Lieu magnifique, le pont flottant pour aller au village est juste stupefiant. Dommage que l'isolation acoustique avec les autres chambres soit si mauvaise.
Beautiful jungle retreat on the hill above Montezuma. Limited number of rooms, bright and airy. Clean, with mini fridge and a complete kitchen below an open air dining with a great ocean view patio where a nice breakfast was served daily. Laundry is available for a fee. Access is up a steep, potholed road just out of town. Turnoff to lodge is a narrow dirt with ample parking. A trail head leading to upper falls with swimming is right out the door. Staff is outstanding and the owner was from the State where I live. Some erosion control work was being done during our visit and only a minor distraction. Highly recommended if your in the Montezuma area.
Intimate small hotel with beautiful views of the ocean and tropical landscape (monkeys come visit you at the balcony). Staff and owner go beyond to make you feel at home. You do need a car (as there are no Ubers/taxi readily available). Access to the waterfall was a plus!
Tucked into the jungle it is definitely a Sanctuary. Monkeys and birds greet you along with an amazing view of the sunrise. A short walk to the water falls and Butterfly Brewery. The owner is a sweetheart and her hotel shows that. Everything about my stay was great
Excellent stay, cute and relaxing! Close to the waterfall, friendly helpful staff, very clean rooms and easy parking. Amazing breakfast. After reading some reviews we were a little worried about the place, but it was not the case. Would highly recommend this place.
If you are driving you can park right beside the hotel. If you are walking it would certainly be a trek, but the whole area is like that.
The property itself had a nice view but there was garbage around the property. Walkway to property for pedestrians was a hanging bridge, if your scared of heights youâll have to walk the long way around.
The tile at the start of the bridge on the property side was slippery, myself & others almost fell. Was an okay experience overall.
We loved the property itself however it was difficult getting into the parking as it is a very narrow dirt road with large bumps, the water was also not working and we needed tubs of water to flush, now sink water or shower water. Views were incredible!
We really loved this property.
Location: it is a little out of the town, not by much but it is a steep hill to climb, so if you don't like a bit of a walk this is not the place for you.
It has 2 access points, 1 by vehicle and 1 by foot. We read reviews about the vehicle access being concerning if you didnt have a 4v4. We had a Yaris and managed just fine. It is not a paved access road, but that is similar to most of Costa Rica.
Walking access is available over a suspension bridge across the gorge. Only people at the hotel have a key to access the bridge.
The views are amazing, from the balcony, the pool and the breakfast area. You also get free access to a paid trail down to the waterfall.
It is about a 10-20 minute walk down to the main town/beach area.
Room: spacious, clean. Extremely comfortable beds. The shower was big. Balcony's all overlooking the gorge and water.
Pool: on the smaller side but the deck over looks the forest and you are in the canopy. You can see the coastline.
Breakfast: was delicious. They have a set menu for the week. We had french toast the first day and scrambled eggs with avocado and toast and pinto gallo.
Overall a lovely stay! I recommend!
Sunshine Sanctuary is a beautiful property, with gracious and helpful staff. Staff were very helpful with transportation as we did not have a car. Being so close to the waterfall was delightful, and the views were amazing! Tours to Tortuga can be picked up right at Montezuma beach. As others have noted, it is a steep hill, making one think twice about making the journey more than once a day.
Beautiful views and nice balcony
Rooms need fans in bathrooms and bedrooms.
In our room the air conditioning was leaking on the television. Television did not work this wasnât a problem for us but might be for someone else.
This hotel has good access to beautiful falls if you like a little hike down and back about 20 minutes down to the falls. You will have to take a taxi to town if youâre not good to walk. The hike back to the hotel is very steep.
