“A nature lovers paradise”

We had an incredible stay at EcoHotel Riomar. Laura and her team are from the community, have deep love for the area, and create a warm and inviting experience. We ate most of our meals with the EcoHotel and enjoyed over 6 species of delicious fish, local vegetables, and fresh squeezed juices at every meal. Mecana beach is absolutely beautiful - we went on long walks and played in the waves everyday, we went tubing down the river, Laura set us up with a bird guide to take us in the jungle and visit a Harpy Eagle nest, and we also went kayaking through the mangroves! Laura also offers trips to a waterfall, snorkeling, and whale watching (in the right season). Laura worked as a veterinarian for many years in Bahía Solano and is very passionate and knowledgable about the environment and wildlife. She is working with the community in Mecana to help control the population of dogs and cats.

“Amazing place”

I had an absolutely amazing stay at ecohotel riomar mecana. The cabin was very nice, spacious with a very comfortable bed + large mosquito net and a terrace area at the front with a hammock to relax in! The food was really nice with some good variety. Drinks always available at the bar. Mecana beach itself is picturesque and very quiet. Most of the time I had the beach to myself. I came to the area mostly to look for wildlife and trekking tours were arranged by the hotel with two local guides antonio and chicho. We spent hours walking around the long trails in the jungle just behind the hotel. It was great fun and the guides were brilliant. The hospitality of Laura the hotel owner was outstanding, she helped me to get boats to and from the hotel (it is a very short and fun boat ride from bahia solana to the beach) and assisted with everything I needed during my stay. I really loved my stay here and am planning to return again next year
