ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay here. Location is fantastic with lots of restaurants nearby. We found more monkeys in the resort than in the rainforest, which the kids enjoyed. Very easy to get to the town Quepos nearby to experience life like the locals do. Depending on the beach you want to go, they are within 3-5 mins drive. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend"
