The property conditions and amenities were amazing! Everything was in great condition and extremely clean. In the trees around the property you can even see wildlife wherever you look, including capybaras, capuchin monkeys and even howler monkeys! The only thing that I think could have been better was the customer service. Most staff members we interacted with during our stay were very helpful and welcoming! However, upon check in we were greeted at reception by a woman who was a bit rude and seemed incredibly inconvenienced by us requesting to check into the property 10 minutes early to make a zoom meeting on time. Overall, we would consider staying here again during our next visit to Manuel Antonio and felt that this property had everything we needed for our stay!

We spent 5 nights at Ecotika at the end of our trip to Costa Rica (2 adults and 14 year old) and loved it. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast by the pool was lovely. It was very quiet during our stay. We enjoyed pizza by the pool and several meals and games in YOLO which is the sister restaurant and social bar next door. We were delighted to see lots of monkeys, butterflies, iguanas and a mongoose from our bungalow balcony (highly recommend the beautiful bungalows!)! It was an easy bus ride to Manuel Antonio National Park and Quepos. A wonderful ending to our trip!

We had to move rooms because there was a strong smell of sewer. The fridge didn’t work in both rooms, shower’s water pressure was low. There were constructions going on in the hotel and it was noisy from around 9am. Otherwise the staff was responsive and the pool was nice. The yolo bar which is attached to the hotel was very nice for hanging out at night.

My partner and I absolutely LOVED this hotel. We got a single bungalow and I think it was one of the best decisions we made for our trip during the rainy season. The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had, the bungalow was secluded and we felt like we were in the jungle. It was clean, we saw and heard so much wildlife and the staff was so accommodating. We felt safe and cared for. We were okay when it rained because we knew we could just relax at this hotel. I highly recommend!

Beauty everywhere you look!
We loved it there so much, we changed our itinerary and booked 2 more nights! Everyone was so friendly: Mayela, the cleaning lady was so endearing; Elisa, the girl in the casino cheered me on as I won on the slots; Emanuel was probably my favorite bartender ever; and the cooks were spot on with delicious meals every single time! We saw toucans, playful monkies, lizards, frogs, and even heard the exciting roars from the howler monkies. I hope to return someday. The only word of advice from me would be if you have an aversion to climbing stairs, this place may not be for you.

We travel quite a bit and this is likely the best place we've stayed across 3 continents. We also have never written a review because we're lazy, but this place deserved the shout out. The natural setting is unmatched: rainforest, capuchins, howlers, agoutis, macaws, and so on. The multi-tier layout also offers privacy. The staff was top-notch from the front desk to the on-site bar (YOLO) to the maintenance people. It was also kept very clean and organized. Love this place.
