Top 7 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Montezuma, Costa Rica

May 13, 2023 Sachiko Swiger

North of Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve and south of Tambor Bay, along a forested sandy bay, Montezuma has numerous beaches, waterfalls, good fishing, seafood, surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling. Playa Las Manchas is popular for snorkeling, though you need to be mindful of riptides as you gaze at the parrotfish, rays, puffers, and needlefish. The kids will like exploring the colorful rocks and tide pools at Playa Rocas. Beachfront cantinas, bars, and restaurants are plentiful in Montezuma. Playa de los Artistas on the Montezuma beachfront serves sushi, pizza, and vegetarian dishes by lantern light at driftwood tables on smooth sand floors beneath bamboo lattice ceilings. Playa Montezuma hosts the fishing fleet. Hike half an hour to the endless sands of Playa Grande to swim, surf, boogie board, or sunbathe nude where the waves are big and the currents less strong. Horseback ride, bike, or hike the beachfront path north towards Playa Cocolito, where El Chorro waterfall tumbles into the rocky ocean. Follow the river upstream from the beach to find more waterfalls for swimming. Playa Los Cedros, a small scenic beach flanked by a waterfall and large banyan tree near Cabuya, has a right-handed point break favored by experienced surfers when the south swells get going good. The beaches and tropical forests at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve are protected as a national park. Surf at nearby Mal Pais, Playa Santa Teresa, or Playa Carmen. Surf camps can teach you the basics.

Magical place to immerse yourself in nature

Reviewed By 439lali

We were immersed in nature during our visit at the magical howlers monkey hotel - (HMH} The end place of 1 month vacation to CR. We planned to stay at HMH for 1 day and extended it to 4 days. Los monos auyadores and capuchins came to visit almost everyday along with iguanas , papagayos, frigates and thousand of pelicans. The host (jim) - a truly Irish man at heart , who fell in love with cabuya about 20 years ago- made his place our home. Nicko is a young Denmark handsome men who came as tourist and then decided to stay and help jim at the hotel for now. He cooked awesome pancakes for breakfast. Not sure about his recipe: a little bit of bananas, yogurt, maybe berries, cinnamon? vanilla? but them were excellent. By the way, I taught him to cook scrambled eggs (my humble contribution). Not to forget federico (el curandero or shaman) who is fixing the place and on his free time collects herbs and seeds from the jungle to make teas and lotions to drink and apply to the skin to cure different illnesses, rashes, and to make you a bit happier. In America is called alternative medicine. Too summarize we had such an amazing time there that we recommend 100 % this place to you only if you love respect nature and you want to share close encounters with animals (as this is their place not ours).

Exactly what Costa Rica should be

Reviewed By RGVD

I can't imagine a better place to spend time in than Cabuya -- and in Cabuya Lodge specifically. Our hosts were fluent in English and Spanish and were generous beyond measure. Accommodations were clean, comfortable, and convenient. With their connections to other local businesses, we at the yoga retreat had access to myriad activities and the taxis to take us there. Even if one were to remain in Cabuya and not venture to nearby Montezuma, the Lodge's yoga chalet is magical, the massage therapist is gifted, the surrounding area boasts of a nearby beach for exploration and fine cafès within walking distance. While we were there, proprietors Mandy and Johanne were exceptional hosts, with just the right amount of hands-on attention. Even better -- I know that they are committed to the prosperity of local families and they reinvest in the community. Since Cabuya is in the Nicoya Peninsula (a Blue Zone!) the food and its service, really, was a highlight for me. The choices of simple, delicious, local dishes were meaningful. I would return just to have another great meal.

Aves Hotel & Resort

Blissful Stay at the Aves Hotel

Reviewed By 502dons

We stayed one night at the Aves Hotel, after a long day that began in San Jose, and included the ferry from Puntarenas. When we arrived, the first thing that struck us was how lush the vegetation was on site. It really stuck out, give the overall arid look of Montezuma at the end of March. Once we were escorted to our room, we have other treats for our senses. The sight of the pool off our ample balcony, and the sound of the howler monkeys in the nearby jungle helped us relax after the long travel day. The room(s) were great, and the bed was super comfortable. After a peaceful night’s rest, we enjoyed a morning swim and breakfast on the balcony. Unfortunately, we had to get back on the road. It would have been easy to kick back for another day at the Aves!

Great house with lush green gardens and nice view. Really nice host! Tasty fruit at breakfast. Amazing birdwatching & monkeys interaction in the surroundings of the house! It is 30 minutes (steep) walking from the center of Montezuma but we really enjoy the walks!

Una excelente relación calidad-precio

Reviewed By MariaM12599

Una estadía genial, confortable con todo lo necesario en la habitacion, honestamente llenó mis espectativas por lo pagado, nosotros éramos 4 viajando dormimos comodamente y disfrutamos mucho del lugar. Buen servicio al cliente :) Piscina y jardines en buen estado, la cocina compartida fue un plus cuando viajas por varios dias. Si volviera por el área sin duda me alojaría nuevamente!
