Montezuma

Loved the location! Amazing views and walking to everything, including the waterfall (wear good shoes!). The staff was super friendly. And we enjoyed our neighbors from Canada.
This hotel is rustic, which we don't mind. 
The cons were the shower head was covered in mold, and Saturday night I got very little sleep with the night club booming. Bring ear plugs and turn on white noise. Also, suggest hotel provide Do Not Disturb signs when room service is not desired.
IMPORTANT... next door there is a comfortable shared shuttle ($10 per person) to Santa Teresa, easier than bus and cheaper than taxi - Cabo Blanco Travelers. I would avoid driving. Note: the shuttle last pick up is 6pm.
On Saturday is a little market, which is fun.
We rented an ATV through Pacific Dirt Road to cruise Mal Pias, Santa Teresa and more. They were fabulous, and will drop off the ATV if you're renting for multile days.
So glad we stayed in Montezuma!  More quaint and Santa Teresa is really dusty due to dirt roads.

Great location!

It's a small family hotel with six and seven rooms in the middle of the village, and it's comfortable for only 57 euros, which is a good price for the place, and it has a few free parking spaces.

A small spot to recommend

A comfortable, clean, well-located hotel in front of the sea and in the village center in the rooms where the sea is heard at night and the views are beautiful on the first floor friendly and cordial personal stay recommended to spend a night.

Nice hotel, good value for money

The Mar Y Cielo is a great find if you are looking for an amazing location but don't mind a very basic room.  The location really can’t be beat if you want to be on the ocean.  You can sit on your patio and watch the waves crash in and listen to the sound of the sea in the dark.  It is not right on the beach, but the town beach is right next to the parking area.  In front of the hotel is beautiful rocks you can explore at low tide.  You can also walk to the main beach in minutes from the room on the rocks or through town.  There is a restaurant on the beach right next door for lunch or dinner on the beach.  It really is wonderful.  

But, it may not be be for everyone.  The rooms are very basic, are a little dark and old, no A/C, and are really more back packer than tourist.  Tico families also stay there, some rooms have three beds so a larger family can stay.  The showers were not always hot, but after a day in the hot sun a warm shower was a pleasure.  It could be very hot at night and we used two floor fans to sleep, as well as the ceiling fan when we were in the room during the day.  It is not so great to hang around the room, but it is great to sit on the patio and watch the ocean.  The wifi is OK, I had troubles at some times, but mostly it worked.

Also, it can be noisy at night - Chico’s Bar is more or less next door and there can be music until 3 AM.  It is not loud and pounding music, and it was not every night, but it was there.  There is no idyllic quiet like in an out of town hotel.  We stayed on the side of the building nearest Chico’s so it may not be so bad on the other end of the building.  

Parking is great - your own private parking area down a little narrow alley, right outside the building.  Victor was very friendly and helpful.  We were on the second floor which had great views - first floor rooms would not be as nice, but maybe they wold be cooler.  The rooms have small basic fridges, which we very much appreciated, and a big safe.  Don’t leave food out or your door open at night with the light on or you will attract bugs.  It does not provide breakfast but there are several good places to eat within a few minute walk, which we preferred to having to eat in the same place every morning.  

It is right in the heart of Montezuma which we just loved.  It is a very hip and chill town with several places to eat, a few souvenir shops and grocery stores which were well stocked.  Lots of young hippies with glazed over looks hanging around the street selling hand made bracelets but it really had a gentle feel to it, not dark or edgy in any way.  Some very good restaurants at nights, some only fair, but there is no lack of places to eat.  Montezuma is very close to many wonderful beaches and the famous waterfall, all within walking distance.  No banks or gas stations, stock up in Cobano, but every place takes credit cards, contrary to what some travel books say.  Also easy to drive to Malpais or Santa Theresa, but frankly, Montezuma is much more pleasant, so save the time and hang out in Montezuma.  It may also be a great break from Jaco - there is a water taxi service that lands on the beach in front of the hotel and you don’t need a car, so you may want to take a break from the big tourist town for a small laid back beach town.

Wonderful stay - 5* location but very basic.

Its privileged location on the seafront with garden hammocks and parking space is a luxury. Once inside they have no air and the window has no glass... so if you hear everything and it's hot. If you plan on partying and sleeping little it's perfect. If you want to rest you'll have until 3am. The price is very cheap. There's no breakfast or place for it.

It could be a luxury.

It's a great little hotel by the sea. We had the triple room. There are hammocks, BBQ, outdoor shower, the staff are super nice. The fds is a little noisy because of the bar right next door but it's fine. Montezuma is splendid, hippie and festive!!! I literally fell in love with this place!!

That's great.

The cabins are small and quite basic with no wardrobes or drawer space, so expect literally to live from your suitcase. The room we stayed was at ground level with direct access to a small garden of tropical plants and a selection of 3/4 hammocks and an outside BBQ area. The garden literally meets the shore line and at high tide, the sea is genuinely at the garden perimeter. If you want the sound of the sea, a stunning view without any obstacles blocking your line of sight, literally straight out to the Pacific - then this is the place for you. What more could you ask, a hammock swinging in the palms looking out to the ruby red sunset over the Pacific Ocean... this is bliss!

As said, the room we stayed was basic and limited space, but very clean, comfortable and two large fans provided with a fridge and a coffee maker and a safe. Bathroom is functional and clean and the shower is adequate. Nothing to complain about - just a very beautiful location and a clean, tidy room and a very friendly owner.

Check in at the souvenir shop on arrival by the side of the small alley way next to the small grocery supermarket.There is a great bar open late close by called 'Bar Chicos' which has a late night licence but the music wasn't a problem. We were here slightly off season in November and I was told that Montezuma does become a lot busier in peak season and the cabins can get full quickly. There are other choices of cabin, with three beds and a little more space and an apartment to the rear but without the stunning views. Security guard at night, very friendly, watched over the apartments but to be honest I saw no crime or problems, in fact there's no police in Montezuma - just a chilled, laid back, very friendly bunch of locals, always helpful. The beaches are literally at your doorstep, a few restaurants and shops but everything is on the small size in Montezuma. We will certainly be back, this is truly a little piece of paradise.
Great value for money. Thanks Nury, Gracias and Pura Vida :-)

This is paradise - Basic rooms right on the shore line - Stunning views

We loved this little hotel. Tres clean, the laundry is changed every day, the housekeeping is done in the rooms every day. Looking at the ocean, it's true that we hear the waves but it's very nice. We spent three nights there, the village is out of time, very few tourists, we go there by tracks, it takes at least two hours from the ferry.

I loved this cabin. Very atypical.

The hotel is located right in the centre of the village overlooking the sea. The rooms are beautiful and furnished, large and efficient bathrooms, sheds and terraces with benches to enjoy the sunset. You can go out directly with towels and costume because you are on the beach!! excellent quality-price ratio... The exuberant owner is very excited to convey joy of living!

Nice and cheap

We stayed here for 4 nights. Pluses are- fantastic view of and access to beaches, fridge, safe, large shared balcony, big BBQ and plenty of driftwood to use, pretty gardens with lovely birds and iguanas, big comfortable hammocks, shower and sink in garden for sand removal, washing lines, and close proximity to the town. Less good- not always English speaking staff in "office" (the shop), cabins are dark because of the dark wood walls and sound carries very easily through them, loud music from the nearby bar at night (but not every night and if we shut the bathroom door and turned the fan higher it blocked most of it out!). Also we got a lot of itchy bites,maybe because it was the rainy season and there are pools of water around. We think it was mostly sand midges.
