Gay Manuel Antonio Travel Guide

Why is Manuel Antonio so popular with gay travellers?

Manuel Antonio became a gay hotspot by accident according to the locals.

By pure coincidence, as Manuel Antonio grew in popularity, many hotels just so happened to be gay owned which enhanced its popularity with the gay travel market.

As a result, with a higher proportion of gay tourists visiting Manuel Antonio came the demand for gay bars and events to compliment the gay owned hotels and naturally ‘Gay Manuel Antonio’ was born.

Gay Bars in Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio was the first place in Costa Rica outside of the capital city (San Jose) to have a gay bar.

Here you will find a much more chilled gay bar scene to that of San Jose.
