Monkeys and birds greet you along with an amazing view of the sunrise. A short walk to the water falls and Butterfly Brewery. The owner is a sweetheart and her hotel shows that. Everything about my stay was great ##### Peter Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvia Jan 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay, cute and relaxing! Close to the waterfall, friendly helpful staff, very clean rooms and easy parking. Amazing breakfast. After reading some reviews we were a little worried about the place, but it was not the case. Would highly recommend this place. If you are driving you can park right beside the hotel. If you are walking it would certainly be a trek, but the whole area is like that. ##### Sylvia Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisha Nov 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We loved the property itself however it was difficult getting into the parking as it is a very narrow dirt road with large bumps, the water was also not working and we needed tubs of water to flush, now sink water or shower water. Views were incredible! ##### Elisha Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa Jul 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A beautiful small quiet hotel in the middle of the jungle!

Pool was murky, breakfast was simple , room was not cleaned everyday. On a steep hill so could not walk back from town, needed a taxi ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Anita Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The property itself had a nice view but there was garbage around the property. Walkway to property for pedestrians was a hanging bridge, if your scared of heights you’ll have to walk the long way around. The tile at the start of the bridge on the property side was slippery, myself & others almost fell. Was an okay experience overall. ##### Anita Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce Sep 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The property has a LOT of potential, the landscaping needs more plants to hide pipes, and dead vines need out of the trees. The driveway into the hotel needs some dirt to fill in ruts. Swinging bridge needs lights in the night. The positive the hotel has a nice view, the rooms were clean, the staff was very nice. ##### Bruce Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### carol Apr 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Better be in great shape I think there should have been more of an emphasis on the many stairs that one needed to negotiate. Some of us seniors are young at heart, but not in the greatest shape. I for instance could not negotiate the stairs without my husbands help. ##### carol Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joshua Aug 9, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I found a dead lizard in my room. Another lizard kept coming into my room from the heat exchange housing. There was construction on the property from 7AM-4PM everyday. And the walls definitely were not sound proofed. ##### Joshua Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### JAMES Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service My wife and I recently stayed 6 nights at the Sunshine Sanctuary. There were things that we loved & things we feel would make for a better experience. We Loved… Location is exceptional!! We especially enjoyed breakfasts in the lookout where you felt like you were living in a treehouse with all the animals that CR offers. A variety of daily breakfasts. Rooms are spacious with a great view. Easy trail access to waterfalls. What would’ve made for a better experience… Better quality linens. Towels were a bit thin & rough. The building was under construction so there was no Yoga studio which wasn’t communicated prior to our arrival. Poor Wi-Fi in rooms. The cable service (TV) did not work for the first 4 nights. The room was spacious but lacked hooks to hang bathing suits, etc. A retractable close line in the shower would have been fine. Most importantly…we would definitely stay here again! ##### JAMES Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We enjoyed our stay a lot. We really loved this property. Location: it is a little out of the town, not by much but it is a steep hill to climb, so if you don't like a bit of a walk this is not the place for you. It has 2 access points, 1 by vehicle and 1 by foot. We read reviews about the vehicle access being concerning if you didnt have a 4v4. We had a Yaris and managed just fine. It is not a paved access road, but that is similar to most of Costa Rica. Walking access is available over a suspension bridge across the gorge. Only people at the hotel have a key to access the bridge. The views are amazing, from the balcony, the pool and the breakfast area. You also get free access to a paid trail down to the waterfall. It is about a 10-20 minute walk down to the main town/beach area. Room: spacious, clean. Extremely comfortable beds. The shower was big. Balcony's all overlooking the gorge and water. Pool: on the smaller side but the deck over looks the forest and you are in the canopy. You can see the coastline. Breakfast: was delicious. They have a set menu for the week. We had french toast the first day and scrambled eggs with avocado and toast and pinto gallo. Overall a lovely stay! I recommend! ##### Louise Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roxanne Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Petit hôtel de 6 chambres, isolé, chemin difficile d'accès. Débris de construction dans le stationnement, peu d'employés, piscine moyennement propre. Déjeuner delicieux. Vu spectaculaire. Proximité du mini centre-ville de Montezuma. 30 min de Santa Teresa ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/80619ced-e639-4c61-b238-aa14b67f51fa-1755443703216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9f462e83-b2bb-4e57-92e9-904604b7502e-1755443702216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7291cfb-2356-4e6a-94ff-5f2627464c45-1755443703323.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31076a5e-e994-43e9-aea6-cf3f7abc781f-1755443704000.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roxanne Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Franklin Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lindo hotel con vistas de lujo Lindo hotel inmerso en las colinas de Montezuma, con una hermosa vista y fácil acceso a la catarata.

Point faible: la piscine n'était pas propre et le filtreur n'a jamais fonctionné les 3 jours ou nous etions là. Le wifi ne fonctionnait pas dans notre chambre. Les installations et équipements ont besoins de rafraîchissement. ##### Nathy Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine Apr 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Il faut être assez autonome, car le personnel n’est pas souvent présent ! Le déjeuner est vraiment excellent. L’accès à la chute gratuitement est vraiment agréable! Les installations tel que la piscine et la cuisine sont des plus. À quatre, nous avons trouvé qu’il commençait à y manquer un peu d’espace de rangement. En gros, nous avons vraiment apprécié notre séjour et la vue est magnifique ! ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ray Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allen Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful jungle retreat on the hill above Montezuma. Limited number of rooms, bright and airy. Clean, with mini fridge and a complete kitchen below an open air dining with a great ocean view patio where a nice breakfast was served daily. Laundry is available for a fee. Access is up a steep, potholed road just out of town. Turnoff to lodge is a narrow dirt with ample parking. A trail head leading to upper falls with swimming is right out the door. Staff is outstanding and the owner was from the State where I live. Some erosion control work was being done during our visit and only a minor distraction. Highly recommended if your in the Montezuma area. ##### Allen Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Intimate small hotel with beautiful views of the ocean and tropical landscape (monkeys come visit you at the balcony). Staff and owner go beyond to make you feel at home. You do need a car (as there are no Ubers/taxi readily available). Access to the waterfall was a plus! ##### Ana Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karine Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Un peu difficile à trouver et une route cabossée mais ça vaut le détour. Un endroit paradisiaque. Un accueil chaleureux et un petit-déjeuner excellent avec vue sur l'océan et sur merveilleuse piscine. Je recommande. ##### karine Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Rogers Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Centre-Hotels.0-l503145-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Barbados-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d16-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides)
