Amapola - Hotel Amor de Mar, Ocean Front Room - Boutique hotels for Rent in Montezuma, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

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.

Miejsce jest przepiękne, otoczenie i hotel sam w sobie są zapierające dech w piersiach. Wspaniały ogród, widok na ocean, rwąca rzeka i dżungla w oknie… każdy pokój pozwala na kontemplowanie natury z tarasu lub balkonu. Na każdym kroku widać, że ktoś włożył w to miejsce całe swoje serce. Jest mnóstwo kwiatów, ręcznie robionych dekoracji i sama konstrukcja hotelu jest dziełem sztuki. Bardzo się cieszę, że mogliśmy spędzić tam czas.

Best place to stay in Montezuma. So accommodating and helpful!!!

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!

It was perfect for our needs- the place is close to everything. Also have a private yards in front of ocean, we enjoyed the view a lot. The room was cozy and clean. Thank you so much!

We loved Amor de Mar. It is a beautiful and artistically decorated hotel. It is so private and peaceful. I wish we could have stayed for a whole week. Next time!

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.

This is probably one of the best places to stay in Montezuma. It's very private, has a wonderful garden, and is a short walk to the center of town. The room is amazing and has great views. We'd definitely come again soon!

Thank you very much for our stay! The room and the gardens were so well kept and stunning! We were unlucky with the weather but I can only imagine how nice the gardens are in the sun! Easily walkable to the restaurants nearby, would stay again!

Thank you very much Jack for staying with us! We hope you had a great time. Hope to see you in the future! Warm regards from Hotel Amor de Mar team.

This place is amazing!! It’s not too far from town but also hidden in a peaceful & beautiful little sanctuary. If you are visiting Montezuma this is the place to book! The managers are amazing and attentive to anything you may need. The breakfast and coffee are also delicious. And you simply cannot beat the view from the backyard.

A wonderful stay in Montezuma at Amor de Mar. The hotel grounds are beautiful, rooms comfortable and well equipped with everything Montezuma has to offer on your doorstep. Our hosts gave us plenty of recommendations and helped us to book a tour to Isla Tortuga for snorkelling and relaxation on an uninhabited island (not to be missed!). One of my favourite places in Costa Rica and I can't wait to return. Pura Vida

The space was beautiful! The room was clean and had an ocean view. The AC was a welcome relief from the heat and it was a little paradise super close walking distance from downtown Montezuma. I would 100% book this room again, just know that the room is right next to the dining area so it's not isolated from the rest of the hotel. It wasn't bothersome but we needed to keep the blinds closed. Overall, it's a great place to stay.

Svenja and Marlee were very communicative and helpful. They replied to every message and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We had a delayed flight by 12 hours and ended up in Montezuma way earlier than expected. We felt very appreciative that they let us check in early to catch up on some much needed rest. Thank you for an incredible stay! This hotel is just beautiful and the restaurant had great options.

First thing I thought when I saw this hotel was, “wow this would make the perfect wedding location”. Absolutely stunning grounds, like nothing I’ve seen before. Beautiful space. Breakfast was great. Location was perfect. If I could move here I definitely would. Definitely going back!

Beautiful garden to catch sunrise and afternoon siesta

Beautiful hotel, peaceful & scenic. Just outside town enough to feel exclusive and private, with just a 5 minute walk into the centre of montezuma for dinner / drinks. The accommodation was beautiful, lovely breakfasts, beautiful tropical garden with multiple shaded relaxation areas. Staff were lovely, very accommodating if you needed anything. Thank you!

Perfect location - walkable to down and right across from the waterfall entrance. Beautiful grounds and friendly staff. If you don’t need the ADA I would suggest renting one of their other rooms higher up for more privacy. But would 100% come back!

loved the location. property was beautiful and quiet, but really close to the town for food and tours.

Amor de Mar is a gorgeous spot with a beautiful grassy lawn in front of the ocean and a very tasty restaurant and friendly staff. We loved hiking up to the waterfall right across the street!

This is a lovely well designed room in a hotel. The bed was very comfortable and we liked the styling and decor. The room and bathroom are a great size and plenty of storage. It's a fab location and the garden and sea views are probably unmatched in this area. It was fantastic to chill in a hammock and watch pelicans glide by! Only a short walk to nearby restaurants and shops as well and very close to the waterfall. In the other direction you have some lovely beaches to choose from too. The staff are all very friendly and helpful! Only downsides were the room is right by where breakfast is so it's difficult to get a lie in as you can hear everyone in the morning, the fridge in the room is so loud we had to unplug it to sleep. Go surfing while you're in Montezuma, it's brilliant for beginners on playa grande!

This place is heaven. It is such a beautiful spot right on the water, and it is very walkable to shops and beaches. The room was beautiful and clean. We didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this place!

I love this little boutique hotel!  The location is close to everything but also nice and quiet.  The staff was so friendly and helpful. It's a beautiful hotel with quality furnishings and linens.  I can't wait to go back.

Great place! Easy checkin, beautiful location and room. Thankful for the air condition!

Gorgeous place, ocean front. Hammocks all over, 24 hour security and great breakfast. Very happy with our stay!

A true paradise. Ori and his staff were super available even when booking to accommodate our needs. The garden is beautiful and the rooms are very comfortable. Super

Un vero paradiso. Ori e il suo staff sono stati super disponibili anche in fase di prenotazione per accontentare le nostre esigenze. Il giardino è stupendo e le camere molto comode. Super

Great location, we had a great time. The staff is very nice and helpful

Very family accommodation. If you are looking for absolute relaxation and tranquility, this is the case. Direct access to the sea.

