"Excellent hotel, superb staff who went out of their way to welcome and take care of us, top-notch food and helpful & efficient staff in the restaurant, very comfortable room and bed, overall superb. Downtown San Jose is interesting but a bit tatty, though a very prominent security presence was very comforting (though we did not tour after dark). The area is visually attractive but too full of souvenir shops, rather like New York's Times Square in the1980s. But the hotel itself more than compensated for the lack of neighborhood ambience. "

"The staff was 5 stars and the amenities are amazing. The restaurant experience was the icing on the cake "

"This was our first time in Costa Rica and Ecotica delivered to our expectations. The social bar connected to the hotel (YOLO social) had amazing food and drinks. The property of ecotica is beautiful and makes you feel like you are walking through the rain forest. The rooms were clean and had a fresh modern look. Every staff member we encountered was so kind and helpful. I would stay here again when I visit Costa Rica and recommend any of my friends to stay here if they come to MA"

"Lovely room. One of my favorites of the stat. Woke to monkeys every morning!!! Their motto is "Still more.monkeys than people". Saw sloths on the grounds too and the adult pool has incredible ocean views. Very unique place. More animals.here than in the park!"

"The most wonderful hotel experience thus far in 55 years in life and travel. Gorgeous ocean views, wonderful, friendly staff ready to help in any way. Really reasonable prices for this ultimate tropical experience. Wildlife everywhere meets elegance at its finest. Bucket list must. "

"The location is perfect, the stuff are so supportive, the parking in that area is amazing "

"We stayed at the Shana for a week over spring break. Everything about it was wonderful. The staff, the beach, the pool, the breakfast. we saw more wildlife on the hotel proper than we did in Manuel Antonio National Park. The monkeys were daily entertainment. There is a sloth that hangs out in a tree by the adult pool and a set of scarlet macaws that will fly in every day. I can’t recommend this hotel enough."

"Perfect spot to stay next to San Jose city-center. Everything is walkable from this small hotel which is half a block from the main square. Staff is very nice, helpful, English-speaking, and accommodating. Free breakfast is large and lots of choices. Room was HUGE and very clean, bathroom was very modern, and the bed was comfortable. High marks!!"

"Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great value for money and right next to Manuel Antonio park entrance. Close to the beach also. Room was clean and tidy. Facilities could use a few touch ups and the bed was a bit on the 'too firm' side for me but overall would recommend."
