This hotel is absolutely gorgeous! I've never experienced such friendly staff. Truly a joy, all of them! I lost my purse with my ID, money, and credit card and before I reported it, they had it at the front desk because housekeeping had found it and everything was in it. There were howler monkeys right outside my room in the trees, macaws flew overhead, amazing pool area, free breakfast freshly made by Chef, great coffee. The entire menu is so good, we tried almost everything! There was live music by an amazing guitarist/singer every evening.

Rooms was very nice and comforable in a jungle setting. Breakfast (next to the pool) was good. Pool is nice. We were lucky it was very quiet so always beds available. The upstairs restaurant was not as nice as could be, a bit soulless with a grim looking casino inside as well. However, many options outside the hotel. Can recommend.

We would have loved to give this property 5 stars. It was clean, beautiful, centrally located. Great pool, cool bar upstairs with live music and great TVs each evening. Close to the beach, a quick 80 cent bus ride, stops right in front. Staff gave very good service. Now the cons- NO ONE was Pura Vida. We were not asked our names the whole 5 days, no one was happy to see us, ever. The servers and bartenders seemed very disconnected from us. The drinks were VERY EXPENSIVE and they were not strong, EVER. example=34.00 for two drinks- they were okay at best. we started bringing our own or going elsewhere. Becuase the drinks were so expensive and mediocre we didn't eat there, only the free breakfast, which was fantastic every day. We ate everywhere else and the food was GREAT and the drink were half the price. Everyone at all the other places we visited were so friendly and personable. We wished we had saved the money at ECOTICA and airbnb's it for less. Also, teh AC had issues our whole visit. They were quick to respond but the problem ultimately was not solved. Again, we loved a lot about this property. At 5pm the monkeys come out and play right in front of the bar. But you don't have to stay there to enjoy that. Missing the PURA VIDA

Multiple stairs on property that were of varying heights and depths. Stairs are not very well lit and are tiled. When it is dark and the stairs are wet, they are deadly. There is a casino on property-no mention of that anywhere. Music from the bar is loud and played constantly. The food is terrible and more than twice the price at any other resort. I stayed at another resort. Ecotica offered a future stay credit but they never delivered it. Quite frankly, I don't want a future credit at this dangerous, noisy, clip joint/rip off establishment. Expedidia didn't make mention of a noisy casino on the property! This is the epitome of a rip off hotel, that using expedia, should make it easy to avoid. Let severely down by the hotel and expedia! Oh yeah, breakfast sucked too!

My stay at ECOTICA Boutique Hotel was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The location is unbeatable—tucked away in a lush rainforest oasis yet close enough to explore nearby attractions. It’s the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and easy access to adventure. The hotel is impeccably clean, and every detail is thoughtfully maintained. From the beautifully designed rooms to the serene outdoor spaces, everything feels like it was crafted to help guests unwind and connect with nature. The wildlife is incredible! I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and even spotting monkeys right from the property! The staff, though, are what truly make this place shine. They are warm, attentive, and go out of their way to ensure you have an amazing experience. I want to give a special shoutout to Joshua, who was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout my stay. His care and professionalism made my visit even more memorable—thank you, Joshua! ECOTICA Boutique Hotel is a true gem, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re seeking tranquility, adventure, or just a break from the ordinary, this is the place to go. I’m already dreaming of my next visit!

Hotel Ecotica Hotel Ecotica is a little paradise right in the middle of Manual Antonio, when in the town it’s very accessible to the beach via public transport and there are little shops nearby, the rooms are spacious and guess what you can see or hear wildlife if you are lucky to wake up at 5am!! We would like to extend our gratitude to Josh who really stepped up when my partner fell ill for the first few days, he was extremely knowledgeable regarding the area, the medical centres and above all extremely Approachable and friendly.. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Emily at the restaurant who was extremely friendly and always served us with a warm smile..

The term "boutique" hotel here is a stretch. For example they also own the "YOLO Social Club and Casino" at the front of the property... Staff were not very responsive on both Expedia and Whatsapp, the latter being the default communication method in Costa Rica. The vast majority of the imagery online is of the bungalows which is a bit misleading in terms of the overall aesthetic, but we stayed in the cheaper Double Queen Suite which is very spacious for a couple. The breakfast also does not look like the images on their own website. The shower water pressure was poor, much like the Wi-Fi. The staff blamed weak signal on the rainy weather, but we connected easily to other Wi-Fi networks everywhere else we went in Manuel Antonio. Lots of parking space and a decent central location, good for using taxis as well. Many Capuchin monkeys and Agoutis roaming the property, which are fun to watch.
