We stayed at Casitas for four nights in April. We were immediately stunned by the beautiful view of the Pacific. The first thing we did was jump in the pool! It was a very pleasant place to relax and enjoy the lovely view. We had booked the apartment, but something was wrong with it so they bumped us up to a 2 bedroom villa. The villa itself was basic, which it looks like most of the places in Montezuma are. It was clean upon arrival, although as always, be careful about ants! We forgot to close our cereal bag completely and we woke up the next morning with ants in it. We were very satisfied with our choice after seeing other places in the Montezuma area. The Casitas are just outside of Montezuma (which we were really happy about), there was always a nice breeze, and it was a lovely place to come back to after a long day playing in the sun and surf. I would recommend the Casitas for anyone looking for a lovely place to spend time in Montezuma and relax with a beautiful view!

I spent 6 days in one of the villas with some friends. We found some cheap plane tickets and decided to get away from New England for a little bit.

This place was the perfect contrast to being cramped up in a tiny Brooklyn apartment on a chilly, rainy April day. The managers were great and very helpful, giving us suggestions and rides down to Montezuma. They showed us a private path to the town's breathtaking waterfalls and helped us find a boat tour to Isla Tortuga at the last minute.

Montezuma is an interesting and small town--definitely worth checking out. But Casitas Sollevante is an incredible place in its own right. There's a pool and hot tub where you can lounge and gaze at the ocean in the distance. Or you can float around and see the many stars at night. The grounds surrounding the villas and apartments are filled with beautiful plants and well-kept grass and paths.

Our villa had air-conditioning in the bedrooms, so we were able to get some nice, cool sleep. There was a full kitchen for some cooking-in (there are only so many restaurants in Montezuma!) as well as a coffee maker, safebox and TV. The latter is kind of unnecessary, though, because staring at a screen seems ludicrous when there's such a wonderful view right outside.

What an experience! Had two nights in Montezuma centre and then treated ourselves to two nights in Casitas. After staying next to the ocean for two nights and listening to the waves, it was a pleasant change to sleep in an air conditioned room, enjoy a hot shower and wake up with the view, not sound of the ocean :) It was a complete relaxation - the hammock and the view is the perfect combination and if you feel like doing some exercise, the pool is just nearby.

My husband and I just returned from a 2 week stay at Sollevante . We rented one of the villas. We have been to Costa Rica 5 times and this by far was the best trip ever. Staying at Sollevante was what made the trip so perfect. The web site doesn't do the place justice. It is gorgeous! The grounds are beautifully maintained, the casitas are in excellent condition, well maintained, cleaned daily with great care. Marco the owner, is very kind and accommodating. The staff are all exceptional people, helpful, kind and caring.

It is very quiet and thoughtfully landscaped creating privacy for every casita. The views of the ocean are astounding . It is very close to town, yet off the main road so it is quiet and not dusty(which can be quite an annoyance if you're too close to the road).
We love to cook and made all our meals there. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I can't say enough about how much I loved staying here. We are definitely coming back and bringing more family with us. This place is too awesome to keep to ourselves...and can easily accommodate large groups. It would be perfect for a family reunion.
