Studio in Montezuma

Garden Heights Studio at Taru Rentals

Very happy, just what we needed, a quiet place for the family. We only stayed one day, but I would definitely come back.

Muy contenta, justo lo que necesitábamos, un lugar tranquilo para la familia, sólo nos hospedamos un día, pero volvería sin lugar a duda.

Great! We were supposed to stay 3 nights and we extended by one (if we could have, we would have stayed even longer!) It's a haven of peace that made us want to come back! There's everything you need in this small studio. The pool is in the middle of the jungle with ping-pong and billiards available, and even a gym with everything you need for a good workout. A beautiful road starts 30 minutes from Santa Teresa, and the lively center of Montezuma is 3 minutes away.

Génial! Nous devions rester 3 nuits et nous avons prolongé d’une (si on avait pu on serai resté encore plus longtemps!) C’est un havre de paix qui nous a donné envie d’y revenir! Il y a tout ce qu’il faut dans ce petit studio. La piscine est en plein jungle avec ping-pong et billard à disposition et même une salle de sport avec tout ce qu’il faut pour une bonne séance. À 30 min de Santa Teresa part une belle route et le centre vivant de Montezuma a 3 min.

It's just like the photos, super nice. The pool is beautiful. We enjoyed it a lot. The studio has everything you need. It's very nice, clean and has everything you need. Overall, it's a beautiful place surrounded by nature, quite close to downtown Montezuma and its beaches. We hope to return soon🙏

Es tal cual las fotos super bonito, la piscina es hermosa la disfrutamos mucho, el estudio tiene todo lo necesario es muy lindo, limpio y cuenta con todo lo necesario. En general es un lugar precioso rodeado de naturaleza bastante cerca del centro de montezuma y sus playas esperamos volver pronto🙏

We loved the clean lines, and wood details.

Everything was wonderful. The bed was super comfortable and the hosts were very friendly. I had a question about the hot water and they immediately helped me, and I was able to use it. I would like to point out that the weather conditions were very difficult, and my partner and I were traveling by motorcycle, so we needed to wait a bit for the bad weather to pass. The hosts were very friendly when we asked if we could wait a little longer for the rain to stop, and they helped us and allowed us to wait. Very nice place, excellent services, and everything is very clean. I highly recommend it.

Todo fue maravilloso, la cama súper cómoda y los anfitriones muy amables, tuve duda sobre el agua caliente y de inmediato me ayudaron y pude utilizarla. Me gustaría resaltar que las condiciones climáticas fueron muy difíciles y con mi pareja andábamos en moto por lo que necesitábamos esperar un poco que pasara el mal tiempo, los anfitriones de manera muy amable al consultar sobre las posibilidad de que esperamos un poco más para que dejara de llover nos ayudaron y permitieron que esperáramos. Muy agradable el lugar, los servicios excelentes y todo muy limpio. Lo recomiendo bastante

This place is a hidden paradise. It was awesome and the host was so nice and responsive and helpful! Great vibes all around!!!

What a treasure this stay was! So much we stayed 2 nites.. once we got there we fell in love with the property, the people and the surrounding area! My gosh we would stay forever!!!

Excellent location. Just enough seccluded

Very nice place, the pool and the rooms are great.

Muy bonito lugar, la piscina súper y las habitaciones

Beautifully oasis just above the village of Montezuma. The interior of the villa was immaculate. The space was very well designed, and felt so luxurious. The hosts were on site; they were very kind and welcoming. Madilyn was a great communicator and dropped by the pool to say hello. Strongly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy being in nature and take in the beauty of the area

We really enjoyed dealing with Maddie- she was a delight. You have a magical environment!

We loved our stay in the Garden Suite. Comfortable open space with king size bed. Big windows and great covered deck looking out onto greenery with a glimpse of the ocean. Well designed space and spacious bathroom and kitchen. Close to Montezuma but just far away enough to be very tranquil and private. Its a steep hill down to town so would be quite the walk, not far but steep. The new pool area is awesome and there are walking trails right on the property where we saw monkeys and many birds. Great experience overall and would stay again.

