    Perfect location, room was comfy and clean. Victoria was very welcoming. A family run operation, listening to the surface crash and sounds of the downtown lulled us to sleep. Great little outdoor balcony seating too!

    The only downside is, there is no communal kitchen and few budget options to eat out. But there is a fridge and cuttlery you can use for prepare a little breakfast.

    Very nice communal terrace with chairs and hammock, sea view. You sleep with the sound of the waves :) The room is clean and spacious but very hot (everywhere at pacific in dry season), they put 2 fans though. Enough space to put your things, reading lights at the bed. Location is perfect, directly oceanfront (breeze) and close to shops and restaurants/bus stop. 3 minutes to main beach and 10 minutes to a lovely waterfall where you can refresh. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, thank you Jochen and Victoria :)

    Shower didn’t get very hot, but the cool water was nice on hot Montezuma days.

    In town. Easy walk everywhere. Nice restaurant adjacent. Victoria is a wonderful host. Two fans in room to help with sleeping. Common area fridge. Sound of ocean.

    The garden wasn't maintained and did not look much like in the pictures. A little pricy compared to other locations we stayed in, given that you have no real common area or kitchen.

    Rooms are nice, clean, spacious and the balcony is awesome and relaxing. You could sometimes spot small animals from up there. The staff provided us with all the information we needed!

    Room feels a bit damp. Could use a thorough cleaning / renovation.

    The garden is amazing. Every room has it's own hammock and sitting area. Super close to the beach and Montezuma centre but still reasonably quiet. Everything you need!

    water pressure was terrible in sink and shower. didn’t feel safe to leave any valuables in room. beach access from property was hard to walk on but not far from easier access down the street. seemed more like a mid grade hostel than any kind of hotel which is what we expected when booking.

    great location but signage made us feel uncomfortable for theft in the area. the front desk was awesome in allowing later check out. very close to walking for shopping and dining. pretty garden and ocean views.

    The walls are very thin so you can hear everything but it is lovely to hear the sea. Not so great to hear the barking dogs at sunrise!

    Great location in town, lovely views of the sea from the bedrooms with a hammock outside each room to relax in. It is fairly basic but has charm.

    I had a creature fluttering around my room on the second night. I had to leave the light on so it would stop flying. He was probably there the first night also. The thought of that just freaks me out.

    I love the size of the rooms. They were very spacious with high ceilings. I also love the sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks right outside my window. The hammock is very comfortable. They are made of thick braided material. Sort of like a braided rug.

    Given the small size of the town and proximity of other businesses, the loud music from nearby bars at night was a bit bothersome. Although the hotel provided a communal refrigerator and dishes, it would have also been nice to have access to a microwave.

    The best part of our stay was listening to the ocean surf 24/7. The hotel was spacious with privacy from other guests. A very good value.

    It was very dirty, very hot in the room, and no AC, no window ( no glasses), and when it rained it was impossible de sleep. The mattress was very hard, my boyfriend and I had really bad back pain the next day

    I liked the view, it face in front of the beach.
