ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.

ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.

10/10 Excellent
"Tropical Paradise at Ecotica Boutique Hotel If you are looking for an authentic and intimate Costa Rican experience, Ecotica Boutique Hotel in Manuel Antonio is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, we felt less like "hotel guests" and more like welcomed friends in a private jungle sanctuary. The staff here truly understands the "Pura Vida" spirit. Every interaction was marked by genuine warmth and a "nothing is too much trouble" attitude. One of the most magical parts of staying at Ecotica is that you don't even have to leave the property to see Costa Rica’s famous residents. The hotel is beautifully integrated into the rainforest, and we were treated to daily visits from: • Monkeys: Playful capuchin and squirrel monkeys • Birds: Stunning scarlet macaws and toucans adding vibrant splashes of color to the canopy.  The Highlight, Spa Services by Maria While the entire stay was fantastic, the absolute standout experience was the spa. Specifically, you must book a session with Maria. Her technique is incredible—easily one of the best massages I have ever had. Maria has a gift for finding every bit of tension and melting it away. Combined with the sounds of the jungle is absolutely incredible! Highly recommend Ecotica! "
