Right in the heart of town with the beach only steps away. Small town so could walk anywhere from this location. Staff was friendly. Nice indoor and outdoor eating facility. Food was excellent. Park right across the street and often monkeys were present. Highly recommend.

Our room was quite dark and had a bad smell.
Being able to use the amenities at Ylang Ylang was really great. Our kids enjoyed the pool at Ylang Ylang and hung out with capuchin monkeys for hours.
The food at the Sano Banano Restaurant was very good.

Good location, steps to beach and where the tour operators meet. After 3 weeks touring the pacific coast from La Cruz to Montezuma, the beach was a bit disappointing. The town itself is small, but pretty cool. Lots of dining options within a few minutes walk. More if you want to drive. My room was clean, but very dark. Windows faced the hallway. Decent bed with comfortable bedding. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Can’t say much about the restaurant because I didn’t eat there. A frig in the room would have been nice.

We loved our stay at the Sano Banano. Our room was clean and very adequate. The food at the restaurant was beyond excellent. We loved the location and accessibility to the beach, town and roads. This would be our first choice if we every are in the area again.

Really nice budget option. rooms were comfortable (though our room did not have a window to the outside, just to a hall way). the hotel is in the center of the small town, so you can walk anywhere. Plus they are owned by resort nearby which gives you access privilege to their pool and beach views. I would recommend this place.

Centrally located, interesting decor excellent breakfast except for the picayuneishness of charging for a second cup of coffee. Most hotels of this nature have free refills, and often have 24-hour free coffee.

This hotel is overpriced. It is not awful, but $75 per night for what is offered is absurd. The good points are the comfortable beds and the efficient air conditioning. The restaurant also does pretty good food and some of the servers are excellent. In fact the place is rather better as a restaurant than it is a hotel. Our double-double room was much too small for the two beds that occupied it. The room felt like a cave: cornflake-coloured, textured walls with a window that only looked out on to the corridor. The curtains have to be permanently closed for privacy, meaning that the only option is harsh lighting. There is no wardrobe, only some very high hooks; and the shelves double as bedside tables. This furniture is also between the beds, making everything feel even more enclosed. The safe keypad was broken, so we were given the master key with our room key, which meant we had to anxiously take care of both. There is nowhere for luggage except the floor. There is no shelf in the shower. The toilet was tiny and the cheap, flimsy seat did not stay up properly. We were only given one hand soap for a four day stay. Towels were blue, which is always less appealing than fresh, clean white ones. On some days the facecloths were not replaced. There is no television or fridge. There is no free tea or coffee. To top it off the rooms meant phone reception is non-existent and the WiFi was unreliable. All in all it felt more like a good quality hostel at a ridiculous price.

Sano Banano serves the best food in town in their beautiful garden restaurant-- breakfast, lunch and dinner were all amazing. The staff is over-the-top friendly, aims to please, welcoming and efficient. The hotel rooms upstairs, however, leave much to be desired, unless all you want is a bed and a shower and ac. Our room had no closet or cabinet (except a bookshelf) nor any place to put our bags except the second bed. Since we are traveling in CR for two months, we have significant baggage and it was difficult to keep things organized. There are 5 pegs on the wall for hanging wet swimsuits and towels. No nightstands and very poor lighting and sparse outlets, oddly-placed. A delightful scene and the 'headboard', are painted on the wall, and the only window opened into the hall. We had to keep the curtain closed for security and privacy, so had no daylight at all in the room. We were happy to get fresh towels somedays and the floors swept of the inevitable sand tracked in from the beach. We appreciated the safe in the room. My suggestion would be to remove the second double bed and use the space to add a chair and a dresser or closet.The best ammenity, in addition to the food, was access to Ylang Ylang, a gorgeous sister resort 15 minutes' walk up the beach. We took full advantage of the beautiful pool with food and bar service. The landscaping, breathtaking scenery and entertaining wildlife there were a delight-- all combined, we had a really fun five days in Montezuma.

We wish we could have stayed here longer!! We booked one night here as a stopover point to take the ferry and head to Jaco the next day. We had no idea Playa Montezuma was such a fun special place! We ate wonderful food at the restaurant, had delicious drinks, shopped at the street vendors, explored the gorgeous beaches, and made some beautiful friends all in one night!! The room was small and had no view, but the town and service were so warm and welcoming, we would definitely stay here again.

Very friendly and helpful front staff. Great location walking within town and to the beach. Beautiful back garden to sit and have meals. Good place to stay if you want to be centrally located. Great surprise you could even go to their sister hotel and use the pool!! :). (Iguana walked through garden)
