The staff was so kind and helpful especially Moses and Joshua. The rooms were big and clean and the beds were super comfortable. But the best part were all of the monkeys that seemed to show up every night at happy hour. Would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel!

Great experience overall. Best part is a lot of monkeys and birds are visible from their facility which has a lot of wooded area around it. Spotted capachin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, red macaws, bananaquit, Agoutis and iguana. The hotel is 5 mins from National park and beautiful beaches. A lot of restaurant choices around and a bus shuttle runs every 15 mins to National park.

This was our first time in Costa Rica and Ecotica delivered to our expectations. The social bar connected to the hotel (YOLO social) had amazing food and drinks. The property of ecotica is beautiful and makes you feel like you are walking through the rain forest. The rooms were clean and had a fresh modern look. Every staff member we encountered was so kind and helpful. I would stay here again when I visit Costa Rica and recommend any of my friends to stay here if they come to MA

The staff was amazing! Mariela, Moses, Amy and Kerly were so sweet and friendly. The property is incredible with so much wildlife. The howler monkeys were intense! I miss the sound of them. The monkey mafia (casiblanco) were entertaining. They’d roll through later in the day and put on a show.
