Easy walk down to the city but hard climb back. A bit rough access

Location on top of the hill, with a nice view from the balcony and eating area. Good breakfast. Easy access to the falls. Very quiet.

The water in the 1st room we were offered only came out extremely hot and could not be adjusted. I had assumed the pool would be larger. It was not big enough to swim in.

Breakfast was excellent; every day something different. I loved the fresh fruit. The muesli was nice but a little burnt. The hanging bridge was fun and great to have a short cut into town.

A bit of a rough road to get there

Excellent big room in montezuma. A bit off the centre but in a very scenic location. I loved the hanging bridge and also the patio for the breakfast.

The floor boards were warped because they had obviously had previous water damage; we had to cover a protruding board with a rug to prevent from tripping over it. There was some minor repair work being done a little early in the morning, but nothing terrible. But these were minor issues compared to our wonderful time there.

The room was spacious and equipped with the essentials. Everything was clean. The view from our balcony was very nice. The pool is a little small, but sufficient for a quick cool off. The breakfast was very good! Got quick answers to all of my questions.

Beautiful room and location!

It’s really hard to find any fault with this property. Walking up the hill from town is pretty strenuous the first few times you do it but if you’re in shape it’s ok. As long as you plan for the hill or have a car you’ll be ok.

The staff are lovely! The location is absolutely perfect for accessing the best waterfall pool. Breakfast was delicious. Loved the suspension bridge.

Some employees working in building right below where we were staying, starting throwing rocks at 7am every morning .

The property was under construction due to a recent slide, which is obviously unavoidable, but they started work really early each morning so it was very noisy most of the day. We were not informed us this prior to our stay nor we were given a discount for our stay during construction, i feel given the noise and daily construction it kept a lot of animals we would have normally seen away. The apartment had ants.. a lot of them. One of our air-conditioning units had a constant drip while being used so we had to keep a pot from the kitchen under it the entire stay and empty it frequently. The bed in the second bedroom was so squeaky and loud. Showers were never hot or even warm. You had hot water during mid day but during the evening when you just want a nice warm shower hot water was no where to be seen.

There was 4 of us so we rented the apartment as it had two bedrooms and a living room. It had amazing views and we got to see a monkey each morning. Breakfast was included and was made personally each morning upon arrival to the balcony, which also had a stunning view. I didn't get the name of the woman who made us Breakfast each morning but she was absolutely wonderful. This property is at the top of a very steep hill, unless you are quite fit walking it isn't really an option, quads are available for rental in town and a lot of people took that option. We had rented a car for this vacation so we were fine, just note roads are windy and narrow in Costa Rica! My favorite part of the stay was the waterfall that is a 5 minute trail walk away. The waterfall was stunning and we lounged in the waterfall pools almost daily while we were there. The trail usually costs money to use l, but staying at the hotel it's free.

Unfortunately, the location is really steep. It is mentioned in the description of the hotel, but is even more difficult than I imagined. Only with a lot of help could I access our apartment, and then I did not leave it until we checked out. Also, a lot of construction was going on in the vicinity of the hotel.

The staff was wonderful. They did everything possible to make me (83years old) comfortable. Breakfast was brought to our apartment as I was not able to access the breakfast area. This is a great place if you are young and agile. If not, stay somewhere else. I was also heppy that we were only charged for the one night that we stayed, and that the staff found another place for us.

Great location, close walk to the waterfall. Nice views of jungle and sea.

I've been here before but it's under new management so I guess things are just being figured out. Not enough towels for guests, I could tell some infrastructure needed improvement, a/c had to be fixed along with the door lock when arriving, decor is outdated and I personally didn't mind but staff and kids live there so it felt more like apartments than a hotel. Nonetheless it has so much potential and wish new management the very best :)

Breakfast and coffee were delicious! Pool was clean, staff was very polite, they have trails and a hanging bridge in the property that I enjoyed very much.

The pool is pretty and the view is lovely, but the pool is small. It needs maintenance. Tiles were falling off into the water. Pool furniture needs replacing. Rooms are in need of updating. Bed comfy. Overall, good value for the $.

The view in our room. Fantastic. The breakfast area is elevated and has a lovely view. Breakfast by Lily is wonderful. Thank you, Lily. She’s always around.