The accommodation was very comfortable, the environment in nature very pleasant. Beautiful infinity pool with covered terrace. On the other hand, we suffered throughout the stay from a terrible foul smell coming from the sewers of the shower that the employees only managed to make disappear very temporarily after each cleaning. For your information, it takes minutes to walk by the road to Montezuma with an elevation of about 200m.

le logement était très confortable, l'environnement dans la nature très agréable. Superbe piscine a débordement avec terrasse  couverte.Par contre nous avons souffert durant tout le séjour d'une terrible odeur nauséabonde provenant des égouts de la douche que les employés n'ont réussi à faire disparaitre que très temporairement après chaque nettoyage. Pour information, il faut minutes à pied au bord de la route pour aller à Montezuma avec un dénivelé d'environ 200m.

Beautiful scenery on the property, loved the porch and view. Comfortable and close to town and the beach.

Enchanting place surrounded by the tropical jungle of Montezuma 🌴 Clean room equipped with everything you need, spacious bathroom, comfortable bed. Waking up in the morning and drinking a cup of coffee with the sounds and colors of the jungle was regenerating ✨ Up to the entrance of the property the road is uphill but paved, by car it was absolutely no problem. For us who booked a few months in advance, it was a nice surprise to find a wonderful pool as well!

Luogo incantevole e immerso nella giungla tropicale di Montezuma 🌴 Camera pulita e dotata di ogni necessità, bagno spazioso, letto comodo. Svegliarsi la mattina e bere una tazza di caffè con i suoni e i colori della giungla è stato rigenerante ✨ Fino all’ingresso della struttura la strada è in salita ma asfaltata, in auto non è stato assolutamente un problema. Per noi che abbiamo prenotato con qualche mese in anticipo, è stata una bella sorpresa trovare anche una stupenda piscina!

I only stayed for one night, but it was such a cozy and beautiful space. The design and atmosphere were so inviting, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Everything was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully prepared. I wish I could’ve stayed longer! Highly recommend for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

AMAZING stay! Highly recommend. This was one of my favourite Airbnb stays! The photos look nice and the place is even better in person! The room was spacious, clean, comfortable King bed, storage and full kitchen necessities. Loved the front deck and the big windows giving to a stunning jungle view! We were highly impressed by the gym and yoga deck WOW! The gym had all kinds of props and great machines. Hosts were amazing with responsiveness, answer my questions and giving suggestions. We loved the recommendation to watch the sunrise from an abandoned pool at the end of one of the hiking trails! It was magical! Thank you!

Excellent place, great attention and comfort . We would stay there again

Excelente lugar, gran atención y comodidad . Volveríamos a quedarnos allí

Absolutely a recommendation to stay. The studio is in the middle of the jungle and you can see the monkeys and birds from your balcony. You have a lot of privacy and the interior is modern. The bed is spacious and comfortable so we slept wonderfully. If you have any questions, you got a response within a minute, which was really easy. The gym is nice with good equipment so we used it a few times even though the AC was broken. You can walk to the beach, but the road is very steep so not recommended. In the kitchen you have a detached electric stove and this is inconvenient. Cooking takes a long time and you have little space. Too bad, because the rest of the kitchen is complete. The temperature control of the shower and kitchen faucet could be improved. It's very hot or cold. Water pressure is good though. In addition, keep in mind that you are in nature and ants and other insects come in. We had booked 5 nights and stayed 7 nights. We will be back!

Absoluut een aanrader om te verblijven. De studio staat midden in de jungle en je kunt de apen en vogels vanaf je balkon zien. Je hebt veel privacy en het interieur is modern. Het bed is ruim en comfortabel dus we hebben heerlijk geslapen. Bij vragen kreeg je binnen een minuut een reactie, dat was echt heel makkelijk. De gym is mooi met goede apparatuur dus daar hebben we een paar keer gebruik van gemaakt ook al was de AC kapot. Naar het strand kan je lopen maar de weg is wel erg steil dus niet aan te raden. In de keuken heb je een losstaand elektrisch kookstelletje en dit is onhandig. Het koken duurt lang en je hebt weinig ruimte. Jammer, want de rest van de keuken is volledig. De temperatuur regeling van de douche en keukenkraan kan worden verbeterd. Het is namelijk heel heet of koud. Waterdruk is wel goed. Daarnaast moet je rekening houden dat je in de natuur zit en mieren en andere insecten binnen komen. We hadden 5 nachten geboekt en zijn 7 nachten gebleven. We komen terug!

Very nice place, my man and I loved staying in this place. We arrived in the evening by bus it is a bit complicated to find the wooden structure at night. The birds chirping in the morning, which wakes up quietly. Taru's dogs are so nice they accompany us to see the monkeys on the trails.

