One of the nicest hotels I have ever seen! The staff was really friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was asolutely perfect. The rooms were nice and clean, the hotel garden wonderful (I loved their hammocks!).

The hotel don't have a swimming pool, but a really nice tide pool instead.

Also the breakfast was really good.

The grounds for this hotel are truly beautiful, and the bungalow we stayed in (Casa Luna) had a quirky charm. But staying over Xmas, we were charged nearly $400 for a place that had several major flaws. Chief among them were the mosquitoes. I passed the worst night of my trip eaten alive because the mosquito nets above the beds did not have clips to seal the area (bitten on the eyes, lips, and every other part of my body). You will need nets. After complaining, they gave us the nets and a 70$ reduction (but it turned out at the end, only for the first night). Moreover, the bungalow is not as large as they make out: it has three super-tiny rooms with a/c, but upstairs, the master bedroom is also a living room, and has no functioning windows. This means that mosquitoes, bats, and other creatures can come in freely. It also means that there is no security against theft from adjoining bungalows. Somebody could simply walk from his or her roof to yours unimpeded. They left a mattress tipped on one side, which we had to ask them to remove. Yes the staff is nice, but this place is charging rates for a place that does not deserve such prices. If you are fussy (like some members of my family), stay away!

I have been visiting Montezuma, Costa Rica every year for more than a decade, and I have always enjoyed staying at Amor de Mar. The grounds and view are magnificent, the hotel is charming and comfortable, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Recently, Ori (the owner) has made some major improvements, and rooms now have air conditioning and new bathrooms. They've even added a new mascot: Solin, the One-Eyed Wonder Dog.

I will start off by saying, this hotel and it's grounds are VERY beautiful. They have a nice open lobby area that you can sit at whenever you want. But, don't be confused this hotel is on the beach but not a swimming beach. The hotel is surrounded by large rocks, so if you want to swim or just sit on the beach, you have to go down the street. Also, the service was not good at all. I (female) was traveling alone with my two younger daughters. When we got to Costa Rica, we found that our phone did not work! We needed to call tech support, so we asked the caucasian lady with blonde hair if we could use their phone to call the USA for help with our phone. She said no, we even offered to pay and they still refused. This was a safety hazard for us and they did nothing to help.
Also, they charged us for just plain water. every. Single. Time.
Also, water pressure is terrible and sink did not dispense hot water.
In addition to that, the hotel was very noisy! Not only did a small rooster wake us up every morning but many cars and motorcycles zoomed past us several times throughout the night.
I would not reccomend this hotel.
