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!

We enjoyed our stay a lot.

I wouldn't stay anywhere else after staying here!

Sunshine Sanctuary is a beautiful property, with gracious and helpful staff. Staff were very helpful with transportation as we did not have a car. Being so close to the waterfall was delightful, and the views were amazing! Tours to Tortuga can be picked up right at Montezuma beach. As others have noted, it is a steep hill, making one think twice about making the journey more than once a day.

Beautiful views and nice balcony Rooms need fans in bathrooms and bedrooms.In our room the air conditioning was leaking on the television. Television did not work this wasn’t a problem for us but might be for someone else.This hotel has good access to beautiful falls if you like a little hike down and back about 20 minutes down to the falls. You will have to take a taxi to town if you’re not good to walk. The hike back to the hotel is very steep.

Interesting place to stay with one access via a footbridge! Large clean room with balcony (beware of monkeys if you leave anything outside!). View of valley & ocean. Sml pool to cool off in. Good breakfast served on the roof top terrace overlooking the valley & ocean & plenty of wildlife to see at the same time. Very helpful owner. Parking available. Bonus: Short walk to the top of the waterfall for a swim & great brewery by the entrance for food & drinks. Only downside its partway up a very steep hill if visiting the town.

Great views with wildlife

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.

Sunshine Sanctuary in Montezuma, Costa Rica, is an absolute nirvanic paradise. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the beautiful art and decor were a delight. Everything I needed was included in the room: a safe, television, mini fridge, and cold, crisp water. My favorite part of my room was my private balcony, immersed in the jungle and overlooking the ocean; it left me breathless as I took in the beauty and wildlife around me! The highlight of my mornings was the delicious daily breakfast and coffee—the variety of options and fresh, locally sourced ingredients made waking up a delightful experience. The aromatic coffee topped with cinnamon perfectly complemented the scrumptious breakfast, setting the tone for a day filled with exploration and adventure.

One of the most memorable experiences was the gorgeous hike to a stunning waterfall. The sanctuary's location amidst lush rainforests provided the perfect backdrop for this awe-inspiring trek. The breathtaking cascade and refreshing pool at the end of the hike were unforgettable, and I cherished every moment of jumping into the pool and connecting with nature's beauty. Another highlight of the sanctuary is Panorama, the open-air bar overlooking the jungle and ocean. It offers a tranquil setting to unwind and relish the picturesque scenery. Sipping refreshing beverages while gazing at the panoramic views was a treat for the senses. Last but certainly not least, the Sunshine Sanctuary has a fantastic hanging bridge. This walking bridge provides a unique vantage point to marvel at the surrounding landscapes overlooking the canopy. Sunshine Sanctuary is an oasis of natural wonders and comforts that exceeded all my expectations. It leaves me eager to return and visit with the kind staff and explore even more of its enchanting offerings.



A oasis of natural wonders & perfect place to stay in Montezuma!

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!

I had an awesome experience staying in this beautiful hotel. Ocean view was magnificent. 5 minutes walk to a beautiful waterfall. Hotel is in the middle of jungle , easy to spot wmonkeys and birds.
Very friendly and helpful host. Absolutely recommending 

Beautiful hotel. Best ocean view in town. Friendly host.

This was a very nice place to stay but wasn’t super clean and the breakfast was just a bowl of fruit. But it was very cute and the property was awesome with the bridge and waterfall.
