Casas Colibri is a new spot run by a friendly and genuine English/Costa Rican couple up on the hill above Montezuma. The casas are all immaculate and have a kitchenette too. They are set in a nice garden which is full of birdlife, away from the main road so the place is really peaceful. And the town's baker is across the road! The casas seemed to us to be really good value for money, and although we didn't have a car we got free lifts into and out of town whenever we wanted - the centre of town is only a few minutes by car.

These three small houses each consist of a bedroom, bathroom, porch and kitchen. They are run by a young couple who works very hard to accommodate their guests. The houses are comfortable, beds come with mosquito netting, and the kitchen is stocked with cookware and a fridge.

The location is the only draw-back. It's not on the beach, but it's about a 20-minute walk away if you're stuck there during the day without a ride (not possible to walk back at night without a flash light). The couple running the place also provide rides into town, and they will even pick you up at a requested time. They provide a free tour to the third level of the Montezuma waterfalls (most people have to hike 20 mins. to the first level; this couple will drive you so you only have to hike 5 mins.) and free booking on tours and buses out of Montezuma. If they can't get you back to the hotel, a $5-6 cab ride will. Even though you won't be able to walk right out of your bungalow and onto the beach, the price ($30/night) is well worth the extra planning required in making sure you can get to and from the Casas throughout the day.

You can buy food items in town and wake up and cook a breakfast in the kitchen with provided cookware. The porch makes a great place to enjoy an evening in the country, and you can hear all sorts of wildlife around you throughout the night and day. The porch is also good for getting to know your neighbors, as Montezuma in general attracts very interesting people.

This pace is just up the hill from montezuma and is amazingly clean. The houses are made of cement instead of the usual wood. The house has a spacious bedroom with mosquito nets and big kitchen with fridge cooker, oven and microwave. The owners are super friendly and fun and will show you around montezuma and surroundings with great pleasure! The garden is filled with animals, especially in early mornings, like hummingbirds, deer, monkeys and lots of other birds. We planned to stay for only a couple of days but ended up staying for 6 nights and had an amazing time!

I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere peaceful, romantic and beautiful to just completely chill out in. The houses are all really well located and have gorgeous, lush gardens. When we were there, the lovely young owners Sarah and Michael sorted us out completely recommending lovely waterfalls and beaches to visit (all for free). Our house was also really spacious and very clean, typically tropical too - light, and breezy. Weather was generally fantastic!

Anyway, I never write reviews but we had a superb holiday and i can't wait to go back. AND I really did think this couple were doing an excellent job keeping up the homes to a very high standard and generally being very thoughtful and kind.