Très beau logement, mon homme et moi avons adoré séjourné dans ce logement. Nous sommes arriver le soir en bus c’est un peu compliquer de trouver la nuit la structure en bois. Le chant des oiseaux le matin, qui réveil tranquillement. Les chiens de Taru sont tellement gentils ils nous on accompagners voir les singes sur les sentiers.

I love staying at Taru every time I visit Costa Rica

Peaceful and serene stay! Spotless anemities and overall chill space but the price is a bit much. For two days.

This is my second time in Tarú and I would come back again. It's a private, comfortable and beautiful place.

Es mi segunda vez en Tarú y volvería nuevamente. Es un lugar privado, cómodo y hermoso.

Overall great experience. The apartment was clean, and everything looked exactly like the photos. No weird disturbances/noises at night so we slept peacefully. Compared to the state of other roads in the area, this location doesn't need 4x4 or anything similar to get to it or to move around.

The apartment is located in a great area, with fresh mangos right behind it and seeing monkeys on the property. It’s a long walk to town up/down a steep hill, so really need to have a car. Overall, the place looks nice but needs proper maintenance and cleaning. there are many holes in walls, countertop, etc. We had an army of ants eat our food the first night that we had to then throw out. The shower temperature cannot be controlled, going from cold to scorching hot and nothing in the middle and comfortable. We were informed late evening of a full day power outage on the whole peninsula the next day, adjusted our plans, and then it turned out it didn’t happen. Suspect it was required for electrical work on the property but it was being blamed on the power company. Overall disappointing to communicate this so poorly. Directions to the place are really hard to follow and confusing. A map or photos would help. Locker didn’t work (no batteries) but we got a key for it after a day.

I recommend Taru highly, our visit to Montezuma was enhanced because we had this wonderful welcoming beautiful place to come home to after a day of fun-filled activities, just sitting on the porch was a treat, many thanks.

The space was amazing and beautiful.  Cleanliness was top of mind. The small terrace is lovely. The bed is large and comfortable.  Hosts are responsive. I highly recommend this place that was our favorite during our stay in Costa Rica.

Le logement était incroyable et très beau.  La propreté était au rendez-vous. La petite terrasse est très agréable. Le lit est grand et confortable.  Les hôtes sont réactifs. Je recommande très fortement ce logement qui a été notre coup de coeur pendant notre séjour au Costa Rica.

Great place, modern, clean and great location - just a short walk from Montezuma

The accommodation offered is very comfortable, well-equipped, clean. We were able to enjoy the forest trails and see the majority of the animals in the area; birds, howler monkeys, agoutis and butterflies. The village of Montézuma with its great beach is a few minutes away by car, it's the same thing to go to the waterfall. It's more of a small cottage rental complex than a real Airb and b as we usually hear. I would recommend without hesitation!

Le logement offert est très confortable  bien équipé, propre. Nous avons pu profiter des sentiers en forêt et voir la majorité des animaux présents dans le coin; oiseaux, singes hurleurs, agoutis et papillons. Le village de Montézuma avec sa superbre plage est à quelques minutes en auto, c'est la même chose pour aller à la cascade. Il s'agit plus d'un petit complexe de locations de chalets qu'un vrai Airb and b comme on l'entend généralement. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation !

I recommend this place 10/10, it is much nicer than the photos. It is a modern studio, the King bed too comfortable. My boyfriend and I loved that I had a mini room to be inside the studio. Additionally, the balcony had a wooden deck that served me to meditate on those days and had quite comfortable armchairs with a table that served for breakfast or just staying to see nature. The kitchen complied, it has all the necessary basics. Nothing else to note that it is a mini-refri, then a large supermarket does not enter. But for us that wasn't a problem because we were going with the idea of making several meals in the restaurants in the area. My only recommendation is that it would be good to add a microwave :) Santa Teresa is located 45 minutes from the accommodation, we were able to go almost every day since the street is in very good condition. We went with a low cart and managed to come and go without a problem, as well as entering the property.

Recomiendo este lugar 10/10, es mucho más bonito que las fotos. Es un estudio moderno, la cama King demasiado cómoda. A mi novio y a mi nos encantó que tenía una mini salita de estar dentro del estudio. Adicional, el balcón tenía un deck de madera que me sirvió para meditar en esos días y tenía unos sillones bastante cómodos con una mesita que servía para desayunar o simplemente quedarse para ver la naturaleza. La cocina cumplió, tiene todo lo básico necesario. Nada más hay que tomar en cuenta que es una mini-refri, entonces un supermercado grande no entra. Pero para nosotros eso no fue problema porque íbamos con la idea de hacer varias comidas en los restaurantes de la zona. Mi única recomendación es que sería bueno agregar un microondas :) Santa Teresa se encuentra a 45 minutos del alojamiento, pudimos ir casi todos los días ya que la calle se encuentra en muy buen estado. Fuimos con un carro bajo y logramos ir y venir sin problema, al igual que ingresar a la propiedad.