Sehr familiäres Unterkunft. Wer nach absoluter Erholung und Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Direkte Zugang zum Meer.

Everything is great here. And very very peaceful. Thank you

Clean, beautiful room, we enjoyed our stay and we had great communication with the host, she even offered a mosquito bed net which was very useful. Much appreciated.

We loved our stay here in Montezuma! The property has beautiful botanical gardens & is very relaxing. The location is right next to the Montezuma Waterfall, which is a plus. It’s also close to downtown and other sodas to eat at. The AC works wonders too, as my husband and I were both chilly in the mornings!

Great place- perfect location and with a beautiful and well-landscaped beachfront area. Short walk to downtown but far enough to be isolated and not hear any of the noise.

We love to visit this place even once a year. It's beautiful , there's a lot of peace and lots of things to know around it too

Nos encanta visitar este lugar aunque sea una vez por año. Es hermoso , hay mucha paz y tambien muchas cosas por conocer a su alrededor

The main selling point and best feature of this hotel was the location. The view overlooking the sea was stunning with lots of quiet places to relax and chill in the shade or the sun. It was directly opposite the start of the walk to the Montezuma waterfall, so you could literally go straight out of the hotel and start the trail. It was also within a good walking distance to the town with restaurants - good thing as there was no food on site bar breakfast (not included in costs) and no where to store or make own food. The only watch out was none of the windows locked and could easily be opened from outside the room, which didn’t make us feel comfortable leaving our stuff in the room.

Oh this was just so beautiful, I absolutely will be back one day and I will be telling everyone I know who even considers Costa Rica somewhere they may visit one day that they must come here! What an incredible location, exactly as described except possibly even better! The room was very clean and comfy, the bathroom was super nice too! Someone in the room before me had complained that the mini fridge was too loud, which personally I did not notice or take issue with, but the staff were super considerate and checked with me to make sure I was comfortable and content with it which I just think is above and beyond! You absolutely must come stay at Ori’s place!!

Beautiful property in a great location. You can walk to many beaches, restaurants, shops, etc. but you are away from the noise of central Montezuma. The gardens are gorgeous, and the tide pool was fun to swim in. Breakfast was delicious. Staff is very friendly. If you are not a very early riser, I would suggest either booking a room on the second floor or bringing ear plugs; at 5:45 both mornings I heard the guest above me walking around heavily, and the dining area being prepared. Other than that, my stay was perfect.

Such a beautiful place!  I loved everything about it!

They were amazing hosts, nice people and always willing to help. Will definitely come back !

A beautiful guesthouse right on the sea. The whole complex is lovingly designed, the breakfast very good. The location is excellent: private but in the immediate vicinity to the center of Montezuma. The hosts are very warm and make you feel right welcome.

Eine wunderschöne Pension direkt am Meer. Die ganze Anlage ist liebevoll gestaltet, das Frühstück sehr gut. Die Lage ist hervorragend: privat aber in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Zentrum von Montezuma. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und man fühlt sich direkt willkommen.

The room was beautiful, right on the water and across from the montezuma waterfalls. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the peaceful montezuma area!

Great place and lovely people. The garden is amazing and we could have stay there all day

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

Absolutely wonderful stay and such gorgeous views from our room!

The place was beautiful. Shower was nice. Make sure you get the correct address as we needed up at the wrong location following the gps points

Beautiful little hotel with beautiful garden. The rooms and the entire hotel are designed with a lot of love for detail. We enjoyed it very much! Unfortunately, our bed was far too small for two adults. Our next were therefore not very relaxing.

Wunderschönes kleines Hotel mit wunderschönem Garten. Die Zimmer und das gesamte Hotel sind mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Leider war unser Bett viel zu klein für zwei Erwachsene eher ungeeignet. Unsere nächste waren daher nicht sehr erholsam.

Great location in Montezuma - right across the street from the entrance for Montezuma waterfall hiking trail

This place is a GEM! The staff is so friendly, the breakfast is great, and the location is unbeatable. We felt like we were in paradise.

Beautiful location and nice hotel but we did have one issue.  The hot water turned cold after about a minute and never came back, so that was incredibly frustrating, especially after being caught in a cold downpour earlier. They moved us to another room that did have hot water, but had to move us back to our original room.  Although they assured us that they fixed the hot water issue, it still turned off after about 1 minute.  We were told nobody else complained, and we were made to feel as though we were being difficult. Though, for the price of the room, I felt that we at least deserved hot or at least warm water for our showers.

We are so sorry for the hot water issue you experienced while you were here.  We definitely tried to accomodate you as best we could while we troubleshooted this issue.  I know it's a bit late, but we have now fixed the root cause and appreciate your honesty and patience with us.

Great place to stay! We didn't leave the hotel grounds as they are beautiful with nice tide pools and beautiful scenery.

Incredible hotel and property near the surf, with very clean room and helpful staff that exceeded our expectations.  Communication and check-in/out was easy.  Coffee and breakfast were great, and it has a very convenient location for hiking to Montezuma Falls or walking to a magical dinner at Playa de los Artistas. (highly recommended)  We had a great stay and will book this for our next visit.  Room #7 is closer to the dining area and if you are looking for a secluded/intimate outdoor sitting area off your room you might explore some of the other highly rated options at this magical place.

After staying in a few not so great places days prior this place was a great relief. We loved the grounds, room and little dining area. Wish we would have found this place sooner as we would have stayed more night.  Will definitely stay here next time we’re in Montezuma
