I am so glad we stayed at Ecotica while in Manuel Antonio. The location is right on the main strip, walkable to many restaurants, bars, and other conveniences and just a few minutes drive away from the park. However, it also provided a jungly oasis, with winding paths leading to the different rooms through the jungle, over a stream, and past lots of wildlife including monkeys, frogs, and tons of amazing birds! The staff were very friendly and accommodating; they greeted us by name each day and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. After our day's activities, we spent hours relaxing with drinks in the gorgeous pool area. The room itself was huge, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable, with a private balcony overlooking the trees. It's also worth mentioning that the attached bar, YOLO Social, was always hopping with great drinks, board games, and pool. We looked forward to coming back here after the day's adventures and would absolutely choose it again.
