This has to be the most beautiful property in Manuel Antonio. Set deep in the jungle but close to all attractions in the area. Beautiful villas with modern design located so that you feel you have the resort to yourself. Quiet except for birds, howler monkeys and a stream that runs through the property. Great pool area where they serve breakfast which is very nice. No buffet, you order off menu which is nice. Food is great, shout out to Jackson the chef and the staff at ECOTICA for making our three days memorable. We hated to leave. If you have plans for the Manuel Antonio area and need accommodations this is the place.

This is a simply stunning hotel nestled into the gorgeous cliffs of Manuel Antonio! The rooms were beautiful and with very comfortable beds- perfect to come back to after a long day of adventuring. There is also a beautiful pool area along with a restaurant and bar for guest to enjoy! The staff were pleasant and friendly- specifically Moses! Overall wonderful stay.

The hotel's location is unbeatable. Clean, spacious rooms, 2 large beds, the cutest hotel staff in the world, I must mention Moshe from the pool and Yehoshua from the reception, simply princes. The hotel has an excellent bar and restaurant, with live performances. In short, excellent.

Nothing, juste be aware of stair in the hotel ( the outside area ).

It was beautiful, the site, small trail, pool, animals( monkey, Mackay, ) were everywhere. That was amazing. The staff, Joshua at the reception, Kerly at the pool restaurant were very kind and sympathique. And it was in the centre of Manuel Antonio, all restaurant are walking distance.

Very expensive, but a first class resort like this comes at a price.

Joshua at the front desk answered all questions and helped out when needed. Impeccable service and always with a smile. Unbeatable location. Nice pool, luscious gardens. Wonderful breakfast.

We had a bungalow suite which was beautiful, very comfy and great to be immersed in the wildlife to view from a private terrace. Staff were attentive and kept everything spotless. Immersed in the pool watching scarlet macaws circle above, brilliant!!

For our whole stay, the hotel WiFi internet connection didn't work. I complained at least three times to the hotel front desk but I got the feeling that my complaints just stopped there. The problem was never fixed. The front desk came up with an excuse that internet service in the area was spotty. This was obviously not true because if we went to the YOLO restaurant (on the same property), their WiFi connections worked just fine. The WiFi connection was also used inside our room for streaming television, like Netflicks. This meant that we couldn't watch any of these channels. A lack of an internet connection was a problem for me because even though I was on vacation, I am in regular communication with my company.

The breakfast was good but wasn't special. The overall facility was wonderful.

The staff were so smiley and friendly. The hotel rooms were large and the hotel itself was beautiful, especially near the pool where we had breakfast. It was an added bonus the hotel was connected to a bar with lots of games!

The music in the main restaurant was a bit loud in the evening - with an annoying beat. This improved when the live entertainment started around 7pm. There are a lot of uneven steps which are dimly lit at night - this may be a problem for some guests.

Lovely pool area - enjoyed eating breakfast there. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room with great service. Lots of wildlife to spot in the grounds including a sloth, monkeys and an armadillo. Good gluten free options at breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed the table games provided in the restaurant.

Everything. It was even better than presented on booking.com

The only thing was not having ventilation in the bathroom.

The hotel grounds was beautiful! It was conveniently located - close to Manuel Antonio National Park and we took the local bus to Quepos. There were restaurants and shops nearby (liquor store, supermarket, souvenirs). We were initially a bit nervous about the made to order breakfast vs buffet style since we had 7-8am pickups for excursions but the hotel accommodated us by preparing breakfasts ready for us. Lastly, I appreciated the friendliness and responsive of all staff! They were always so helpful.

There was loud music in the evening coming from the bars around the hotel, but it never went on until too late and didn't impact our sleep. We were there in low season though and I am not sure how noisy it gets during the most popular holiday periods.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ecotica. The staff was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We were kindly given a room upgrade and loved the bungalow, which had a beautiful decor, comfortable bed, lovely jungle surroundings. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The common areas very well kept and beautiful. We loved hanging by the pool and saw so much wildlife from there! The on-site bar/restaurant offered good food and a lovely atmosphere, with live music and games.

Nothing, good setting, good food, excellent staff. Oh, there are a lot of steps to some rooms as hotel is set on hillside, though you can walk round from the front to avoid most of them.

Amazing hotel set in the beauty of the natural flora of the area. Much of the animal life you might expect to see in the nearby National Park is in the hotel grounds. Whilst enjoying the lovely blue pool, we saw squirrel and white face monkeys, as well as howlers. Macaws are nesting in the trees, we saw a humming bird close by from our breakfast table as well as other birds during the day, fire flies, and toads in the evening. The staff are really cheery, willing to help and Mosses made the best Pina Colada cocktail. The hotel is clean, rooms serviced daily, aircon, fridge and coffee machine in room, beds comfy. Location is 30 minute walk to Manual Antonio National Park and beaches. Walking back is up a steep hill, could be testing for some but we liked it. Would definitely rebook if ever in Costa Rica again.
