Great hotel, perfectly located and within walking distance to restaurants and shopping 4 minute driving to the beach. Staff very friendly, rooms were great and very clean.
The staff was so courteous and accommodating. Special thanks to Moses, Maria and Gilbert. Their attention to detail and warmth made the stay extra special.
This hotel is so charming and unique! The staff is super friendly and helpful! The breakfasts are delicious and generous and the restaurant by the pool is beautiful. We loved our bungalow and watching all the animals around the property. Highly recommend!!
We had a great time at ECOTICA. Moses is a breath of fresh air to start the day while we're enjoying breakfast. I give Moses 5 stars for making our stay at ECOTICA exceptional.
We had a wonderful stay! It was absolutely beautiful; we loved breakfast by the pool and three beautiful parrots joined almost every morning. The staff were polite and kind, rooms were beautiful and clean.
We stayed at the Ecotica hotel for our honeymoon. The property was gorgeous and well maintained. The hotel staff customer service was excellent and they went above and beyond to meet our needs. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the YOLO bar & restaurant was very yummy and convenient. We would definitely come back and stay again.
Wonderful Hotel-Excellent staff!!! Amazing Restaurants…we’ll be back-you’ll be in the middle of a little national park with spider monkeys, white faced monkeys, sloths, Macaws, and Toucans.
10 stars!!!
Robert and Chef made breakfast delightful every morning.
Pedro was very helpful and the rest of the staff very friendly and willing to help if we needed anything.
This is an incredibly beautiful hotel with an amazing staff. Moses is awesome and greets you with a smile every time he sees you. The bar is convenient, although the drinks are very expensive outside of happy hour. There is wildlife all around the hotel, from three different species of monkeys to scarlet macaws, to iguanas and frogs. It's in a great location within walking distance from anything you might need. Highly recommend.
This is a ‘must see ‘ resort. The private cabanas in the middle of the rain forest offers all kinds of wildlife sightings and a peaceful paradise. The staff were engaging and provided excellent service. The pool is an incredible, clean oasis. I’d highly recommend this hotel.
Beautiful boutique hotel about a 5 min taxi from Manuel Antonio. Lots of monkeys and macaws to be seen around the lovely pool.
Very relaxing spot, fun bar/restaurant and another one by the pool.
Fabulous staff and the rooms are stunning and very spacious
My husband and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary, we had an amazing time, from the check in to the check out. All staff were very nice and accommodating. Specially Moi! We loved all his cocktails and kindness. We really appreciate the stay!
