Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very nice. Went early so I don’t think we saw the full experience that can be offered later at night with music and such. Stayed at hotel with a kitchenette so this was a great place to get fresh fruits and eggs. Not really an environment to haggle but helps to know spanish of you aren’t paying in local currency to make sure your change is at proper exchange rate. Go if you need groceries. It’s behind the bus stop. Safe experience.

Went on Friday evening at 6pm and found yummy food such as local cheese, fruits, vegetables, bakery items, honey, etc, as well as a few booths of homemade artisan crafts. We bought almost all of our souvenirs at this fair. I was happy to give my money directly to the artists.

We stayed in Atenas and bought our produce at the local farmers market on the Friday (runs Fridays 3pm-9pm, Sat all day). The produce was so much fresher than what you would find in the local Maxi Pali. Also, saw a huge difference in produce freshness when staying in Atenas vs coastal in Puntarenas. If you're staying in Atenas, try and check the market out to stock up on your produce. Can't go wrong!

Although the market is fairly compact, the quality was amazing. I wish that we had had the opportunity to purchase from the market this trip around. The fresh fruit and vegetables were beautiful. They also had some local arts and crafts. The local people were very helpful.

I rented a house in Manuel Antonio and we went down to the Farmers Fair in Quepos to pick up some groceries. I've found that the food/groceries in Manuel Antonio/Quepos is very expensive, but the prices and quality at the Famers Market were amazing. I had the best mangos that I've ever had in my life. The vendor could see us considering the fruit and he opened up one for us to try. Awesome! Also, as others have said the cheese vendor was fantastic. We bought a great Camembert and a goat cheese and I wish we had purchased more. Overall it was great for those who plan on doing some cooking, but even if you don't have a kitchen it's worth it to stop by for fruit and the craft vendors. I also really appreciated that everyone was very kind and honest about our lack of Spanish and the currency conversions. I had several vendors shake their heads and give me back some money when I over paid them. The market is open from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. I recommend getting there on Friday for the best selection.

The Quepos farmers market happens every Friday (all day) and on Saturday until noon. It's not very big, about half a square block, but always worth a peak. We stayed at a condo this year with a full kitchen so obviously had more incentive to stock up for the week. But even if you only have a hotel room it's a good place to meet locals. ask questions and try something you might not otherwise experience. Definitely check out the Rambutans if you've never had one! (see pic). Friday late afternoon seems to be the busiest as locals head to the market after work. Saturdays seem much more quiet. You'll probably find it easier to park, if you have a rental car, if you go earlier on Friday or anytime before noon on Saturday.
The market has a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as some folks selling handcrafted souvenirs. All of the vendors have a calculator to show you the price so don't worry if your Spanish is rusty or non-existent. Most, if not all, will accept dollars but colones are the easiest.
It's super easy to find as it sits on the south side of downtown Quepos just before the marina on one of the busiest corners in Quepos. Impossible to miss.

Very fun to visit. We tried and purchased delicious fruits we had never heard of before. We also bought some ginger cookies. Many options and neat arts and crafts. Beautiful views and fun people watching. Begins Friday at 4 and goes through Saturday mid day. Farmers pick fruit at 4 am to come and sell. Also shrimp and fish for sale.

Located close to the Marina, the Farmer's market is held on a Friday evening and on Saturday mornings. It is very simple with the main produce focused on fruit and vegetables. There are some souvenir stalls and some clothing stalls. All the stall holders are friendly and not 'pushy' for you to purchase anything. A nice place to wander around and see what's on offer.

What a treat this was! Yes it's small, but there is a lot packed into a small area! Felt incredibly safe and the locals were more than friendly and engaging. I purchased some yellowfin tuna that was the freshest, most tasty tuna I've ever had! Seared it and ate it rare that night. It was delicious! The Ticos are such incredible people and this was a perfect way to experience them while supporting their local efforts. The fruit, the cheese.....omg the cheese. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. I made my husband walk up and down the entire market probably 10 times just taking everything in. This is a MUST DO!!! Can seem intimidating at first, but it isn't in the slightest. You won't regret this one. My husband and I went on Friday night and it was beautiful!

Nice outdoor market Friday afternoon. Can’t say prices were cheap but less expensive than tourist trinket stores. Nice array of fruits and vegetables. Poured down rain during our visit which made it more interesting.

Never change at an airport. The worse exchange rate.

What are your hours?
Could you give me the address for our GPS?
Thank you

I know on Friday the market opens at 4:00pm, but not sure what time it runs until. We were there till 6:30 and it was still going strong. I also know they are open Saturday but not sure what time as we left that day. Other reviews have stated that it opens early Saturday morning until about 12:00. I couldn't find a GPS address for you, but this review page shows the location on the map right above. Also for a GPS address you might try the Best Western at Central Ave | PO Box 18-6350, Quepos 6350, Costa Rica. This hotel is right across the street from the market. Make sure you bring reusable bags if you would like to buy a lot of goods this makes it much easier to walk around. Also I suggest going there as soon as it opens on Friday evening if possible and staying to watch the amazing sunset in the marina.
