Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge

Overall this hotel was great. The rooms were clean and comfy, the breakfast was very good and the hotel has access to a beautiful waterfall and a hanging bridge which we spent a bit of time at. The view from the bedroom was also amazing. They had the extra little touches in the bedroom and the towels smelled so good. There's a very chill vibe here I enjoyed my stay very much. Also it's close to the town of Montezuma. I think this was our favourite hotel that we stayed in Costa Rica.

Nothing!

Beautiful views, good breakfasts, the staff helped me when I was overwhelmed by the bugs in my room.

This place is up a very steep hill from the town of Montezuma. I’d really only recommend for people who have cars.

The lodge is up high on a ridge, and my room afforded a tremendous view of the jungle below and the ocean beyond. The room had a beautiful stone floor and picture windows leading to a balcony. There is also a private trail to a series of three waterfalls.

I really wanted to love this place, and I mostly did. The staff was nice, the cooks made really yummy breakfasts, I enjoyed the "private" path to the waterfalls (with lots of monkeys!), great views from the breakfast area and patios, and an awesome private suspension bridge shortcut into town (still a steep hillclimb back, mind you.. I enjoyed the exercise, but people that can't handle a moderate hike will need a car).

TERRIBLE soundproofing in the rooms. I think I may have had the worst room in the entire place, with a split-level apartment with a staircase against my wall on one side, and regular rooms on the other side and above me. I swear, the room above me sounded like a herd of elephants moving around constantly, and the CLOMPING of people going up and down the stairs in the apartment beside me made my room vibrate. If you are the type to want to relax in your room with peace and quiet occasionally, you'd better hope there's no one in those other rooms around you. I had earplugs in and could still hear (and feel) everyone moving around in the other rooms, the cleaners dragging furniture around and banging the patio railings with their brooms, etc. It was brutal. Probably being there on Easter weekend didn't help. Thankfully it was mostly quiet at night, but the noise started at sunrise. If you're going to stay here, insist on a top-floor room, that would probably be much better. It's funny that they actually advertise the apartment as having soundproof walls, I guess maybe it's only soundproof in one direction..
