This small hotel is on the top of the hill with the fantastic view, surrounded with the tropical forest. Very quite and idyllic. Very close to the waterfall. I could even go on a trail and have my morning coffee on the waterfall. Or on the cover rooftop of the hotel, or at the pool. Room was spacious and clean. Hotel is pretty new and well maintained. The only drawback was that to go to Montezuma and to the beach we had to drive. I wouldn't mind walking over the suspension bridge and to the village, total of about 15 minutes, but my family didn't want to join me. Overall it was a great experinece. ##### Vesna Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Angelie 13 Dec 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities No one was there to greet us. I had to contact them via WhatsApp to find out that they had placed keys already in the hotel door the road from Montezuma to the hotel was extremely steep and the road looks like it was freshly cut out of the rock. the views were very, very nice, but the hotel itself felt very much like a youth hostel. We decided not to stay the night and to the credit of the hotel they did give me a refund minus one night . The pool is super tiny and had a dirt ring around it not very cared for. ##### Angelie Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Host Anastasia was super friendly and helpful. Great breakfasts in a treehouse like setting. Arranged fabulous zip line tour. ##### Margaret Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 5 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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 ##### Peter Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Ana Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvia 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Sylvia Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisha 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We loved the property itself however it was difficult getting into the parking as it is a very narrow dirt road with large bumps, the water was also not working and we needed tubs of water to flush, now sink water or shower water. Views were incredible! ##### Elisha Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan 4 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Susan Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### linda 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities 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. ##### linda Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We enjoyed our stay a lot. 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! ##### Louise Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allen 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Allen Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monty 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Monty Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HENRY 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location and friendly staff, Thank You ! ##### HENRY Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Lea 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It’s absolutely beautiful here ##### Amanda Lea Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 5 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I wouldn't stay anywhere else after staying here! ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa 14 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Theresa Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana 3 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Stunning view ##### Ana Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hayley 17 May 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Hayley Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris 12 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Chris Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Bruce 24 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The property has a LOT of potential, the landscaping needs more plants to hide pipes, and dead vines need out of the trees. The driveway into the hotel needs some dirt to fill in ruts. Swinging bridge needs lights in the night. The positive the hotel has a nice view, the rooms were clean, the staff was very nice. ##### Bruce Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Anita 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Anita Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### carol 20 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Better be in great shape I think there should have been more of an emphasis on the many stairs that one needed to negotiate. Some of us seniors are young at heart, but not in the greatest shape. I for instance could not negotiate the stairs without my husbands help. ##### carol Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joshua 9 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Joshua Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### JAMES 17 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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! ##### JAMES Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan 19 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Muy linda vista desde varias locaciones del hotel! ![Room morning view ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20f54663-c173-487c-949b-59afc7a95f7c-1768781722498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Juan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Parador-Resort-And-Spa.h1752985.Hotel-Information) > > [Banana Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobano-Hotels-Banana-Beach-Bungalows.h13315109.Hotel-Information) > > [ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Byblos-Resort-Casino.h1449546.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Brisas Resort and Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Las-Brisas-Resort-And-Villas.h4181249.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaia Hotel And Reserve - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Gaia-Hotel-And-Reserve-Adults-Only.h1351334.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Surf & Yoga Villas Santa Teresa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobano-Hotels-Nautilus-Boutique-Hotel.h4031983.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Three Sixty - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Three-Sixty-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h20957042.Hotel-Information) > > [Kunken Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sierpe-Hotels-Kunken-Lodge.h75783986.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Selina Manuel Antonio - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Selina-Manuel-Antonio.h16878783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tahiti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tahiti-Hotels.d180103.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Jungle Vista Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Jungle-Vista-Boutique-Hotel.h16265851.Hotel-Information) > > [The Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-The-Falls-Resort-At-Manuel-Antonio.h4112811.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villas Lirio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Villas-Lirio.h1746356.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels.d179900.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Zunya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cobano-Hotels-Casitas-Malpais.h76963675.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas de la Selva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Villas-De-La-Selva.h11096805.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Altos Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Los-Altos-Resort.h3444310.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/dbv/edinburgh-to-dubrovnik) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Chania (CHQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/chq/glasgow-to-chania) ### Packages ### General ---
