Make the Most of Your Quepos Stay

A working port turned sportfishing capital

Quepos began as a United Fruit Company banana port in the 1930s, and that functional colonial architecture still defines the downtown grid today. When disease wiped out the plantations in the 1950s, the town pivoted to African palm oil, but the real transformation came with Marina Pez Vela. This modern Mediterranean-style complex replaced old railroad tracks with a paved boardwalk and yacht slips, establishing Quepos as the sailfish capital of the world. The marina hosts international fishing tournaments and serves as the social center, with live music, waterfront dining, and an upscale atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the authentic Tico energy of downtown's sodas and weekend farmers market.

Gateway to Manuel Antonio's biodiversity

Most visitors use Quepos as the launching point for Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica's smallest but most visited reserve. The park combines rainforest trails with pristine beaches where you can spot sloths and white-faced monkeys before swimming in calm coves. For a quieter experience, the Damas Island mangrove estuary north of town offers private boat tours through silent waterways where caimans and monkeys appear along the banks. The winding road between Quepos and the park concentrates most hotels and restaurants, many perched on hillsides with sweeping Pacific views.

Practical access and exploring beyond

La Managua Airport (XQP) connects to San José in 20 minutes, while the drive takes 2.5 to 3 hours. Local buses run every 20 minutes between downtown and the national park, though business travelers typically prefer private transfers or rental 4x4s for exploring day trips to Nauyaca Waterfalls or Dominical. Marina Pez Vela offers polished accommodations for corporate needs, while the hillside corridor provides boutique properties with conference capabilities and ocean-view terraces ideal for client entertainment.
