Paradise! I felt like a local living in a luxury but still very traditional and authentic place. You can tell the love that was put into this hotel. All the details were beautiful, the decor. the atmosphere... I can't say enough. the staff was so nice, Ori took care of my airport pick up and reception took care of me when I left. I had a relaxing 3 nights. it rained one evening and the power went out for like an hour or so... but even that was magical. I sat on my private balcony and just watched the rain disconnected and peaceful. breakfast was yummy too! Will stay again and will recommend.

Our stay at Hotel Amor De Mar was absolutely lovely! The room was cozy,  clean and charming. The view of the ocean from our porch was stunning. Very grateful for such a sweet stay and will definitely be returning!

A very nice hotel with an excellent view.

I can only highly recommend the Oris Hotel: a magical place with a beautifully maintained garden area right by the sea, spotlessly clean, charming rooms with cozy balconies that also overlook the sea, palm trees, colorful plants – a tropical dream! The air conditioning has served us well. You also absolutely must not miss the varied breakfast! If you're coming to Montezuma, you've found the perfect place with Oris Hotel!

Oris Hotel kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen: ein zauberhafter Ort mit sehr gepflegter Gartenanlage direkt am Meer, dass blitzsaubere, charmante Zimmer mit gemütlichem Balkon und ebenfalls Blick aufs Meer, Palmen, bunte Pflanzen - ein tropischer Traum! Die Klimaanlage hat uns gute Dienste erwiesen. Auch das vielfältige Frühstück darf man keinesfalls verpassen! Wer nach Montezuma kommt hat mit Oris Hotel den perfekten Ort gefunden!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and throughly enjoyed the room and hotel staff. They were friendly and the environment held up to the “Pura Vida” vibe we were looking for.

Amazing room! Amazing people! Better then the pictures! Highly recommended! A real paradise!

The accommodation is as described in every way, and we were even pleasantly surprised when we arrived because we found it even prettier than in the photo! Peaceful, breakfast is very good, and it's really at the foot of a small swimming beach, and just across the street from an excellent restaurant :) Loved our stay here!

Le logement correspond en tout point à la description, et nous avons même été agréablement surprise en arrivant car nous trouvions ça encore plus joli qu'en photo ! Paisible, le petit déjeuner est très bon, et c'est vraiment au pied d'une petite plage baignable, et juste en face d'un restaurant excellent :) Nous avons adoré notre séjour ici !

everything was perfect. the room is beautiful with a great view of the ocean & sunrise.

Amazing views and gorgeous accommodations overall. Highly recommend.

Amor de Mar is such a beautiful and peaceful location. Exceptional views of the ocean, beautiful grounds, and sounds of crashing waves. The place has so much character and charm as well. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Easy walk to Montezuma to explore there. Would recommend!!!!

Such a cozy, homey place. Right on the ocean, beautiful plants and design. We saw monkeys while parking our car! Healthy home cooked breakfast option daily. Karina made us feel so welcome and gave us tons of recommendations of things to do. Would definitely come back :)

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the oceanfront setting, the gardens, and those playful monkeys. It’s wonderful to hear you felt at home. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime!

Very friendly staff, very helpful! The location was beautiful. Also the homemade bread was delicious at breakfast! Highly recommended!

Heel vriendelijk personeel, erg behulpzaam! De locatie was prachtig. Ook was het huisgemaakte brood heerlijk bij het ontbijt! Zeker een aanrader!

Hotel Amor de Mar was the last leg of our Costa Rica trip. The hotel and grounds were absolutely beautiful and the staff very welcoming, helpful and communicative both in person and through chat. The location is great, just a short walk to town with restaurants, super, shops and beach easily accessible. Naomi was so great helping us with recommendations and connecting us with Spicy Tuna for an affordable fishing trip. We had so much fun and caught tons of yellowfin. Everyone at the hotel including Fabiola was kind and happy to help. Don’t skip the breakfast - everything is amazing. If you want to experience Montezuma I’d highly recommend Hotel Amor de Mar. Pura Vida!

