Clean rooms in a great location. Beautiful resort hotel. Great massage in the spa from Maria. Highly recommend the outdoor shower after. Good restaurants nearby, within walking distance. Too far to walk to the beach (but that was OK since we rented a car).

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!

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.
