What stood out to us was how clean everything was—the room, pool, and hallways were spotless. We had an amazing stay, and it’s conveniently located just a short drive from the Quepos Malecón area and Manuel Antonio National Park.

Allison at the reception and Moises at La Pola went above and beyond and provided a great experience at their hotel. The place is very well maintained and the bungalows are superb! Highly recommend this if visiting this area. Capucchino monkeys were around to give us a great welcome!

We loved our stay here! First, the location is PERFECT!!! close to cafe Emilio and the beaches. The room was super clean and nice and the bed was so comfy! We also loved the breakfast in the morning and eating by the pool. When I needed help with something, everyone at the desk was very friendly and helpful. We also got our clothes washed and they came out great. My only complain is the restaurant attached "yolo" is very tacky and almost hinders the luxury and vibes of Ecotica.

Ecotica was beautiful integrated into the jungle, very nice pool lounge area, the breakfast and bar were amazing, and the rooms very comfortable and clean. This is away from the Manuel antonio downtown area which was much nicer and peaceful. Would definitely come back.
