Manuel Antonio National Park Hotel Guide - Adventure Sport Hotels in Manuel Antonio National Park, Puntarenas Province

"La Mariposa was the best place I have ever stayed in Costa Rica. Not only is it a beautiful place, but it is like being in the middle of nature with all of its surprises. Being close to Manuel Antonio Park was a plus, but we got to see all of the wildlife at our hotel. You name it we saw it....Whitefaced, squirrel, howler, and spider monkeys. Slothes, macaws, butterflies galore..... Everything is close by also. While the hotel was amazing, we took advantage of going to local restaurants, zip lining, ATV tour to the falls, mangrove tour with jesus lizards, more monkeys, baby crocs, bats and an education about the local environment and preservation. Half day fishing trip to catch mahi-mahi, mackerel, and sail fish was the great. And we brought the fish back to the hotel where the chef cooked the fish three different ways and all were delicious. We will definitely return!"

"My family and I saw a lot of anime around the hotel during our stay, including a sloth nearby pool, really cool!"

"We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Ecotica. The pool area is well kept and inviting. The rooms could use a bit of updating but filled our purpose as it was spacious. The bathroom was small in proportion to the room. The breakfast served was fresh, but the fruit didn’t seem fresh. Nothing spectacular but there were few choices. The major downfall of the resort is the amount of stairs! Crazy amount of stairs in the humidity! The brightest stars were the front desk staff. Allison was the sweetest. She greeted us with a smile and was always there to help us with our plans. Raphael was also very helpful and accommodated our wishes whenever able. "

"Javier in the restaurant was the best."

"This place is truly a gem. From the special attention given upon arrival to the extraordinary hospitality we received throughout the stay, this is truly a resort I would highly recommend to anyone. Couples, families. Something for everyone. A separate adult pool for more quiet but the family pool with waterfall and water slide has adults also partaking in the fun. Laying on a Lounge and looking at the jungle along with the ocean is breathtaking. We see toucans, parrots and more from just laying at the pool on a lounge chait while having drinks and an exquisite lunch brought to you. Tours pick you up at the resort if you want to have a private tour to see the animals or go tubing rafting zip lining horseback riding. It’s all there. Thank you to the staff including kitchen and restaurant staff. Top notch service. Thanks for the memories. We WILL return."

"As soon as you enter, the entire hotel blows your mind away. It is stunning and gives you a tropical island feel. The room itself gives a relaxing atmosphere."

"Excellent stay and beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend."

"The room was excellent. Loved that every cabin had a little porch on the front on which the guests could relax. I came to the beach resort to finally have some days without hiking or exploring and it was perfect for getting away from the crowds that exist elsewhere in Costa Rica. It felt like the beach was private. There enough other guests there to keep any lonely vibes away but it was so peaceful. You can hear the constant sound of waves from the beachfront rooms and it's amazing. Very nice place especially for a good price."

"One mattress smelled of mildew so we changed to the other bed."
