Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge

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.

Beautiful sunrise views, room was spacious, wildlife was amazing. 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

A beautiful small quiet hotel in the middle of the jungle! Great, clean room with an excellent view and easy access to town! Free access to Montezuma waterfall trial from Sunshine Sanctuary property. Good breakfast and lots of wildlife right on the property!

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!

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.

Lieu magnifique, le pont flottant pour aller au village est juste stupefiant. Dommage que l'isolation acoustique avec les autres chambres soit si mauvaise.

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

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.

Point fort: confort general dans la chambre, le dejeuner, l'emplacement, le.pont suspendu et le sentier vers les cascades. 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.

We loved sunshine sanctuary, very clean and lovley staff. The location is also beautiful with amazing view and the bridge is awesome. 10min walk to the center where you get the restaurants and beaches and then you have a private way down to the waterfall. My girlfriend also did the yoga and she loved it. Its a perfect stay in perfect Montezuma!

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.

We found our stay at Sunshine Sanctuary very enjoyable. Rooms were clean, view was amazing and breakfast the next morning was perfect!

The room was lovely - clean and bright but unfortunately the construction in the adjoining unit was noisy and we had a lack of privacy. The breakfast was delicious. However, the main reason why we left a day early was the very rough state of the access road. Bottoming out in our rental car meant we were fearful of coming and going to the point of going without dinner one night. I believe your guests should be warned that they need a high clearance vehicle and warned that their room may be next to a room under renovation in your “sanctuary”.

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.

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!

Wonderful location and staff!! The oceanview is amazing from the hotel, and is very close to the waterfall. The waterfall is difficult to get to, no matter where you start, but worth the hike.

Lindo hotel inmerso en las colinas de Montezuma, con una hermosa vista y fácil acceso a la catarata. Buen desayuno, hermosas vistas y una habitación espaciosa.

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!

Great location and friendly staff, Thank You !

Tucked into the jungle it is definitely a Sanctuary. 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

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.

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 !

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.
