Amor de Mar
A little slice of paradise, Amor de Mar is a large house perched on a high spot of land that runs down to a rocky outcropping hiding a small natural swimming pool carved into the coral stones. Between this pool and the rooms is a broad lawn and a small grove of mango trees and…$$Around Town - Hotel
Anamaya Resort
In Sanskrit, the name Anamaya means “without trouble” or “diseaseless” and those definitions seem pretty apt for this specialist in yoga and wellness retreats.

As you descend the steep hill that leads into Montezuma, you’ll find this place on your right, just before the main crossroads of the village.

However, the rooms here are very basic and only sporadically maintained, and the service and personal attention…$Around Town - Hotel
Luz de Mono
Located in the middle of thick forest at the northern edge of Montezuma, Luz de Mono feels very remote, despite being walking distance from the beach and all of Montezuma’s shops and restaurants. Most guestrooms are housed in an unpainted, gray concrete, two-story building. The…$Around Town - Hotel
Ylang Ylang Beach Resort
This pioneering rainforest resort does an excellent job of blending tropical fantasy with hints of luxury. The complex is just off the beach in a dense patch of forest and flowering gardens. Lodging options range from glamping-style tent cabins (slat wood floors, private porches,…$$$Around Town
