Absolutely stunning! Between the foliage and animals ( monkey's and McCaws ) you get to see, this is paradise. Words can not explain my wife and I experience. The staff worked in unison which made our stay flawless. You wouldn't even have to leave the property if you didn't want to. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and I haven't seen that glow from here in years. 100% recommend. Clean, safe, friendly and Ecotica treats you like family. You will not regret it. We're already planning our next stay. PURA VIDA!!!

Where do i start!! Absolutely love our stay at this hotel within the staff Moses at the bar. He was absolutely wonderful. Check-in was very easy. We had a grand bungalow and our room was phenomenal. Housekeeping was very clean. We’re around a lot of different restaurants five minutes away from the national park it was one great experience. There are a lot of animals and monkeys around in our hotel which was a plus my mom was at another hotel nearby and there wasn’t a lot of animals to see around their hotel but ours had a lot, which was one of the best parts of the experience while you’re laying down on the pool you will absolutely see the animals once in a lifetime experience thank you all for such a great time

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. The pool area was definitely the highlight—beautifully maintained and surrounded by nature. It was such a treat to watch monkeys and parrots while relaxing in the water. Breakfast was made to order and quite good, a nice touch to start the day. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, though they could use a bit of a refresh. Another bonus: the hotel is within walking distance of several interesting restaurants, and it’s also very close to Manuel Antonio National Park, which makes it a great base for exploring the area. All in all, a relaxing and memorable stay, especially for nature lovers.

We spent out 26th anniversary at Ecotica and we had a blast! The staff was awesome, the free breakfast is great but you can order what you want, you don't have to order from the menu. We enjoyed YOLO just about every night, they have board games, pool table and great food/staff. We saw macaws, toucans, white faced capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys and howlers from our balcony, it was an OASIS. The resort is small but we didn't feel cramped or crowded. We spent our mornings and evenings on the balcony listening to the surrounding nature. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying in the area.

Thisos a small little boutique hotel that is beautiful. The staff were so helpful, the food was good, the rooms were clean and comfortable. There we only 2 things that were not perfect and really not a big deal. Frist there is not an elevator and there are many steps up to the room with luggage. Secondly in room 17 you could easily here the music from YOLO. There is another gpod sode pf this hotel; MONKEYS!

Beautiful property located in a great location. We saw the most wildlife from the hotel and saw all three types of monkeys, scarlet macaws, and yellow-throated tucans, all from our balcony! Lastly, Moses the bartender is phenomenal and a great host, and very welcoming. Could not recommend a better place than Ecotica!

This place blew away my expectations. We stayed for a week. The staff is excellent. Shout out to Moises who is the best! Pool area is great with good drinks and food as well as service. Yolo had some of the best food in the area and super convenient. Guest services was super helpful and arranged all of our activities and even let my son borrow a wireless phone charger for a few days since he was having problems. Rooms are clean and maid service was daily and great. Felt super safe. Monkeys rolling in a few times a day was a treat as well. I would definitely stay again.

I booked this property based on rating, photos, and price. Everything was wonderful! Beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast included! The pool area with bar is lovely. We saw many monkeys around the property but they did not interfere. We stayed in the suite rooms building, great room but only issue was some street noise; not a deal breaker! I would certainly recommend Ecotica!
Nice little workout area!