Ben, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the last leg of your Costa Rica trip with us at Hotel Amor de Mar. It makes us very happy to know you appreciated the beauty of the grounds, the convenient location, and especially the service from our team. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We hope Montezuma and Hotel Amor de Mar, will always feel like a welcoming home for you. ¡Pura Vida! The Hotel Amor de Mar Team

They have an amazing place and the daughter and other staff member where so nice. The view was incredible and there are alot of places that you can chill with the amazing view. They were also very honesy about their constructions and even made a compensation right away for it. Their cat Honey is super funny and sweet too. Thank you for the nice stay☺️

Had a wonderful stay the view was amazing, room was very clean and the location was perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying on montezuma.

We only stayed one night but would have liked to have been there longer. We hiked around in the Cabo Blanco nature reserve and stopped at the Indigenous chocolate place. The town of Montezuma was a short walk from our location and the waterfall right across the street. It's definitely a good location. We enjoyed the local artwork and the pretty front yard to the ocean.   The room was small but had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.

This is such a beautiful and romantic boutique hotel in the lovely Montezuma. It’s right on the water which makes the view pristine. Svenja was a wonderful host and concierge that helped us coordinate transportation via ATV. Getting an ATV is highly recommended so you can drive around to Santa Teresa, Mal Pais, Cabuya, and Cabo Blanco National Park. We had such great adventures on our 4 days in Montezuma we wish we stayed a few more nights!

Great little bed and breakfast in montezuma! Our room had a balcony with an amazing view of the ocean! We also ate breakfast downstairs which was really good! If you speak English, this place is great because most of the staff also speaks fluent English in addition to Spanish. Such a beautiful property with an amazing waterfall hike right behind.

Absolutely love this place and highly recommend to anyone! There's been so much love put into the hotel - from the fresh baked bread to all the decor. Book it!

It was a great place with beautiful surroundings and relaxing. It was nice having a restaurant downstairs to order breakfast and amazing coffee. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. It was stressful dealing with our rental car being broken into on our first night, but the hotel grounds were great while we were waiting to get a rental car replacement all day. There are some restaurants and shops about 10 minutes walk away, but a lot of restaurants and services were closed due to winter period. The summer season starts in 2 weeks. Overall it was a great stay minus the car break in. We were lucky I guess they didn’t manage to steal the car. I would definitely come here again without a rental car.

The most beautiful location. The property is so well maintained. Very close to the Montezuma strip. Tons of restaurants/supermercados. The entrance to the waterfalls is literally across from the front door. Bring some colones because you do have to pay to see the upper falls. My fiancé worked with the host to set a up a little birthday surprise for me. 10/10 romantic spot 10/10 location

Amazing stay! If you are going to Montezuma this is your place. Above expectations. The view alone is worth it.  I laid in the hammock, and watched the sunrise over the ocean. Gorgeous! Had a couple of monkeys stop by my balcony to welcome me in…that was awesome. lol.  Montezuma waterfall is literally across the street. Not too long of a hike at all. There is a great little restaurant about 200 m down the street that serves amazing food. (Great recommendation from the front desk.) There is a guard on duty on night which is nice. Overall, I would give it 10 stars if I could.

My partner and I had a magical stay at Amor de Mar. Honestly the pictures don’t do the place justice. Our favourite part was the outside field that goes directly into the ocean. Its a very wide space with grass, several hammocks, deck chairs, an outside shower and a natural tide pool. We saw many animals as well (monkeys, iguanas and squirrels). The room had a private balcony with an amazing view on the trees and the ocean. The staff is also extremely kind and welcoming, they helped us book tours and gave us useful tips on restaurants and transportation for our next stop. The place is special, I would definitely go back!

🌺Beautiful ocean views, warm friendly  staff , gorgeous intricate decorating &  delicious breakfast 🌺

Our stay at Amor de Mar was magical!  The hotel itself is so beautiful…a work of art, really. Cafe is such a special place with intricate art on the columns and colorful tile accents. Food:coffee was delicious. The grounds are lush and welcoming with hammocks/lounge chairs. The sun rise over the ocean was breathtaking. Our room (Orchid) had a lovely balcony which became our peaceful oasis every evening. Staff is on premises daily and very helpful.  We did a Zuma snorkeling tour which we’d recommend. And Soda de Los Palmieras was good. And Butterfly Brewing was nice also. We visited in early June. Hiked the waterfall across the street. Also hiked Cabo Blanco nature preserve which was interesting.  Both were nice but super hot/humid for us senior citizens (60 yo). We walked along the coast to Playa Grande which was lovely. And we drove to the Cholla waterfall for the short hike. It was muddy and buggy but really pretty once you reached the falls and the beach. Loved our stay so much!

