La comida espectacular

The property really makes you feel like you’re in the middle of a rainforest, but the staff does a great job of making sure you are enjoying your stay. I highly recommend Ecotica.

Excellent stay, love the property. Just want I needed and wanted for my birthday getaway. Staff very nice and accommodating with every step of the way. Highland recommended stay!

We stayed with the magnificent trees of Costa Rica. Monkeys sometimes visited our patio with butterflies dancing below. The staff was warm, eager to make us feel welcome, prepared yummy local breakfast, and connected us to wonderful tours. It felt like we were in a living painting. We are grateful for all the conservation efforts from the locals so the world can have safe breaths. Gracias. Pura Vida.

We had an unforgettable stay at Casa Tropical near Manuel Antonio! The home is surrounded by incredible wildlife—during our visit we saw squirrel monkeys, capuchin monkeys, macaws, toucans, parrots, agoutis, a gladiator frog, iguanas, hummingbirds, and more. It felt like living in a nature documentary!The house itself is spacious, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable, and the air conditioning in the bedrooms worked perfectly—cool and refreshing. The pool has been updated from the photos and is even more stunning in person, a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.One unexpected gem was the library—something for everyone to read. Then there are plenty of peaceful spots around the home to unwind and read during our stay. The road up to the house is much easier to navigate than many others in the area, which made coming and going fairly hassle-free.Andres, the host, was incredibly welcoming. He greeted us upon arrival, walked us through everything the home had to offer (including how to call birds and other wildlife!), arranged our National Park tour, and offered great suggestions for other activities.Casa Tropical was the perfect home base for our Costa Rican adventure—comfortable, inspiring, and full of life in every sense. If we ever get an opportunity to come back, we will look no further than Casa Tropical.

Our recent stay at the Oasis Adult Retreat was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the sheer beauty of the property. Lush greenery enveloped the grounds, creating a truly peaceful and natural setting that felt wonderfully secluded. The treehouse views were a delightful touch, offering a unique perspective of the stunning surroundings with wildlife visits from monkeys to Scarlet Macaws. What truly set this experience apart was the welcoming and affirming atmosphere of this LGBTQ+ friendly hotel. It felt incredibly comfortable and liberating to relax and be ourselves in such an inclusive space. The hotel's amenities were also fantastic. The pool offered a refreshing escape, and the hot tub was an absolute highlight. Soaking in the warm water at night, surrounded by the beautifully lit property and the enchanting sounds of the rainforest, was an unforgettable experience. Beyond the hotel itself, the location is incredibly convenient. Manuel Antonio National Park, with its breathtaking beaches and diverse wildlife, is just a 12 minute drive. I also appreciated the easy access to a wide array of delicious dining options, unique shopping experiences, and exciting tour activities. Everything I wanted to explore was within easy reach. I wholeheartedly recommend the Oasis Adult Retreat and extend a special thank you to Stephen and his dedicated staff. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made this a one-of-a-kind experience.
