We stayed here a few years ago and loved it.. Our Costa Rica adventure started in Playa Hermosa for our friend's wedding. Then we drove (not as bad as people say) 4 or 5 hours up the coast and across the ferry to Montezuma. Some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen. Checking in at El Jardin was... More

The place was pretty average. Sevice was very good. Our first room the AC was busted, they moved us to another room right away. We were in a room right in front of the pool which is gorgeous and well maintained and, includes a whirlpool. We were stupid tourists, got tipsy and forgot our shoes on top of our car.... More

I stayed here on night in February after taking the taxi boat over from Jaco. I paid $95 for the night which was a notch up from some of the other rooms because it was higher up with veiws. The rooms all have nice decks with hammocks, the AC worked great, the room was very comfortable. The staff was helpful... More

This is my 2nd stay at this hotel....I still stand firm that this is the 2nd best hotel in Montezuma behind the Ylang Lang, but the mattresses are terrible. I was here about 5 years ago, and the beds were old and busted up then...Definitely the same mattresses on this trip. Likewise, you will not be impressed with the bathrooms... More

We showed up in Montezuma with no reservations so walked around and looked at several places before deciding upon here. It is a bit spendy for the area, but it served it's purpose. I've seen several reviews state that the jacuzzi had cold water, but I'm not sure if people realize NO PLACE in Costa Rica heats their jacuzzi's....in CR... More

Upon arriving in Montezuma, my sister and I went to our booked hotel, El Sano Banano. When we were escorted to our room, we discovered that our room was very small, dark and the one window didn't open. As I have claustrophobia that wasn't going to work. The hotel manager was very kind and gave us a full refund. She... More

But all the rooms are OK, AC, Hot water, etc. Everything you need for some days at this gorgeous colorful town. The only bad/scary part of my experience was <the... More

We stayed here over New Year's and absolutely loved it. Location is great to access everything in Montezuma, but not noisy in the poolside rooms. We had one on the upper level with a hammock, sharing the balcony with the room next door. Having the pool and aircon were great options and the rooms were clean. The grounds were beautifully...

This is a lovely hotel with exquisite grounds that reflect the natural beauty of Costa Rica. The staff are pleasant and accommodating. The casitas are charming with a bohemian and tropical feel. The vistas from the casitas are outstanding and the pool side rooms enjoy the beautiful landscapes. Yes, it is a steep climb to one of the casitas but... More

We where four adults, renting one of the houses. The one with two bedsrooms. The location is very good, but Montezuma is such a small place, so any location would be good. We wanted to stay in the house because it had kitchen. The kitchen was nice, clean, quite new. But, the whole house is crooked. And not just a... More