This was our favorite stay in all of Costa Rica, what a wonderful spot so close to the magical town of Montezuma! We walked the trails which were a bit challenging but we enjoyed because we saw so much wild life and were alone in the jungle. I wish we stayed here longer as there was so much to do and such beautiful beaches and people right around it. Highly recommend, thank you Taru! Pura Vida <3

It was even more beautiful than the pictures made it look good! The views are beautiful, we were able to see a lot of animals and even monkeys from our balcony. Perfect place for a romantic stay! Poorly insulated space that allowed a few insects to come in.

C’était encore plus beau que sur les photos! La vue est magnifique, on a pu voir beaucoup d’animaux et mêmes des singes de sur notre balcon. Logement parfait pour un séjour romantique! Logement mal isolée qui laissait toutefois entrer quelques insectes.

I really enjoyed staying here.  It was very private and comfortable.  The bed was big and super comfy.  Would stay again!

We had a little trouble finding it because it's a bit far from the way. Once you arrived, everything was perfect. Cleanliness, location, view, installation. A few mosquitoes were waiting for you. I would go back in hesitation and would not be afraid to advise a friend to go there. The only downside for people looking to party is a bit far from the city.

Nous avons eu un peu de difficulté à trouver car c’est un peu éloigné du chemin. Une fois arrivé tout était parfait. Propreté, lieu, vue, installation. Quelques moustiques étaient au rendez vous. J’y retournerais dans hésiter et je n’aurait pas peur de conseiller une amie de s’y rendre. Le seul bémol pour les gens qui cherchent à faire la fête, c’est un peu éloigné de la ville.

First of all  it’s easy to drive past the entrance. The instruction are very helpful but still hard to find. We ended up at the neighbors at first. A clear road sign would really help. The grounds are very beautiful with lots of privacy flora and fauna. The place looks beautiful in all. There is a super nice bed waiting for you there. Have fun.

Beautiful place. We stayed in the tree house and one of the cabins. It was amazing to wake up with howler moneys out our window in the tree house and the cabin was very comfortable and cozy. Clean, well decorated and friendly hosts.

My husband and I had a lovely time. the surroundings are peaceful, I even had a humming bird fly around my head on the deck one morning. Amazing to have 6km of trails on the property itself. Stunning views of the forest canopy and ocean. It was about a 15 minute walk down into Montezuma but would recommend driving as parking is quite easy and the walk is very steep with blind corners. Apartment was very well equipped. we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend Taru Vacation Rentals.

This is our second time at Taru. And it was a wonderful experience second time around. So glad to come back to this peaceful and well designed home away from home. The room had everything we needed. Great kitchen where we made amazing breakfasts, super comfortable king size bed. Great lounging areas on couch and chairs on the porch. Clean and comfortable bathrooms. It was magical to hear the forest upon awakening. Definitely my favorite Airbnb. I love the minimalist simple and calm esthetic, it seems that every detail was well designed and executed.

Excellent beautiful quality place with privacy, definitely recommend.

מקום מצוין איכותי יפה עם פרטיות, בהחלט ממליץ.

beautiful place in the jungle. great views of the ocean and we loved hearing the sounds of monkeys . absolutely loved this place and would highly reccommend to anyone and everyone. hot/cold water . wifi was good for remote work. the bed was very comfy and the room was very spacious. we absolutely loved drinking a cup of coffee in the morning while looking at the jungle/ocean and hearing birds. I would definitely come back

The stay was absolutely stunning!! The view was beautiful, better than the pictures, and the actual Airbnb was stylish and came with all the basics (cookware, salt&pepper, soap, etc). Bed was comfortable and large. Be aware that there is no street sign to indicate the location. The host sent very detailed instructions on how to find the place, but we ended up going to the neighboring property bc we got confused and overwhelmed by all the instructions. For check in we just walked up to the house and the key was in the unlocked door. The host even left the AC on in the house which was a nice touch. She also left a welcome book and print out of all of the animals on the property, including names and pictures of the cats and dogs which was really fun. It’s an easy downhill walk to Montezuma. All in all it was a great trip, wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of exploring the property. Perfect get away spot for two people. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone!

