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).
Great hotel, perfectly located and within walking distance to restaurants and shopping 4 minute driving to the beach. Staff very friendly, rooms were great and very clean.
This was my favorite place we stayed throughout our road trip around Costa Rica. The front desk girl I don’t remember her name was great and super helpful. The food was good, massage was awesome. Loved the room and the animals. All around great experience.

Room was lovely and staff was friendly and helpful! The pool and close up jungle was our favorite part.
Everything was great ! From greeting when we got there to the goodbye when we left !
Place is engaging and has a little bit of everything. We spent time at YOLO there on site bar/ Lounge. Cristofor and the team were just tremendous ! I cannot speak enough good things about this place !!!
Awesome location, extremely friendly staff, food was great, service almost impeccable! Moises at the pool was our best friend by day 2...expect to walk A LOT to get to anything and the beach is not just a hike away...the jungle environment is amazing. Maria at the SPA provides the BEST MASSAGE ever with aromas and sounds. Highly recommend!!!
Amazing stay at Ecotica. The room with two queen beds was quite spacious and it was spotless everyday. We also were up in the trees where we were graced with squirrel monkey’s swinging in the trees next to our room every day.
We saw a sloth up close and white face monkeys every day along with many other animals. It truly was a treat! The grounds were lush and beautiful and the staff were magical!
Definately staying her again!
We had a wonderful stay! It was absolutely beautiful; we loved breakfast by the pool and three beautiful parrots joined almost every morning. The staff were polite and kind, rooms were beautiful and clean.

Awesome staff! Perfect room and had the best view straight from our balcony! 10/10
The staff was so courteous and accommodating. Special thanks to Moses, Maria and Gilbert. Their attention to detail and warmth made the stay extra special.
This hotel is so charming and unique! The staff is super friendly and helpful! The breakfasts are delicious and generous and the restaurant by the pool is beautiful. We loved our bungalow and watching all the animals around the property. Highly recommend!!
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.
