Exôtico Beach & Rooms

Exotico Beach Hotel is an incredible hidden gem on the southern shores of Costa Rica’s Caribbean Sea shores. The hotel is a perfect hidden getaway in the middle of the jungle, literally, where you will hear howler monkeys every morning, have an incredible opportunity to see Parrots, and all kinds of other wonderful wildlife. The food at this hotel is on point and the staff is very accommodating. 10/10 I highly recommend.

The hotel is small (17 rooms) but very clean, tidy, and nicely organized around the pool and restaurant. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful—we even lost a charger, and they managed to organize a replacement from town within just two hours. The restaurant is very good, though a bit on the expensive side. The location is excellent, with plenty of restaurants nearby and Puerto Viejo reachable by car in under 15 minutes. Personally, I found going by bike too dangerous. A real highlight is the possibility to use the beach facilities of their partner hotel. The staff there were also very friendly, and thanks to a quick call from our receptionist, we had beach chairs reserved in the front row. There, you can dive straight into the ocean—something you can’t do directly at the beach of exotico beach. A stroll along the beach is also possible, and I even enjoyed a 20-minute run there in the morning, which was amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and really enjoyed the many possibilities the region has to offer. Would I come back? Yes.

Amazing stay Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel. Everything from check-in to check-out was perfect. Nice and clean room, fantastic garden/pool, close to the beach and the best staff ever. Leonardo and colleagues did a fantastic job.

The pool and the facilities are really nice. I didn't much care for the breakfast or the room not having a dedicated bathroom with a door. That can make it uncomfortable for those who need some privacy. Staff is great and the bed is comfortable.

We spent 5 wonderful days at the Exotico Hotel. Everything was absolutely perfect. The room, the lunch, the beach... But, above all, we will keep fond memories of the welcome received in this unique hotel. Thank you all and we really hope to be able to come back. We toured Costa Rica in different hotels but you are truly the best. Thank you and I wish you all the best !

Best experience ever. Highly recommend! This facility and its staff are amazing beyond description. We spent two glorious weeks and felt like family when we left. The dining options were great and the service excellent. The environment surrounding the property was filled with monkey's and birds. Short walk to the beach and the town of Manzanillo.
