Sunshine Sanctuary Boutique Jungle Lodge

This place was such a pleasant surprise. We travelled all over Costa Rica, and while this certainly isn’t the most luxurious place you’ll stay in, it definitely has wonderful service and an overall great vibe. The owner is amazing, and was super helpful for us in getting back into town with our luggage to catch the ferry back. Speaking of which - if you’re walking from the town up the hill it’s a very steep walk, so be prepared! Excellent proximity to the waterfall with your own special entrance, your own private hanging bridge, and a fantastic brewery right next to the property to walk to. Overall, we’d happily stay here again!

Interesting place to stay with one access via a footbridge! Large clean room with balcony (beware of monkeys if you leave anything outside!). View of valley & ocean. Sml pool to cool off in. Good breakfast served on the roof top terrace overlooking the valley & ocean & plenty of wildlife to see at the same time. Very helpful owner. Parking available. Bonus: Short walk to the top of the waterfall for a swim & great brewery by the entrance for food & drinks. Only downside its partway up a very steep hill if visiting the town.

Sunshine Sanctuary in Montezuma, Costa Rica, is an absolute nirvanic paradise. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the beautiful art and decor were a delight. Everything I needed was included in the room: a safe, television, mini fridge, and cold, crisp water. My favorite part of my room was my private balcony, immersed in the jungle and overlooking the ocean; it left me breathless as I took in the beauty and wildlife around me! The highlight of my mornings was the delicious daily breakfast and coffee—the variety of options and fresh, locally sourced ingredients made waking up a delightful experience. The aromatic coffee topped with cinnamon perfectly complemented the scrumptious breakfast, setting the tone for a day filled with exploration and adventure. One of the most memorable experiences was the gorgeous hike to a stunning waterfall. The sanctuary's location amidst lush rainforests provided the perfect backdrop for this awe-inspiring trek. The breathtaking cascade and refreshing pool at the end of the hike were unforgettable, and I cherished every moment of jumping into the pool and connecting with nature's beauty. Another highlight of the sanctuary is Panorama, the open-air bar overlooking the jungle and ocean. It offers a tranquil setting to unwind and relish the picturesque scenery. Sipping refreshing beverages while gazing at the panoramic views was a treat for the senses. Last but certainly not least, the Sunshine Sanctuary has a fantastic hanging bridge. This walking bridge provides a unique vantage point to marvel at the surrounding landscapes overlooking the canopy. Sunshine Sanctuary is an oasis of natural wonders and comforts that exceeded all my expectations. It leaves me eager to return and visit with the kind staff and explore even more of its enchanting offerings.
