"I traveled with my wife and two kids. The property is just in front of the beach and you are surrounded by jungle. The rooms are excellent, the staff is amazing and the food was delicious. It is very private and you can walk through amazing trails to nearby beaches. There is parking on site.

El Sano Banano Beachside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The experience was very relaxing, the staff very friendly, and the hotel very clean; the breakfasts were delicious and the location excellent."

Ylang Ylang Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort! Among the most beautiful places we’ve stayed in. The beach front room"

Hotel El Jardín

10/10 Excellent

"Súper recomendado para disfrutar de la playa y montezuma"

Your best jungle and ocean view option in Montezuma!

10/10 Excellent

"Flor is a remarkable woman who keeps an incredible little home tucked away in the trees! A perfect embodiment of the funky jungle meets coastal vibes of Montezuma, just a short (very steep) hike away from town. ATV or car extremely recommended to get up the hill and down to beaches/shops, but it is possible to get there on foot. Shuttle buses will meet you at the main road, the hike from there is not too bad. Not a place for partying or family vacations, but perfect for the couple or very small group needing a place to call home base while exploring the Nicoya Peninsula!"
