We stayed in a private room for 50 US$ per night. Considering the room (and the whole place) wasn't really very clean, and pretty run-down, this is overpriced - unfortunately like many places in Costa Rica. Other comments: + nice pool and common area (but also starting to get run-down) + free internet computers + convenient location - common kitchen... More

We chose this hostel per lonely planet's guide book only.. the hostels website was very misleading made everything look bigger, nicer.... we came from Arenal Volcano area where they where cleaning every two seconds to not sure if they cleaned at all at wide mouth. Lesson learned never just go by the guide book always check in with trip advisor.... More

Wide Mouth Frog is an ok place to stay if you want to visit the Manuel Antonio National Park. It is conveniently located near the bus station. I stayed in a 13-bed dorm which was very hot but ok. Wifi only works next to the front desk and there were no power outlets available except in the kitchen area. Management... More

Yes, it is spotlessly clean and we had no problems with any of the amenities (hot showers in Costa Rica? Really? You need hot water?). The place is plastered with rules but most of them make sense and the kitchen is well-equipped: you can save a lot of cash cooking your own food. Management is a little brusque and cold:... More

If you go for the cheapest option you really do get what you pay for. The showers are cold (not that that mattered as it was blisteringly hot), the rooms were hot with a useless fan, the mattress isn't the comfiest but the owners are brilliantly helpful and friendly, there is an extensive DVD collection in case the weather is...

Big rooms (11 persons), no hooks on the wall to hang up anything. No electricity in the room. If you need to recharge something, you're mostly lost! There are only a few plugs in the public area, but there the WiFi does not work at most places. Cold water showers only. Swimming pool is nice. Breakfast is included. More

This place is a really great place to stay! Of all the places my boyfriend and I stayed in our 2 weeks traveling around Costa Rica, this was our favorite.
