We got in early and were able to check in several hours early at no additional cost. The place felt like a retreat! It was so quiet and relaxing. The place walkable distance to town and the tour we booked. We were pleasantly surprised we had a room with an ocean view. We knew it was steps away but the view took our breath away! The staff on site were so friendly and the breakfast was exactly what I needed (fresh fruits and omelette to order)

What an amazing property with stunning views of the ocean and gardens. A complete “pura vida” vibe. Loveliest place we’ve stayed in Costa Rica. Friendly staff and impeccably clean rooms. Great patio to enjoy outside your room. Breakfast in the mornings served in the restaurant, additional cost- healthy options with lots of fruit, homemade bread, eggs made to your liking. Parking out front of the hotel. Montezuma Waterfalls right across the street which is a great hike. This felt like a retreat, somewhere to decompress and relax. Lots of places to relax on the property, sun loungers, day bed, Adirondack chairs and hammocks. I can’t wait to come back!

It’s more magical than the photos, a lovely place to stay. Staff were very helpful, although reception is limited to daytime hours, so ask questions during the day.

The place is beautiful, the surroundings and the hotel itself are breathtaking. A magnificent garden, ocean views, a rushing river and jungle in the window… each room allows you to contemplate nature from the terrace or balcony. You can see at every turn that someone has put their whole heart into this place. There are plenty of flowers, handmade decorations and the hotel's construction itself is a work of art. I'm so glad we could spend time there.

The art work and decor are original and beautiful. Most of the parking is “street” and the area is business during the day because the trailhead to the waterfalls is across the street. But the waterfalls trail is an overall advantage for the location. Tide pools at lower tides at the property and are worth a dip!

I loved this place. I spent most my time in the garden on a hammock reading or watching the visiting wildlife. We had a daily dip in the rock pools, highly recommended this place. Lots of georgous plants and trees.

This place is a gem! A small hotel on a beautiful, well-kept site by the ocean. The place feels very private and calm although it’s only a short walk away from all the restaurants and other services. Rooms are comfortable and have AC. Breakfast menu had a lot of delicious and fresh options. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough nice things about this place. If you are going to Montezuma, you must stay here. Would definitely come again.
