Amazing stay at Ecotica. The room with two queen beds was quite spacious and it was spotless everyday. We also were up in the trees where we were graced with squirrel monkey’s swinging in the trees next to our room every day. We saw a sloth up close and white face monkeys every day along with many other animals. It truly was a treat! The grounds were lush and beautiful and the staff were magical! Definately staying her again!

The pool and lounge area was so perfect!! Especially after going on adventures all day. It was a great place to relax. It was intimate and we got to know multiple guests. Beautiful property!! Moneys, toucans, mini capybara looking things would come out and get pretty close! It was amazing. Our villa was great and felt private even though the pool was a quick walk away. Breakfast was great! 10/10 would recommend this place. We even had my six year old and she loved it too. Lots of couples and some families. Great place to relax but super close to everything. We really loved our server, Moses!! He was the absolute best!

This was an amazing resort. The pool is warm and shaded and comfortable and a great respite from the heat. The best part of the day is evening (around 4:30 to 5:30pm) when the animals come out to play at the pool. Highly recommend lounging at the pool before sunset to see the birds, monkeys and occasional deer! Rooms are great and the access to YOLO, the bar/restaurant next door and the pool bar/resto, is great for breakfast (breakfast was included in our booking), pool side drinks and snacks (there was a 2 for 1 cocktails happy hour from 3-6), and dinner in the main resto. Our kids (12 and 15) also enjoyed playing pool and the numerous games available at the resto area. Rooms were great with great AC which was essential in Manuel Antonio. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We would consider staying here again if we were to return to MA.

We were a day late checking into the hotel, but everyone made us feel so welcomed and was very kind. The breakfast that was made to order was so delicious. The housekeeper did a wonderful job cleaning our bungalow and made our anniversary feel special. It felt like a dream. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in Costa Rica and loves wildlife as much as I do. Thank you so much again! Pura Vida!