We loved our stay! Our room was romantic and perfect for watching the sunrise!

We loved the service, lunch, the tranquility of the garden, the balcony of the room, the proximity to the falls and the village. Montezuma was not a favorite for us (bohemian style and not very stylish). The bathroom and fridge seemed to be from another time, a little modernization would be a nice addition to this place.

Nous avons bcp aimé le service, le déjeuner, la tranquillité du jardin, le balcon de la chambre, la proximité des chutes et du village. Montezuma n’a pas été un coup de cœur pour nous (style bohème et peu stylé). La salle de bain et le frigo semblaient dater d’une autre époque, un peu de modernisation serait un bel ajout à cet endroit.

Hotel Amor de Mar is the perfect private & peaceful getaway in Montezuma. It was clean, tidy and spacious. The balcony was absolutely perfect and the view of the sunrise was breathtaking. I would highly recommend staying here. It felt very tranquil and romantic! Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely time at Amor Del Mar. you can’t beat the view, the breakfast, the walk ability to town (which is small and cute), and overall so relaxing. Our private deck was spectacular.

Beautiful location right on the ocean. Very close to montezuma. We enjoyed the food and coffee. A very professional staff. Would stay again!

Beautiful ocean view, convenient location in front of the entrance to the waterfall.

Hermosa vista al mar, conveniente ubicación frente al ingreso a la catarata.

We stayed at Amor de Mar for the second time - such a peaceful place. In just some minutes, you're in downtown, but you can also have a relaxed day at Playa Las Manchas or hike to the waterfall. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Amor de Mar- its a beautiful hotel on the water with lots of lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the ocean, birds, and monkeys. Our room was beautiful and we especially enjoyed our balcony which looked out over the sea. The breakfast was delicious and we loved swimming in the tide pool. This is a great location just outside of the main drag of Montezuma- quiet, but close to everything. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at the Hotel Amor de Mar. The room is very nicely decorated and the view from the balcony to the sea is fantastic. The garden with loungers and hammocks is super nice and invites you to linger!

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit im Hotel Amor de Mar. Das Zimmer ist sehr schön eingerichtet und der Blick vom Balkon aufs Meer ist traumhaft. Der Garten mit Liegen und Hängematten ist super schön und lädt sehr zum Verweilen ein!

Beautiful grounds, beautiful service, beautiful food, beautiful stay! 100% would come back!

it was like in paradise, the house was fantastic, thank you natalie

es war wie im paradis, das haus war traumhaft, danke natalie

Fantastic as always!   Great place.   Nice new menu.   Will return again and again!

Good place overall. A bit buggy though, even by Costa Rican standards. And the lighting is a bit dim. But the place is absolutely beautiful, inside and out.

Great service, the room is very nice and clean. Just keep in mind that there are only 2 parking lots but you can park on the street

Gran servicio, la habitación está muy bonita y limpia. Únicamente hay que tener en cuenta que solo hay 2 parqueos pero se puede estacionar en la calle

Amazing place, right on the ocean. We had a great time.

It was a great spot for a night as we travelled through the Nicoya peninsula! Great spot on the ocean.

A beautiful stay by the sea!  Fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves.  Calming and serene, perfectly located in Montezuma, this is a gem and hospitality is incredible.  We enjoyed breakfast every morning, and felt very safe our entire stay.

Amazing view! Could listen to the waves all day.  Strong ac, and comfortable room. Amazing breakfast as well, could not complain.

Super beautiful place with its own balconies, a very nicely landscaped garden and a 24h security service. Your own "restaurant" is also worthwhile for breakfast.

Super schöne Unterkunft mit eigenen Balkonen, einem sehr schön angelegtem Garten und einem 24h Sicherheitsdienst. Das eigene „Restaurant“ ist fürs Frühstück ebenfalls lohnenswert.

This place is amazing. I love the Costa Rican design. It’s right next to the hike for the waterfalls. Which are spectacular. It’s a must do. The hotel also has a tide pool you can swim in, which was great! Close walk to the town for great restaurants and bars. The hotel breakfast is amazing! I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely gorgeous hotel with a view that beguiles. I felt as though I was in paradise! Furthermore it was very safe as there was an overnight security guard present. I will definitely be returning to the same hotel next time I’m in town. Thank you for the most lovely experience.

