Kalibo is located just outside of the town center of Montezuma and isn't in the most attractive spot. It is across the street from the ocean but also from the bus stop, where the plodding local buses often pull in. It is also, like so many restaurants in Montezuma, completely overtaken by flies. However, it has fresh and completely delicious... More

We spotted this little gem of a restaurant on our way to drop off our laundry up the road and decided to try it out for dinner in the evening. It turned out to be the best decision of our time in Montezuma. Really excellent food, and we came back the next day for more. On the first evening we... More

I fell there just for curiosity and I felt immediately the pura vida's style of Costa Rica. They have really good tuna fillet and a wide menu, but the best was the service, because they are worried about details. The best choice in Montezuma.

Signature smoothie is avocado, mango and coconut milk -- mmm! Nice for a light breakfast and one of only a handful of places where we found good coffee in Montezuma.

For a late breakfast we enjoyed a piece of banana bread ,which was by far above average and fresh from the oven . They also offer a variety of caffeinated options including espresso and cappuccino . Their shakes and natural juices filled... More

As it says on other posts here if you are in anything other than the most patient mood don't go in here. I actually felt very sorry for the one waitress they had on as she was running around looking after all the tables, however after an hour and a half we had not had our starters my sympathy was...

My gf and I went to Kalibo and enjoyed our meal. I had the seafood soup which was quite good (ask for no butter though ;) trust me) and she had the ceviche. Definitely a good place to stop by in Montezuma.

The service was VERY slow, and we even had to go ask where our meals were after half an hour's wait (and there were only three other customers!) I ordered a burger, and the beef was one of those frozen ready-made burgers, which I guess was frozen one time too many, as I got an instant reaction and ran to... More
