We loved our stay here! First, the location is PERFECT!!! close to cafe Emilio and the beaches. The room was super clean and nice and the bed was so comfy! We also loved the breakfast in the morning and eating by the pool. When I needed help with something, everyone at the desk was very friendly and helpful. We also got our clothes washed and they came out great. My only complain is the restaurant attached \"yolo\" is very tacky and almost hinders the luxury and vibes of Ecotica.

Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. We especially appreciated the breakfast staff member. He was consistently friendly and warm, and the chefs for both breakfast and dinner—everything was exceptional, including a homemade blue cheese dressing that was outstanding. The breakfast potatoes were absolutely delicious.

I was also very grateful for the front desk team’s help on 6/17. I was feeling stressed because I couldn’t figure out how to purchase tickets for Manuel Antonio National Park, since they can’t be bought at the gate. I couldn’t complete the checkout process on my own, but the front desk employee patiently assisted me and made everything so much easier. I truly appreciated the support.

Our stay at Ecotica was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and offers an unforgettable Costa Rican experience. We loved seeing wildlife around the property, and the rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable.

The only disappointing part of our visit was our experience at the YOLO restaurant. Unfortunately, we encountered a waiter who was quite rude and made us feel unwelcome. He rolled his eyes when we asked questions and when we requested recommendations, which left a negative impression. The service we received there did not reflect the excellent hospitality we experienced throughout the rest of the hotel.

Despite this unpleasant experience at the restaurant, everything else about Ecotica was outstanding. The property, atmosphere, and overall service were exceptional. We would still recommend Ecotica to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio and would gladly stay here again.

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.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Ecotica. The pool area is well kept and inviting. The rooms could use a bit of updating but filled our purpose as it was spacious. The bathroom was small in proportion to the room. The breakfast served was fresh, but the fruit didn’t seem fresh. Nothing spectacular but there were few choices. The major downfall of the resort is the amount of stairs! Crazy amount of stairs in the humidity!
The brightest stars were the front desk staff. Allison was the sweetest. She greeted us with a smile and was always there to help us with our plans. Raphael was also very helpful and accommodated our wishes whenever able.

Tropical Paradise at Ecotica Boutique Hotel
If you are looking for an authentic and intimate Costa Rican experience, Ecotica Boutique Hotel in Manuel Antonio is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, we felt less like \"hotel guests\" and more like welcomed friends in a private jungle sanctuary.
The staff here truly understands the \"Pura Vida\" spirit. Every interaction was marked by genuine warmth and a \"nothing is too much trouble\" attitude.

One of the most magical parts of staying at Ecotica is that you don't even have to leave the property to see Costa Rica’s famous residents. The hotel is beautifully integrated into the rainforest, and we were treated to daily visits from:
• Monkeys: Playful capuchin and squirrel monkeys
• Birds: Stunning scarlet macaws and toucans adding vibrant splashes of color to the canopy.

The Highlight, Spa Services by Maria
While the entire stay was fantastic, the absolute standout experience was the spa. Specifically, you must book a session with Maria.
Her technique is incredible—easily one of the best massages I have ever had. Maria has a gift for finding every bit of tension and melting it away. Combined with the sounds of the jungle is absolutely incredible!
Highly recommend Ecotica!

We stayed in one of 7 bungalows which was fabulous. Some of the rooms were directly onto the road, whereas all the bungalows were tucked away at the back, near the swimming pool and close to the forest gardens with it's daily dose of wildlife. The rooms were kept beautifully clean and it was lovely having dressing gowns to lounge around in. Shame no sun on the terrace, but the rooms were always cool...
Every afternoon about 4pm came the wildlife show. Each day different, whether it was capuchin monkeys or macaws, howler monkeys or toucans, we always made sure we were there ready with our binoculars and camera.

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.

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.

The hotel was great. Stayed in a Signature Bungalow for 5 nights. Great location. Breakfast was good. 5 or 6 options on the menu. Good coffee, juice & water.

The staff made the stay great. Especially Robert and Moy.

My only complaint was the check in process we arrived from San Jose by car 3.5 hour drive. Arrived at the Hotel at 2pm, check in is 3pm. The young woman working reception told us that the bungalow was still being cleaned.. which was not true, I walked over and looked. No early check in. Unbelievable! The hotel was not booked plenty of vacancy. Slow rainy season. Reception made us wait until after 3 to check in. Never offered to take are bags and store them while we explored town. My opinion is reception needs better customer service skills/people skills. Reception is the first people you typically meet at a hotel. Further, there are sooo many places to stay in Manual Antonio.

We booked a bungalow and the views were to die for! extremely clean and very accommodating. Breakfast is by the pool, which gives you a scenic view, and of course the staff were also extremely kind.

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.

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!

The staff were very friendly and the hotel grounds were very beautiful. A frog even stayed right outside our bungalow for a while, and we saw capuchin monkeys on our balcony. Downside is that the wifi was very very slow, virtually nonexistent at times. Also beware of bugs.
