The Manuel Antonio center is about 11 miles north of Manuel Antonio National Park and 19 miles east of Carara National Park.
Below are reviews of the city of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica from an actual visitor's perspective.
Quepos is designed around the hillside and we recommend a taxi driver for sure, we found one we liked and called him every time. I'm so glad we came here before going up to Jaco. Completely different climate and experience!!
We loved the area for its diversity in people and biodiversity. It is small seems like everyone one knows each other. Little town big heart!
