El Cerro Hotels near Quepos

"Studio units are very roomie, comfortable, and the generous size balconies are big plus. Nice restaurants and cafes are nearby. "

"Room is clean but dated. We stayed in a larger room with mini kitchen. Staff were all friendly. Location is perfect. Quite a few restaurants to choose from. Close to the beach. There’s a bus close to the hotel that runs every 15 minutes. Lots of monkeys early in the morning. Lots of stairs which all reviews state. "

"Really lovely hotel. Pool was great and staff were all very friendly. Amazing panoramic views and shout out to the fresh omelettes for breakfast! Would recommend :)"

"The resort is paradise. We stayed in the Vista Suite overlooking the ocean. We saw many animals from our private terrace including daily morning sightings of the Capuchin monkeys frolicking by the swimming pool. On the grounds of the resort we saw macaws, variety of other parrots, sloths, and iguanas. The staff was incredible, very friendly and professional. The food in the restaurants was exceptional as was the service. Highly recommend this resort."

"This place was absolutely magical everything it seemed and more!"

"View was amazing! Sunset from restaurant and sunrise from lying in bed! Staff was even more exceptional- treated us like family, especially Enzo. WiFi was not good in the room, but AC was strong. The nature tour was a treat, we saw monkeys up close and also sloths, birds and iguana. A tucán was right next to us at breakfast! No pool- it's more of a place to use as homebase when doing other things, not to stay all day. But such a beautiful place to start and end the day!"

"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! "

"The Falls Resort is such a beautiful place. Animal life everywhere. The food and service was excellent, and the pool and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The resort is in easy walking distance to shopping, grocery stores, banks, restaurants, and the beach. Highly recommend! "

"Staff are happy and very helpful, but this property is extremely dated. There is no way this can be considered luxury. Feels like a 3-star at best. We couldn't wait to leave."
