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

Raymond Edward, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!

Perla, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. The pool area was definitely the highlight—beautifully maintained and surrounded by nature. It was such a treat to watch monkeys and parrots while relaxing in the water. Breakfast was made to order and quite good, a nice touch to start the day. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, though they could use a bit of a refresh. Another bonus: the hotel is within walking distance of several interesting restaurants, and it’s also very close to Manuel Antonio National Park, which makes it a great base for exploring the area. All in all, a relaxing and memorable stay, especially for nature lovers.

Great Stay!

Great!
lisiane, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We spent out 26th anniversary at Ecotica and we had a blast! The staff was awesome, the free breakfast is great but you can order what you want, you don't have to order from the menu. 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. We spent our mornings and evenings on the balcony listening to the surrounding nature. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying in the area.
JONATHAN, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent place to stay. The staff is very attentive and fast at responding to different requests. The made to order breakfast is delicious and fulfilling. We saw monkeys wight outside our hotel room everyday. Would most definitely recommend this amazing hotel!
Timoteo, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Claire, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Where do i start!! Absolutely love our stay at this hotel within the staff Moses at the bar. He was absolutely wonderful. Check-in was very easy. We had a grand bungalow and our room was phenomenal. Housekeeping was very clean. We’re around a lot of different restaurants five minutes away from the national park it was one great experience. There are a lot of animals and monkeys around in our hotel which was a plus my mom was at another hotel nearby and there wasn’t a lot of animals to see around their hotel but ours had a lot, which was one of the best parts of the experience while you’re laying down on the pool you will absolutely see the animals once in a lifetime experience thank you all for such a great time
Daisy, 7-night trip

We loved it so much, clean, friendly helpful staff, and the wildlife, we already booked a week for next year
candyce, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!

Nancy, 10-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved our stay here! Staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved the pool facilities and being able to see the monkeys right from our hotel! Great restaurants if you don’t want to leave the hotel although lots of great choices very close.
Marsha, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I booked this property based on rating, photos, and price. Everything was wonderful! Beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast included! The pool area with bar is lovely. We saw many monkeys around the property but they did not interfere. We stayed in the suite rooms building, great room but only issue was some street noise; not a deal breaker! I would certainly recommend Ecotica!
Nice little workout area!
Monkeys outside of our building!
Shari, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
