Great location, best ocean view ever

It felt tired and neglected. Disappointing.

The sea view

No complaints.

Beautiful Spot. Walking distance to Butterfly Brewery & Restaurant (just at the end of their lane, 5min). There is a shortcut to the Montezuma waterfalls from their property. The views are breathtaking. Rooms are very comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. Rooms have small fridges. You also have access to a larger shared fridge if needed. Also the staff on site was wonderful. My only regret is not staying longer. Highly recommend.

Pool was smaller than I thought but use it every day ;)

View from my room, very nice breakfast, yoga class was a great too. The bridge was fantastic. Fun and cut our journey down to the village short

Beautiful and calm. Right in the jungle. Wonderful sunrise views, with morning monkey visits (shut the door and please don’t feed them - it’s not good for them!). Attentive and welcome hosts!

We loved everything about this property!

Everything; fabulous property & location! The owner is awesome and has done an incredible job with this property.

It is a little bit out of town and you have to walk up a steep hill but when you cross the hanging bridge it is worth it.

It is an incredible place. We saw so much wildlife and the room was HUGE. The bathroom is really clean and you have a balcony that overlooks the jungle and sea and it was incredible to wake up to everyday. The hanging bridge is incredible and the best one we have encountered in Costa Rica.

So well placed to go into town and to montezuma waterfall. Very comfortable bed and wonderful view from the balcony. The hanging bridge is an added bonus as let’s you get into town so easily and is just an amazing way to start and end the day.

the excellent hospitality and views, will never forget either

First of all, the room was quite large and the view from the balcony is very nice. The breakfast was really good and we saw monkeys all day long. But we didn’t like a few things. First of all, for people with no car it is a very very steep way up to the hotel. Fortunately someone picked us up to the hotel. The hanging bridge can only be used with the room keys, so you can’t use it to enter the hotel for the first time. We thought the stay would be very relaxing and doing yoga in the morning, instead there was a construction site beside our room, which starts at 7am…not relaxing at all in our holidays. The bed in our room was very comfy and clean but in the bathroom there were many foreign hair and spiders (small ones). We had a little coffee machine in our room, which was nice, badly the glasses and cups were used and not clean.

the lighting in the room and bathroom was really dark, almost impossible to see anything at night

Location, view, design and rooms plus the waterfall close by

I don't like to say negative things but there are a few things this hotel could do to improve their offering. For the price point we were expecting much a better hotel than we got. Bearing in mind we are traveling around central America and have stayed in various types of accomodation and we are not fussy people at all. However for the price the hotel is quite dated and there are general maintenance items they could fix, paint, clean, redo. If you are aware of this before you stay then you won't be disappointed but the photos are not up to date. There is no reception really, you show up and are not greeted by anyone until we found the cleaner (who doesn't speak any English at all which is fine because we used our basic Spanish and Google translate.) The breakfast alternates offering different things each day which is good. We didn't get to try it all but I'm sure it was fine. The pool is very uninviting and could be improved. The pillows had black mould on them (it's the jungle so granted things don't dry properly). The toilet seat was broken and coming off. The table under the TV was fraying at the edges. Tiles broken on the stairs. Needs repainting. Overall the property needs some TLC and the "hotel" element needs improving because other than the cleaner there is no one around all day to give you information on what to do/ help or anything. You can message on booking.com and they do reply quite quickly but this isn't helpful if you don't have access to data outside of the hotel and need information fast. The landscaping needs attention. The reception could be improved. It's a long walk up a very steep steep road from Montezuma. Climbing this for the able bodied person is fine, hard but fine. For someone who has any difficulties walking or balancing they will struggle walking to this hotel. Water provision is not much but I think you can drink the tap water.

The beds are super comfy!! balcony over looking the ocean was really lovely.

it is about a 15 min walk (uphill) from Montezuma

Beautiful property, lovely rooms that all have a great view of the ocean. First time I’ve had a hot shower and AC in my 3 weeks in Costa Rica! Super close to the waterfalls, it’s impossible to visit this property without seeing tons of wildlife - I saw many monkeys and coatis just from my balcony! friendly staff makes a very good breakfast

the location. walking up huge hills but thankfully there’s a little shortcut- the hanging bridge.

Beautiful view

The pool is still damaged and dangerous around the edge. Ants had to be poisoned daily as would infest the room. Reception staff were hardly ever there and the what app number took 7 hours to get back to us No yoga This unfortunately looks like it's just being run down and not much is getting spent on it.

The view is good and the 2 Spanish cleaning ladies tried their best to help.

The location is difficult to get to up a very big hill it can be hard to get to if you are not fit. Taxi is not cheap

Beautiful room and great views friendly staff I wish I could stay longer

Everything was wonderful.

This place was absolutely magical. Staying up in the trees we had an incredible view of the ocean, could hear the waterfalls, and it was so peaceful. It was the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The staff were very kind and accommodating (helped with luggage storage, booking a shuttle to our next place, etc). We saw monkeys and hiked to the waterfalls all by the property. The breakfast was wonderful and the sun deck was the perfect place to watch the sunrise. Pool was fantastic. Peaceful, beautiful, one of a kind.

We loved our stay at the Sunshine Sanctuary. The view from the rooms was amazing and we saw a variety of wildlife from our balcony (monkeys, coatis, tons of different birds, iguanas, and an agouti). The breakfast was so good as well. Also, the free trail to the waterfall was a great perk, we went 5 times during our 8 day stay.

Cant find anything we disliked..

Incredible view! Sitting on the balcony in the evenings was magical. And we spotted so many spieces of burds from there:) The staff and the owner were so nice. One of the best places i ever been to👍

I had an amazing time at this beautiful place! The views were absolutely stunning and the room was spotless. The sea view was breathtaking and the people were so friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed the yoga class on the deck and the fact that it was only a 10 minute walk from the town. Breakfast was also included and it was delicious - a bowl of fresh fruit, eggs and avocado toast with tea or coffee. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway!

the bridge

Stayed in February 2023

I booked away from the village center hoping it will be quiet but you hear motorbikes noise enough to disturb a light sleeper

room was nice and the entrance to the waterfalls (which ppl come to see all the way from santa teresa) is right next to the property

The lack of water truly out a damper on my stay. Unable to wash my hands, shower and flush the toilet.

I loved the room, the location and the views.
