Hotel Nya

"We came to hotel NYA for our honeymoon and were very impressed by the service! By far the best hotel stay we’ve had so far, the rooms were very clean, breakfast was delicious, and staff were very kind and helpful. Every day the staff delivered a little dessert to our room free of charge, and surprised us with a honeymoon gift of a bottle of champagne and a charcuterie board with warm fresh made bread and a handmade card. We highly recommend NYA for anyone staying in Montezuma!"

Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge

"Sunshine Sanctuary in Montezuma, Costa Rica, is an absolute nirvanic paradise. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the beautiful art and decor were a delight. Everything I needed was included in the room: a safe, television, mini fridge, and cold, crisp water. My favorite part of my room was my private balcony, immersed in the jungle and overlooking the ocean; it left me breathless as I took in the beauty and wildlife around me! The highlight of my mornings was the delicious daily breakfast and coffee—the variety of options and fresh, locally sourced ingredients made waking up a delightful experience. The aromatic coffee topped with cinnamon perfectly complemented the scrumptious breakfast, setting the tone for a day filled with exploration and adventure. One of the most memorable experiences was the gorgeous hike to a stunning waterfall. The sanctuary's location amidst lush rainforests provided the perfect backdrop for this awe-inspiring trek. The breathtaking cascade and refreshing pool at the end of the hike were unforgettable, and I cherished every moment of jumping into the pool and connecting with nature's beauty. Another highlight of the sanctuary is Panorama, the open-air bar overlooking the jungle and ocean. It offers a tranquil setting to unwind and relish the picturesque scenery. Sipping refreshing beverages while gazing at the panoramic views was a treat for the senses. Last but certainly not least, the Sunshine Sanctuary has a fantastic hanging bridge. This walking bridge provides a unique vantage point to marvel at the surrounding landscapes overlooking the canopy. Sunshine Sanctuary is an oasis of natural wonders and comforts that exceeded all my expectations. It leaves me eager to return and visit with the kind staff and explore even more of its enchanting offerings. "

Ylang Ylang Beach Resort

"Ylang Ylang was a slice of heaven. Nature, excellent food, friendly service and very clean. We were very comfortable. The yoga teachers were excellent and the pool refreshing, with visiting monkeys, tiger heron and iguanas. We had a little miscommunication about a tour we went on, but they made it right with us right away. I highly recommend Ylang Ylang!!!"

Hotel Aurora

"Do not book this hotel/hostel thru a third party (i.e., *******, airbandb, etc.), especially if it’s charged in afvance. I stayed here with my daughter for a booking for 9 DAYS with ******* and only stayed for two days. Asked nicely for some refund and nope, not even for a day. In addition we were put in the wrong “suite” room. I did contact ******* before and after we checked out to no avail. Main issue, thus the title of this review, is that ******* charged me $79.95 per night for a $65 dollar room (the 4 bed suite, 3 queen, 1 twin) so I overpaid by a lot. And according to ******* I was given a member discount of $179.91. This is obviously a fake savings since that would make the room actually cost $99.94 per night! Currently on beginning stages of taking ******* to small claims court for this. I will admit that I should not have booked a non-refundable room, but I expected some sort of consideration, especially from one of the lowest-rated hotels/hostels in the area. Pros: a/c, minifridge in room, communal kitchen, private bathroom and balcony in suite, and at the center of Montezuma. Staff was nice Cons: no hot water, ants in the room and outside in balcony, construction material in the walkways, hard beds with tiny blankets, no TV, poor wi-fi All in all, we were not happy and left early. Montezuma is a cute little town, just stay somewhere else unless you’re really roughing it or for a night. "

Hotel Nature Lodge Finca Los Caballos

El Sano Banano Beachside Hotel

"The good: the hotel is located a short walk from the beach, right in the middle of the tiny town of Montezuma. Through their sister hotel Ylang Ylang, I booked a fantastic birding tour with eagle-eyed Eduardo. It was inexpensive and included breakfast and air conditioning. The not so good: the mattress was quite hard. I thought there might not be hot water, but it was just very slow. The layout is that there's a hallway with side by side rooms. The room had a window that looked out onto the hallway, but no exterior light. There were also noisy neighbors and there was no sound dampening. You have to ask for the wifi password. I tried to walk down the beach to Ylang Ylang for the pool, and maybe it was just me, but it was much more than a 10 minute walk! There is a shady dirt road, but nobody seemed to know how I could get to it. "

"A beautiful hotel in the heart of Montezuma ♥️ It has a beautiful view to the ocean and is in the middle of stunning nature. The staff is very kind and helpful. There is a little kitchen which was very nice and a television! We couldn’t ask for more!"