What an AMAZING place! The location is unparalleled. The rooms are beautiful, we loved the beach front view. You can walk to the town and right across the street is the waterfall. Highly recommend! No complaints!

Amazing spot! Loved having the waterfall access across the road! Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Loved our beautiful view as well.

This place is so beautiful! We loved our stay - Perfect location, sweet space, friendly and helpful host! Highly recommend!

Woke up to beautiful views from our balcony. The hotel is in an amazing location, right on the beach and across from the falls. The staff are warm and helpful.

We loved this place so much. The view is absolutely amazing and everyone who works there is so sweet. Other people wrote the breakfast was overpriced / not worth it but even after stopping in three different places this has been one of our favorite places for breakfast.. def recommend coming!

Absolutely loved this place. Walking distance to town but just far enough to not hear any late night noise. When I asked for referrals on how to get to and from, they arranged everything for me. The room was super cozy, bathroom very clean and pretty, and the balcony overlooking the ocean was amazing. When I come back I hope to stay here again!

The highlight of our week-long Costa Rica trip. The building and grounds are stunning and unique, and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Highly recommend, and hope to go back soon!

Wow wow wow! We are totally in love with Amor de Mar :) location was spectacular for waterfall hikes and ocean views! Food was superb! Bed cozy! I could go on forever …

Very nice and peaceful hotel right by the water,  falling asleep to the sound of the waves is nice.   Convenient breakfast (not included), was good.   I enjoyed the small river next to the property for taking a dip.   Beautiful grounds and many nice places to hang out and read or relax.   Pura vida indeed.   Also steps away from the waterfall trailhead, and a couple very good restaurants close by.   Walking distance to town.   Room was well equipped and clean.  All good!

Absolutely loved this place 🙏🏽🙏🏽

We love Hotel Amor de Mar! It was pouring rain and we arrived late but there was security there to help us check in. We slept so peacefully in the bed to the sounds of the river, ocean, and rain. My dog enjoyed the stay as well! Breakfast was delicious. My husband was able to work… the WiFi connection was very good. I enjoyed walking my dog around the grounds and onto the rocks. We want to come back! Thank you for having us! :)

We stayed in room number 1, which was literal paradise. The hotel itself is a quiet little part of town that's a short walk to the main street. It's also conveniently located right across the street from the waterfall trail head, which was really cool. The staff was super helpful and booked several activities for us stress free. The breakfast each morning is super delicious as well. Nothing better than having a cup of coffee listening to the sound of the waves. Friendly people, beautiful views and Montezuma is incredible. Can't recommend this place enough!

Once again we will rave about this amazing piece of paradise. We adore Amor de Mar and the family environment that has been fostered here.  The rooms are so comfortable and welcoming and the grounds are lovely. We spent relaxing days just staring at the sea and then going out and exploring the lagoon. We will always return!

BEAUTIFUL place!! The balcony is stunning to sit and admire the view. The property itself is nice and spacious and really close to town. Highly recommend!

The accommodation is super cozy and the garden is beautiful. There are plenty of opportunities to settle in the garden and enjoy the view of the sea. Definitely worth a recommendation.

Die Unterkunft ist super gemütlich eingerichtet und der Garten ist wunderschön. Es existieren ausreichend Möglichkeiten sich im Garten nieder zu lassen und den Blick auf das Meer zu genießen. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert.

Beautiful views and landscaping. Adorable friendly cats. Great location.

Staying here is like staying in paradise. The room overlooks the gorgeous coastline and hotel garden which has ample seating and hammocks for all your relaxing needs. Breakfast was delicious and staff was very accommodating. Only a short walk into the main town. Highly recommend!

What an amazing place. Beautiful views, great staff, and such a nice/quiet place to relax. The place was stunning!

Amor del Mar is absolutely stunning. Room number 1 has its own private balcony with an incredible view of the lush grounds and ocean beyond. Staying there was pure bliss. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom large and well appointed, and the hotel employees (especially Ammi) were lovely to work with. I would love to return someday!

Excellent location and vert hospitable staff. We enjoyed our stay and everything was perfect except for the smell in our second room which might have come from a dead animal in the plumming/drain. Things can happen in rural areas with such amazing wildlife. The staff and owners handled it very well and gave us 1 night off. We will be back for sure.