Would definitely recommend. Truly a great place to stay! 10/10!

Simply put, this was one of our all-time favorite Airbnb experiences. We extended our stay not once, not twice, but three times! Taru made the process extremely easy and had great communication. We stayed in Cabin #1 and it was absolutely perfect. Clean, comfortable, private, with a great view from the deck. There were some small ants but to be expected in such a tropical environment.  Excellent WiFi. 2 minute drive into the main area of Montezuma - definitely suggest you have a vehicle if you stay here. Also nice to have a big comfortable bed. You won’t regret staying here!

Beautiful apartment in quiet surroundings.

Schönes Appartement in ruhiger Umgebung.

Amazing place to be close to nature and enjoy the relaxing setting. Thank you so much!

We stayed for 5 nights in this incredible location, a short (but hilly) walk into montezuma proper. The cabins are modern and well set up, and we super appreciated having access to the small gym and open space onsite. The trails around the property are beautiful - unfortunately down to the watering hole wasnt accessible during our stay.

a very good establishment the place is beautiful, very clean and close to Montezuma! I recommend it

un très bon établissement l endroit est beau, très propre et proche de Montezuma ! je recommande

A place to vacation for several days, very comfortable, beautiful views, equipped with everything you need and a very cozy space around nature. I would come back again, it's close to downtown Montezuma .

Un lugar para vacacionar varios días, muy cómodo, hermosas vistas, equipado con lo necesario y un espacio muy acogedor alrededor de la naturaleza. Volvería de nuevo, queda cerca del centro de Montezuma .

Property is very large and beautiful, it feels quite safe in addition. It is not a place to walk to the beach, but it is to go by car/motorcycle to different beaches. There are dogs on the property and they are very friendly , we walked some trails and were guiding us. If we notice that things like the gym and other facilities have been affected by rust being close to the beach , but for the price and room , it is worth it.

Propiedad es muy grande y bonita, se siente bastante segura ademas. No es una locación para ir caminando a la playa, pero si para ir en carro/moto a diferentes playas. Hay perros en la propiedad y son muy amigables , caminamos por algunos senderos y nos iban guiando. Si notamos que cuestiones como el gimnasio y otras facilidades han sido afectadas por oxidación al estar cerca de playa , pero por el precio y habitación , vale la pena.

Very nice place. Excellent communication if you have any questions. Unfortunately, there were small animals in the kitchen. The hotplates weren't very powerful. The dogs often barked for us. For people who are afraid of dogs, maybe not so recommended.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Exzellente Kommunikation bei Fragen. Leider waren kleine Tiere in der Küche. Die Kochplatten waren nicht sehr leistungsstark. Die Hunde haben uns oft angebellt. Für Menschen mit Angst vor Hunden vielleicht nicht so zu empfehlen.

I’m extremely grateful to Taru’s team, the stay was great, it’s a private location surrounded by nature, the villa has a unique architecture design. I accidentally left a lost item and they took care of sending it to me, for which I’m extremely grateful with Gabriel.

The location of this AirBnb is amazing. We loved watching birds from the balcony and even saw a Motmot and a Trogon whilst lounging on the patio furniture. We really enjoyed the private walks that were part of the property too. If the swimming pool is ever finished it will be incredible! It was nice to use the pool table in the evenings too. The room was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was reasonably well kitted out. We think a blind or curtain needs adding to the door though, we had to improvise when we were there. Also as the location is so wild be prepared for wild creatures to get into your room. Shake your shoes out before you put them on and you should be fine. The hosts were also very gracious answering our many questions and helping us figure out our transport. We were able to walk to/from Montezuma in 15-20 minutes but the hill is steep and it’s not the safest for pedestrians. If you do it at night a good torch is essential. Alternatively the taxi cost us 3000 colones.

We enjoyed staying at Montezuma very much. The place was very clean and perfect for a couple. The host was very friendly, communication was uncomplicated and we got a lot of valuable tips for the area. We would come back anytime.

Uns hat der Aufenthalt in Montezuma sehr gut gefallen. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und perfekt für ein Paar geeignet. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, die Kommunikation war unkompliziert und wir haben sehr viele wertvolle Tipps für die Gegend bekommen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Taru Rentals was beautiful grounds. We woke up for sunrise and it was stunning. The airbnb itself was spotless and clean except for the occasional bug which is totally understandable considering you’re in the middle of a rainforest/garden. Lots of animal sightings and super friendly pups!

