We just came back from our stay in Montezuma. We took a quick 30 min Sansa flight to Tambor and got a $40 ride to Montezuma (arranged by our hotel).

We stayed at the Amor de Mar resort right on the water. This is a very understated, multi-generationally owned boutique resort that blew our breaths away when we walked in. The entire staff was attentive and amazing our whole stay. The grounds are impeccable. The views simply breathtaking. The on-site restaurant serves a delicious breakfast (not included, but billed to your room.) Honestly, their website does them no justice.

The resort sits just outside of town, directly across from the entrance to Montezuma Falls. It’s an easy walk to the quaint small town center that is Montezuma. We visited a variety of restaurants, bars, shops, and took many trips to the grocery store to stock up on alcohol, snacks, and other necessities.

While there we took a surfing lesson with Surf School by the Wave (arranged by the hotel) for $65/person. Hiked to Montezuma Falls (free) which I would classify as moderate difficulty (because I am not a hiker) and spent some time swimming in the cool waters. Our last day there the manager suggested we take a ride to Cálala restaurant in Cabuya where we spent the day lounging by the beach, swimming in the pool, and eating and drinking to our hearts content. It was a perfect last day.

We were in Montezuma for a friend’s wedding. Corina, the manager of the resort, perfectly planned my friend’s wedding. Everything went off without a hitch. My friend could not have asked for a better wedding day (week).

I cannot speak highly enough about Amor de Mar, their entire staff, the people and town of Montezuma, and our entire vacation overall. It was a solid 10/10.

We recently stayed at this paradise away from home and I cannot express how beautiful and relaxing our whole experience was. We stayed in the Casa Luna villa and the first morning I awoke I went out on the porch and thought I had died and gone to heaven! It is breathtaking! We met Ori and her beautiful daughter and also her son who is a local potter. They were charming and so enjoyable. Casa Luna was gorgeous and comfortable. My wife and I slept in one of the smaller air conditioned rooms downstairs while my son and daughter in law had the upstairs bed. To be honest, when we were at the villa we spent most of our time on the balcony and front porch. Otherwise we were exploring all the amazing sights of Montezuma and Costa Rica. We ate breakfast onsite and have to say it was quite delicious and about average price for the area. One note of advice...keep all food in the provided plastic tote,! Be sure to close the windows when you are gone and also at night. We learned the hard way when a monkey come thru an open window and stole a loaf of bread! I could go on and on about our experiences just believe me, you will not be disappointed! Hotel Amor de mar is a dream and we should all have this dream at least once in our lifetimes! We are planning our next stay as I write this!
