Directions from the Bus Station
We are in QUEPOS (Manuel Antonio is considered
part of Quepos). When exiting the bus station, you will want
to walk about 25 feet towards the ocean to the corner or the
block where the first street crosses your path.
From here you will take a right where you will
walk for several blocks during which time you will pass “Banco
Nacional,” cross a small bridge and pass a grocery store
on your right called: ¨Super Dos Mil” (Super 2000)
on your right.
Continue walking until you see a green house on
your right. Your accommodations are located next-door in the
building to your immediate left.
You will see a small store on the front left-hand
corner of the property and it is here that you can pick up
your keys from Elisabeth or Macho, the owners of the building
and the proprietors of the small store.
The apartments are close enough to the bus station
that you could walk if you have packed lightly (about 8-10
US city blocks).
If you chose to take a taxi, tell them you want
to go to Abastodor Patricia. If they do not know where this
is you can tell them “cerca de Super Dos Mil” which
is the grocery store nearby your destination that everyone
knows.
Buildings do not have addresses like you’re
used to and often things are known by landmarks, it is the
official postal system! After you have passed the Super 2000
have the driver continue for about a block and a half. You
will see the apartments on your right. It is a two story white
building with four apartments and it sits back from the main
road to accommodate the parking space in front.
To pick-up your keys you will be going to Abastodor
Patricia, which is a small blue store next to your apartments
that sells snacks and sodas and such. The operators of the
store are Elizabeth and Macho. They own the apartments and
they will be expecting you with a smile.
Your keys are available from 9am to 8pm the Friday,
Saturday, or Sunday before your course begins. Should you
run into any difficulties please call us either at the office
777.4042 or on our cell phones – Melanie 306.5395 and
Jason 306.2437.