Breakfast was not good. It was salt with a bit of egg, tomato and union. Also they put cinnamon in the coffee. Don’t mess with coffee…

Location was perfect. View from the room was also very nice.

i noticed my son was a little mad that we did not go on Monday/Friday so maybe a more kid friendly option for food and that my son did not enjoy the hanging bridge has never really like them. That is it though

We like the view from our room it was overlooking the bridge which was nice and a beautiful view of the beach. the pool was nice and we enjoyed the swings over the pool. For the breakfast i really enjoyed the food are stay was great was great

It is difficult to rate this place. It is a beautiful property, however with the huge and very important disadvantage, which I wanted to point out - the staff, which is making this place so cold and abundant. It is not about that they do not speak english, this can be acceptable, if you see the efforts to communicate and the smile. In this place - very sadly - it was not the case. Moreover, there were two many mistakes made: 1) I had interest in morning yoga and this was confirmed for me. As a result – we staid in the hotel, waiting for the youga and there was no yoga class in the morning (and actually noone in the reception to give some information). 2) They asked about my allergies upon arrival (for the breakfast), and I have pointed out the alergy for eggs. Guess what? Yes, I get the eggs for breakfast. 3) The nice book, written by the owner (which you probably find in every room, with a note that you can buy the book at the reception). And .... we asked 3 different times, 3 different receptionist, no one new the price and no one even tried to do something to get to know it or otherwise solve the issue. So, this is more a message to the owner: please take your close look to the staff and make this place breefing with life again! It is worth it! Now it is a feeling of being abundant, almost dead. And that is so sad!

The place is nice. You can reach the waterfalls, directly from it (~ 10 min). It has a nice hanging bridge and a wonderful view to the sunset and the sea. Quite far to the beach, but has a small and nice pool to refresh. Very nice place where you take breakfast (included in the room price). You can walk down to the city or take a car, as walking might be quite hot and not so pleasant, as you go on the road.

Wifi was very unstable. There was a mistake about numbers for breakfast but it was resolved very professionally and we got a nice meal despite the accidental under catering.

Lovely views, nice well appointed apartment. We enjoyed a splash in the small pool each evening. Small boutique feel to the property. Lovely yoga space.

That it’s a bit far from the center but at the same time it helps to be in a quiet environment.

The view, the nature, the property was really nice.

This was one of the more expensive stops on our Costa Rica trip, so a simple daily clean and emptying of bins would have been an improvement.

We had a great stay. The view from the room and access to the waterfall were real highlights. Breakfast was prepared and served with a smile by Emma (she is a huge asset to the business, and will go far!) and Yevil gave us great tips for getting out and about. The bridge is good fun, and necessary to shorten the walk up the hill! There are animals all around and it was just right for a three night stay.

Asked in advance for vegan option at breakfast but a bit underwhelmed. Toast and jam would have been easier for staff and better to eat! Other breakfast options looked good though.

Great location and bridge access excellent addition. Free access to nearby waterfall a bonus.

Stayed in January 2024

We had a car, and it helped that the staff sent us directions even with gps to find it. But looks like would be a challenging uphill walk from town if you didn’t have a car. And know that there’s some up and down steps to get around the property. Don’t stay there if you have accessibility issues.

A really nice, low-key vibe, pretty view of ocean from our room. They put a pitcher of water in the room fridge each day. Breakfast was nice, different each day. Recommend the place.

Stayed in February 2024

The set breakfast is a little restrictive and even though a substitution is offered the member of staff serving it is a little grumpy!

Lovely full height windows from the room with a view over the pacific. Expect inquisitive monkeys on the balcony! The view of the wildlife from the breakfast terrace is great. The short walk downhill to the nearby waterfall is recommended. The hotel pool is small but good for a cool off. The nearby brewery is great for beers, cocktails and food. It's a steep walk down into the town but the rope bridge is fun to do. (The taxi back is pricey!)

You should know that it's on the side of a very steep hill. We knew that when we booked and we managed it every day when we went to town. That said, it IS very difficult, so if you think you don't have at least moderate fitness, maybe look at other accomodations. It's about 15 mins from town walking, 5 of which is a very steep walk up a hill on the road. The road is mostly lit though which is good. Another problem is that it seems navigation won't get you to the right place as the road to hotel is unmarked. We used Waze, not sure if it's marked in an another app. The hotel should at the very least send directions that are easy to follow to find the place.

The room was clean and the shower was hot. There is AC. The view from the place is amazing, and especially the view of the stars at night from the bridge. The staff is helpful and very friendly. The breakfast is pretty good.

A little tricky finding the hotel at night, and figuring out where to go in the dark. Fortunately the night guard came out to help. The couple did not speak English so we were a little confused but they got us where we needed to be. We enjoyed the vertical layout, and steep access but it would be rough for anyone with limited mobility.

Gorgeous setting, helpful host & staff, friendly, relaxed. Stunning breakfast patio overlooking ocean & jungle. Woke to birds, monkeys, and a very bright sunrise each morning. Access is a challenge, but the views are amazing. We did not walk to town because of the incline. It’s less than a mile, but very, very steep.
