Hotel & Resort Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
Jungle Boutique Resort in the Heart of Manuel Antonio
We are thrilled to announce that after six months of remodeling, the former Byblos Resort & Casino has been transformed into ECOTICA Hotel & Resort with significant changes that will provide a unique lodging experience for our guests.
One of the major highlights of our transformation is the creation of a brand-new lobby and reception area. This completely new space is located adjacent to our new restaurant “Pool Lounge” with the renovated pool, which now offers a more relaxing and inviting atmosphere for our guests. Additionally, we have constructed a new deck that seamlessly blends with the lush nature surrounding our hotel, creating a cozy ambiance for our guests during their stay.
We have also completely remodeled our guest rooms, including a complete overhaul of the furniture and the addition of kitchens in some of them for added convenience. We have also improved our common areas, such as our pool and our new pool lounge, to enhance our guests’ overall experience.
In addition to these changes, we have added two new restaurants, YOLO Social and Pool Lounge, where our guests can enjoy delicious food and drinks. We have also opened a new café for our guests to enjoy a good cup of coffee in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Finally, we have created a new gaming area within YOLO Social that includes fun activities such as axe throwing, darts, giant Jenga, and other board games.
We are excited to introduce these new changes and enhancements, especially our brand-new lobby and reception area. We look forward to welcoming our guests to ECOTICA Hotel & Resort for an unforgettable experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information or if you would like to make a reservation at our hotel. We look forward to seeing you soon!