Everything was Perfect, felt very comfortable. Highly recommand this Place !

A magical place! I thought I'd be in paradise… the studio is located inside a private property surrounded by the magnificent nature of the jungle. Comfortable, simple and clean, equipped with the minimum necessary to cook. Air conditioning is only served during the hottest hours. There is no mosquito nets but we had no problem, the mosquitoes are not there at this time. The view from the window in front of the bed is fantastic and fairytale, you can also see the sea from afar. Inside the property there are three adorable dogs, we made friends with Muri and Simon, polite and affectionate, as well as having been excellent guides during the trails that you can walk inside the property where you can meet cappuccino monkeys, hummingbirds, aguti, iguanas and more. It would be better to have a car to get to Montezuma, although nearby, the streets are steep. Thanks to the guy who welcomed us, we felt safe ;)

Un posto magico! Ho pensato di trovarmi in paradiso… il monolocale è situato all’interno di una proprietà privata circondato dalla magnifica natura della giungla. Confortevole, semplice e pulito, dotato del minimo indispensabile per poter cucinare. L’aria condizionata è servita solo durante le ore più calde. Non ci sono le zanzariere ma non abbiamo avuto nessun problema, le zanzare non ci sono in questo periodo. La vista dalla vetrata difronte al letto è fantastica e fiabesca, si puó vedere anche il mare da lontano. All’interno della proprietà ci sono tre cani adorabili, abbiamo fatto amicizia con Muri e Simon, educati ed affettuosi, oltre ad essere stati delle ottime guide durante i sentieri che si possono percorrere all’interno della proprietà dove si possono incontrare scimmie cappuccino, colibrì, aguti, iguane e altro. Sarebbe meglio avere un’auto per raggiungere Montezuma, anche se vicino, le strade sono ripide. Grazie al ragazzo che ci ha accolti, ci siamo sentiti al sicuro ;)

We stayed at Taru's place for 5 nights. The surroundings are beautiful, the place is exactly or better than shown. Very quiet, we enjoyed our stay and the trails, I'm going to miss the daily visits with the dogs. We didn't have a vehicle and made the trek in to Montezuma every day and back, it wasn't too bad, the beach and waves were fantastic. We felt right at home in our little piece of paradise.

The place is surrounded by nature, it was really nice to wake up in the additional place, pets are lovely, however there are a couple of things that we didn't like.  1- The place was difficult to find on Waze, 2- our room number was difficult to identify, 3- the room door has zero privacy 4- there is no security gate or any kind of privacy to enter the rooms Anyone can enter with bad intentions, so much so that at midnight we heard a person scream several times and we were afraid to stay in the place for the rest of the night.

Positive aspects: beautiful apartments, clean, flexible check-in, good communication via online chat, lovely pets around who come to visit and cuddle. Negative aspects: the hiking paths and other parts of the property are not maintained, the community rooms (studio e.g.) are dirty and not taken care of, the staff on location doesn’t speak English at all (but was very friendly and happy to help). All in all we had a great time and enjoyed our week in this area - thank you!

The accommodation is very beautiful. The nice deck. We saw monkeys passing right by the window as it was mentioned in other reviews. We took the car to go to Montezuma but it's not impossible to walk there it's just very sloping!

Le logement est très beau. La terrasse agréable. Nous avons vu des singes passer juste devant la fenêtre comme cela était mentionné dans d’autres commentaires. Nous prenions la voiture pour aller à Montezuma mais ça n’est pas impossible d’y aller à pied c’est juste très en pente !

Incredible surroundings to appreciate the nature that Costa Rica offers!

I loved my short stay at Taru. Montezuma is very quiet but I loved hanging out with Muri the dog and taking him to the beach. The property is gorgeous and only a few min drive into town. The unit had everything I needed.

Great stay for the price. One of the better deals we found in Costa and this one included a full kitchen, large shower, hiking trails and great private view. A little hard to find the entrance to the property but was exactly as the instructions provided described. They also had the room ready early for us which was unexpected and helpful. We had a great stay and would definitely come back!

Clean and quiet surroundings.  The kitchen was limited, but quality pots and pans.  The safe didn’t work and the door lock is flimsy.  The owner responded to all messages, but not to the broken safe and flimsy lock.

A beautiful place, super clean and comfortable. 100% recommended ! And excellent service!!

