I came to stay to Cassitas Sollevante for a week at the beginning of December and found the experience very pleasant. It's located up in the hills out of town and has an amazing view over the ocean. The place has a lot of space and a pool and a very peaceful atmosphere. The house is nicely set out, simple, but has everything necessary including a fully functioning kitchen. Bright colours, hot showers and clean, this is definitely the place to come and chill.

I stayed in Casitas Sollevante for the Easter break and I have to say that this has probably been the best holiday I have had in years. We stayed in a couple of other hotels downtown but we usually found them very noisy and the level of humidity was very uncorfomtable at night time. We decided to stay a bit further away from the city so we found Casitas Sollevante which is located right on top of a hill overlooking Montezuma, the air is much fresher as you are surrounded by the rainforest and the 180 degrees view of the ocean is simply amazing!!!plus Montezuma is only a few hundreds of metres away if you wanna enjoy the nightlife. The apartments are fully furnished and you have everything you need there so sometimes we were inviting our friends over for dinner and then going to the jacuzzi to relax. what an amazing experience! I have already booked my xmas holidays here for the next year.

What a GREAT place! we stayed at Sollevante in March for one month and everything was absolutely perfect. The lodging, which overlooked the sea, was tidy and clean and perfectly fitted to the natural enviroment. We liked a lot being out of the village and noise, since for the first time we could experience a lifestyle we had found nowhere before. We got the impression we were guests of Nature, in a place where human beings live together with animals and plants in perfect harmony. Every morning we woke up at 6 to enjoy a moving dawn and waited for the Urraca bird, which came to rest on our table. Behind Sollevante there is a path to the waterfalls, so everyday we had beautiful strolls through the forest searching for monkeys, parrots and many different animals. When we were too tired to walk we asked Alvarado, who always give assistance to guests, to call us a taxi or to take us to the village.
We consider our experience as absolutely positive.
Our advice is to go to Sollevante!

I really came to this place expecting so much more.. I was misinformed by the distance this place iwas to the town of Montezuma and to the facilities there. I was told that the pool would be done by December 2007, but it was far from finished when we got there.. There was construction every day starting at 6am.. and it was LOUD!... also the road is so awfu to town... there are NO cabs that take you to town or back... we had to hitch-hike... or walk.. there are NO lights on the road and it was at least a 20-30 min walk up a VERY steep, dirt road. My friend lost her shoe becasue we were walking back to sollevante at like 9 pm in the pitch dark and a car was coming up the hill, and it's impossible for cars to see you on the road..so we ran casue we were scared with no shoe!
One of the nights we came back to no lights or water. after a very tiring and sweaty day...The woman Carla also only helped till she got paid. The first day she gave us a ride to twon.. after we gave her money.. we didn't hear from her again.. we saw her in town where she ignored us... We wired 50% of the payment from new york and our bank charged us a fee to do this.. when we gave her the other 50% she charged us a fee because her bank charged her... but there is no other way to pay her!.. it ended up being a lot more than we thought it would
Honestly this place looks lile it WILL be nice.. after all the construction is done.. and maybe they have a shuttle or something to town..i think they are not used to have people there, which is why the service was terrible... we ran out of toilet paper after the first day...
save yourslef a lot of trouble and stay in town near the beach...
