Ylang Ylang Beach Resort
9.6 (55 reviews)

Ylang Ylang Beach Resort ★★★

📍 700 Meters North of the School, Montezuma

"Stunning resort! I stayed in the Treetop Cabin, and I loved how it was located the farthest away from the other rooms. Being surrounded by the jungle up high made it so private and peaceful. I even had the white-faced monkeys come visit me on the porch! The restaurant had some of the best food I've ever eaten, and the service was great. It was so convenient booking our tours through the resort. Being older, the tub/shower combo although beautifully done was challenging to get in and out of, but II was able to shower in the outside shower. Even though the resort is located on the beach, it is not a beach that anyone could swim in because the waves were too strong and there were so many large rocks and boulders that could be dangerous to crash into. Nobody could swim in that water so that was disappointing. Also was told that the waterfall was an easy path, but that is only if you are a mountain goat or a rock climber! There's no way I could have climbed over the large boulders and rocks to get up high enough to see a waterfall. This is a great resort for younger, more adventurous tourists but it is challenging for older folks."

Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge
8.8 (32 reviews)

Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge ★★★

📍 Provincia de, Montezuma

"On foot and without a car, the hotel is very difficult to access, you have to walk and climb large hills, good physical condition is recommended. The strong point: superb, modern and comfortable room with a magnificent view of the jungle and the ocean. Hearty breakfast on the terrace. Negative points: non-existent staff, everything is done via Wathsapp. The hotel was under construction and the common areas were poorly maintained (swimming pools, stairs). The room was not cleaned during our stay. The cook was alone, a little overwhelmed and trying to get by as best she could in a kitchen with questionable hygiene."

Hotel Nya

Hotel Nya ★★★

📍 Detras de la Iglesia de Montezuma, Hotel Nya, Provincia de, Montezuma

"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!"

El Sano Banano Beachside Hotel
8.2 (40 reviews)

El Sano Banano Beachside Hotel ★★★

📍 In Front of Park, Main Street, Puntarenas Province, Montezuma, Montezuma Beach, Montezuma

"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. "

"Perfect little room. Amazing pools. Great staff. Wonderful location. My children and I enjoyed a fabulous 2 days here but would have happily stayed for 2 weeks. Plenty of places nearby to eat. I definitely recommend the walk to playa grande."

Ylang Ylang Beach Resort ★★★
"As the title says, Ylang Ylang created the wedding of our dreams. From the earliest stages of planning through our final day at the resort, Moraya, Emma, and the entire team treated our celebration with genuine care, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. Our welcome cocktail party, beachfront ceremony, reception dinner, and dance party were all absolutely perfect. Each event felt effortless, intimate, and uniquely ours. The setting was breathtaking, the food and cocktails were exceptional, and every detail came together better than we could have imagined. As a bonus, they worked with us to create custom signature cocktails inspired by our pets. As a same-sex couple, it was especially meaningful to feel completely comfortable, genuinely celebrated, and cared for throughout the entire experience. We never felt merely accommodated. The entire team embraced our wedding wholeheartedly and made us feel that our love and celebration were just as important to them as they were to us. Planning a destination wedding can feel overwhelming, but we could feel that our celebration was in capable and caring hands. Emma and Moraya handled every request with patience and flexibility, allowing us to be fully present with one another and the people we love. We never felt like just another wedding on the schedule. They made the entire week feel deeply personal, and we felt heard every step of the way. The food throughout our stay was absolutely delicious and exceeded every expectation. Every meal felt fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. They even prepared fresh tuna that some of our guests caught on a fishing expedition earlier that day and added it to the menu for dinner after our welcome cocktail party. Our family and friends are still talking about the food, the incredible service, most notably from Francesco and Patricia, and the warmth and attentiveness of the entire team. We stayed in the Treetop Canopy, which gave us the perfect balance of privacy while still allowing us to feel closely connected to our guests. The capuchin monkeys quite literally come and hang out with you on the porch. I will never forget sitting beside one on the outdoor sofa as it slept peacefully on the railing only feet away from me. Ylang Ylang gave us far more than a beautiful wedding venue. They created the setting for some of the happiest and most meaningful moments of our lives. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding week, and this incredible resort will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We will absolutely return, and we will enthusiastically recommend Ylang Ylang to every couple looking for an unforgettable destination wedding in Costa Rica. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Pura Vida! Jonathan & Jason"

Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge ★★★
"The hotel is in a unique location, on top of a hill, with great views of the sea, and has quality infrastructure. However, cleaning is very limited and maintenance is lacking. Upon arrival, the parking lot had a lot of rubble from construction work that took too long, check-in was done by two teenagers and cleaning had been done too long ago and in a limited manner. The room didn't even have towels. The breakfast was good and served with kindness,"

El Sano Banano Beachside Hotel ★★★
"We spent 3 nights, Saturday-Tuesday at El Sano Banano in downtown Montezuma. The hotel was conveniently located steps to the beach and on the downtown strip, next to a market and many restaurants. We saw a few different lizards in the outdoor dining area. The in-house restaurant and bar served Tipico style Costa Rican cuisine. The included breakfast was a sit down service with tipico rice and beans, eggs, pancakes, toast, coffee. There was no availability of self serve coffee. We stayed in a room with a window overlooking the street vendors and park. There was one full size bed and one twin on the opposite side. The mattresses, linens and pillows were tolerable. There was an AC wall unit but no window or ventilation, or balcony. Our wet clothes never dried completely. There was a private bathroom with shower with hot water, toilet. The decor of the space was beachy, colorful and quirky, I liked it. Due to the proximity to the downtown area and thin walls we could hear the music and bass from the discotheque all of Saturday night. If you’re planning on staying throughout a weekend, I’d highly recommend bringing earplugs/noise cancellers. Overall it was a pretty good stay but we’d probably consider staying somewhere off of the main street when we visit Montezuma next time. Recommendations for the hotel: -self serve coffee station -more comfortable bedding/pillows -warning about street noise, sale/availability of earplugs -more friendly staff"

Hotel El Jardin ★★
"Now let me start by saying this hotel isn't perfect, it has a very steep drive, the room was fairly basic and the air con could do with a bit of work - however, the pricing certainly matched and this place had some great features too. Staff - the owner (I believe) who also worked on reception was a very friendly guy and was very helpful if you had any questions or needed anything. They provided biscuits, bananas and water in reception even though it was not a bed a breakfast. There's no safety deposit boxes in the room but they will keep any valuables locked away in reception and they seemed very honest and obliging if you needed to get anything from it or add to it. Rooms - Although the room was basic, it's pleasant enough, clean and has all you need. It had a nice area outside with wooden sun beds and a hammock for lazing around on. Very nice to chill out early evening before heading the very short walk to the shops for food/drinks etc Pools - 2 pools close together (one's just a higher level) a few steps up. Nice seat area in one and a slight jacuzzi, not very strong but again pleasant enough. The grounds are beautifully kept and are a major plus to the hotel. Location - Excellent location as right next to the shops/bars and restaurants but I'm guessing because our room was up a steep driveway, noise didn't really seem an issue. A nice stay all in all and a location (Montezuma) and a hotel we'd consider staying in again should we return."

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. "