Un lugar precioso, súper limpio y cómodo. 100% recomendado ! Y la atención excelente !!

The room was absolutely amazing. We felt like having our small luxurious bubble in the middle of the jungle. When walking along the trails we saw plenty of wild life. The way to montezuma is a bit long and steep for a chilled walk, but most of the time we were easily able to hitchhike in/from town. The communication was distanced and impersonal, but otherwise the stay was angreat experience! Also the yogadeck is an amazing location for jungleflair-workouts.

The studio is cozy and has a very nice view into the garden. So perfect for nature lovers like us. It is close to the town of montezuma, but still a very quiet place.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation on the top of Montezuma. The place is very quiet and peaceful, in the middle of the jungle. Idyllic setting! If you want to go to the center of Montezuma, you need a vehicle but for athletes, we managed quite easily on foot for the descent and there are plenty of taxis, buses that offer the journey to get back up. Even when hitchhiking people are kind and accommodating in the area. We had the opportunity to surf the Playa Grande (about a 30-minute walk from Montezuma) which is in a beautiful nature reserve. The vegetation and animals are sublime! This place seduced us because there are fewer tourists than on the side of Santa Teresa and the atmosphere in the village of Montezuma is very nice and more typical. Pura Vida!

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce logement sur les hauts de Montezuma. Le lieu est très calme et paisible, au milieu de la jungle. Cadre idyllique! Si vous souhaitez vous rendre au centre de Montezuma, il faut un véhicule mais pour les sportifs, nous nous sommes débrouillés assez facilement à pied pour la descente et il y a beaucoup de taxis, de bus qui proposent le trajet pour remonter. Même en faisant du hitchhiking les gens sont aimables et arrangeants dans la région. Nous avons profiter pour surfer à la Playa Grande (environ 30 minutes de marche depuis Montezuma) qui se trouve dans une magnifique réserve naturelle. La végétation et les animaux sont sublimes! Ce lieu nous a séduit car il y a moins de touristes que du côté de Santa Teresa et l'ambiance au village de Montezuma est très chouette et plus typique. Pura Vida!

We came back for a second stay at Taru rentals - such a lovely place. Definately the place to stay in Montezuma! :)

Very nice and spacious  bungalow, a 5-minute drive from Montezuma. The weather did not allow us to enjoy the hiking trails of the property but we were able to see many birds including a toucan from our terrace. In any case, the place is pleasant. Quiet and of good standing.

Très agréable et spacieux  bungalow à 5mn de voiture de montezuma. La météo ne nous a pas permis de profiter des chemins de randonnée de la propriété mais nous avons pu voir beaucoup d'oiseaux dont un toucan de notre terrasse. En tout cas l'endroit est agréable. calme et d'un bon standing.

Large, well-equipped and clean studio in the middle of nature. The place is peaceful and quiet, with adorable dogs to welcome you. The outdoor common area is lovely. Communication with the host is excellent, responds quickly to any request.

Grand studio bien équipé et propre au milieu de la nature. Le lieu est paisible et calme, avec d’adorables chiens pour vous accueillir. L’espace commun extérieur est très agréable. La communication avec l’hôte est excellente, il répond rapidement à toute demande.

Beautiful place to spend a great vacation. Close to Montezuma. Well equipped kitchen. And very detailed the studio. I recommend it

Precioso lugar para pasar unas excelentes vacaciones. Cerca de Montezuma. Cocina bien equipada. Y muy detallado el estudio. Lo recomiendo

It is a beautiful apertment with nice furniture and a big kitchen! Everything is very clean and nice and the surroundings are beautiful! We loved the terrace with ocean view!

We loved the place! Everything is beautiful, you live right next to nature and you can enjoy an amazing view. We even got to see the sunrise at the viewpoint that the owner is explaining in the description and it was sooo worth it!!! I would highly recommend this airbnb, it has everything want you could wish for.

Recommend this spot in Montezuma. Awesome location (though you definitely want to have a motorized vehicle of some kind to get to and from the town since it’s 800 metres of steep hill). Comfortable bed, cold AC, good wifi, hot water in the shower and a well equipped kitchen. Quick communication from the host as well. Don’t hesitate to book here.

We spent 4 days at Taru.  They are close to Montezuma, but you need a car.  There is a hiking trail and fabulous bird watching.  The common area has  a pool table, a ping pong table and a work out area.  The room was very nice.  They need to upgrade their pots and pans and there was not any salt or pepper or anything.  At check in, there was a man on the property who waved at us as we entered, but there was no help finding our room.  We were given information in an email that was accurate, but a smiling face and a little help would go a long way.

