This place was great. It had the best breakfasts, the nicest rooms, the best service - and unlike many other hotels, it actually looks like it does in the pictures. But the best part for me was that it was comfortable enough to feel like home. Aside from a very, very steep hill (ok down- maybe 15 minutes, not ok... More

We only stayed here one night (as our time in Montezuma was spur of the moment & limited), but it was just what the relaxation doctor ordered! The B&B is nestled atop a hill just far away enough from the "town" area which offers quite a bit of tranquility. The only sounds are the monkeys in the morning, the jungle... More

We stayed here for 5 nights at the beginning of september and loved it. The accomodations are very comfortable, modern and clean with free Wifi and satellite tv. Breakfast served every morning was awesome. Wholesome meals made fresh every day, and served to you just like it were a restaurant. The hosts ryan and josh were very friendly and informative... More

We've travelled throughout Costa Rica - Montezuma was a great place to visit - because of the Mariposario Gardens. Nice & clean - and a great location up the hill and away from the noisy town. (awesome walk up the hill a great workout :)) Folks that run the place are amazing! Thanks to Josh, Rene, Phil & the rest... More

Booked for 3 nights, stayed a 4th. Service from Josh and the students working at the butterfly farm was exemplary. Was offered several lifts into Montezuma when weather hit us one night with a fine electrical storm, and to get down to the fast ferry to Jaco. Even put on some of my favourite music for me at breakfast (I... More

Pura Vida, our recent visit, to Montezuma and Montezuma Garden, was the most relaxing and wonderful vacation one could have ever imagined or dreamed of, on so many levels. Time slowed down, the weather was perfect, the people friendly and the food was healthy, fresh and awesome. Montezuma Gardens was peaceful, clean, comfortable and Ryan and Josh were the best... More

We stayed here in 2009 and enjoyed it so much that we came back in January 2011. This is a terrific B&B on the hill away from the noise of Montezuma but close enough to enjoy it. The rooms are clean and the butterfly garden is beautiful. Josh and Ryan are great hosts and the breakfasts are healthy and delicious.... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location, up the hill, out of the main "drag" was peaceful and Josh and Ryan were great hosts. Andrea was also very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were a really great start to the day and they served fab coffee. A must for any morning for us. We did not have a car but... More

We recently spent 4 nights at Montezuma Butterfly Gardens, and had a wonderful stay. Every one of the staff were friendly, helpful, and easy going. Our room was clean, the bathroom was immaculate, and the bed was cozy. Our room overlooked the Mariposario, which was a treat when sitting out on the lanai reading a book. We overheard the howler...

Our stay at the Mariposario could not have been more pleasant. The owners, Ryan and Josh, were very accommodating and welcoming. Andrea who was at the front desk and served breakfast was very pleasant and a source of information. Rosa, the cook, is an expert in preparing delicious and attractive meals. Summer is a delightful child and with the perfect... More
