A hotel in a natural paradise
The staff were super friendly, breakfast delicious (especially the breakfast burritos) cocktails amazing in the Yolo bar and the loaded nachos too.
The best thing was the way the place is built in a rain forest. The plants were amazing and I saw monkeys, a sloth with a baby, a humming bird, butterflies, ants. Really great. I hope to be back oneday.

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.

So impressed with ECOTICA!
Our stay was fabulous! The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast every day was prepared for us and it was delicious! We had the chance to see wild life - birds, monkeys, and even a sloth! We will absolutely come back!

Very attentive hotel crew with great communication skills ( I don't speak Spanish!)
Example: After one of the dinners I left my credit card at the table after paying for it. Before I reached my room I had a message from front desk with instruction how to retrieve it

We loved our stay at Ecotica. The staff (especially Karolina and Rodolfo) were great. Everything was very clean and inviting. There were a lot of animals you could view from your room. Out of all the places we stayed on our trip this was a favorite. We would return in a minute.

This was such a cool place to stay, all the staff was very nice and welcoming! They helped me with beaches, activities, assisted with the rental car company when I had a flat tire! The property is beautiful, I sat on my little porch and watched it rain one afternoon then watched the monkeys all come alive when it was done, so neat!