Great place, great value, great location. We wish we could’ve stayed here a little bit longer

A very nice apartment in Montezuma.  The situation was super secluded but very close to Montezuma. The gym and private hiking trails were just great! Thanks for the stay. Everything perfect!

Ein sehr schönes Appartement in Montezuma.  Die Lage war supper abgelegen aber  doch sehr nahe von Montezuma. Das Fitnessstudio und die privaten Wanderwege waren einfach nur toll! Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt. Alles perfekt!

The place is peaceful/tranquil. A real little paradise. We were able to see the sunrise from their sighting point. Next to the city but it takes a car to get there. Recommended.

L’endroit est paisible/tranquille. Un vrai petit paradis. Nous avons pu voir le lever du soleil de leur point d’observation. À côté de la ville mais ça prend une voiture pour s’y rendre. Je recommande.

Not the easiest place to find since there’s no sign out front, but definitely worth the effort. Secluded and private. Lots of glass to view the surroundings. Easy check in. Definitely recommend an atv rental if you’ll be here more than a few days.  Highly recommended.

We loved our stay in this apartment. It had absolutely everything we needed . We loved sitting on the terrace with the sea in the distance and birds in the trees. It was spacious (sleeping area, lounge area and kitchen area) with a good bed and shower. Very efficient AC. Good instructions about how to find them and book in. We liked being just out of Montezuma. It is a short drive in but quite a long walk. Good value for money.

Beautiful rbnb Well located Clean I recommend it!!

Magnifique rbnb Bien situé Propre Je recommande !!

Totally wonderful place, great clean room and super peaceful. We were so pleased and it is a wonderful value. Has everything you could need, plus adorable doggies and lots of activities.. A car is a must unless you want to spend a lot of your time walking down a super steep hill into town/beach. Only a few minutes drive though. Thank you so much for a relaxing stay - well be back!

The apartment is part of a huge property in the middle of the countryside with its own small hiking trails that lead to a viewpoint for sunrises. From the veranda of the apartment you can watch capuchin monkeys and you can relax and enjoy the silence and the sea view. Very nice apartment with everything you need, now and then a few ants get lost in the kitchen, but otherwise clean. Anytime again!

Das Apartment ist Teil eines riesigen Grundstücks mitten im Grünen mit eigenen kleinen Wanderrouten, die zu einem Aussichtspunkt für Sonnenaufgänge führen. Von der Veranda des Apartments lassen sich Kapuzineraffen beobachten und man kann entspannt die Stille und den Meerblick genießen. Sehr schönes Apartment mit allem was man benötigt, ab und an verirren sich ein paar Ameisen in der Küche, aber ansonsten sauber. Jederzeit wieder!

The accommodation is totally beautiful, quiet, well-equipped and close to nature. We recommend the place 100%.

Die Unterkunft ist total schön, ruhig, gut ausgestattet und naturnahe. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft zu 100%.

great place good location close to everything. host has awesome suggestions and communicating with them was easy

Unique ocean views from the room. The terrace is spacious and comfortable, a nice place to connect with nature. Getting around with a car is preferable, it’s close to town and the beach but it’s located on the hill. (Worth the views) Wifi also works great.

Incredible views! 💚 The place is super comfortable, private, clean, quiet...

Unas vistas increíbles! 💚 el lugar súper cómodo, privado, limpio, tranquilo…

very nice modern room/apartment, well equipped and in a nice complex

sehr schönes modernes zimmer/Apartment, toll ausgestattet und in schöner anlage

Lovely spot, quiet and relaxing. Quite a hike up the hill so would suggest a vehicle of some kind :)

Perfect place to stay away from the center of Montezuma. The walk to the center is a great workout & I workout often. The room was well crafted, clean & had beautiful views.

A great stay! Came after Santa Theresa Beach — Definitely Recommend!

Gorgeous place with beautiful view! We had a quick stay, but very enjoyable. AC works really well!

Absolutely perfect place! The view, the atmosphere, the quality of the accommodations... everything is there! Our favorite thing about Costa Rica. We'll be back for sure!

Endroit absolument parfait! La vue, l’atmosphère, la qualité des logements… tout y est! Notre coup de cœur au Costa Rica. Nous reviendrons à coup sûr!

It was a wonderful accommodation in the middle of nature, everything was very clean, we'll be back, thank you
