Luz en el Cielo Eco B&B/ Hostel

This hotel is a true experience. You stay in a small suspended house in the middle of the forest at night with a beautiful terrace. The rooms are very poor and simple, no AC, minimal bathroom. But the experience is worth it. Homemade breakfast is served and there’s a nice common area with a kitchen, pool and games

I stayed at Luz for a week. The rooms were clean and airy, the pool and deck were stunning and relaxing. Even though it is just a 4 minute walk away from the shops, restaurants, beaches and bars of Montezuma, it's quiet and feels secluded but still just full of life. The staff were more than accommodating even when I arrived way earlier than expected and such. They really do treat you like family. The breakfast is fresh and delicious, one day I went on a hike at six am and arrived back after breakfast had finished, they welcomed me back and gave me a plate of fruit without me even asking just to make sure I was taken care of. They truly are a wonderful crew around there. And that's not even mentioning what an excellent place Montezuma is to be near if you want culture from the area and around the world, live music every night and many options for great food and fun people, gorgeous hikes and waterfalls without big crowds (although just a short distance from a truly bustling night life in Santa Theresa.) I will hands down recommend this as the best hostel I have been to! (And for an excellent price) muchas muchas gracias!!

Little paradise in the jungle but just a short walk to the beach. Host Johnny is very cool guy and also rest of the family was very welcoming. Very recommended "homebase" if you want to explore the area around montezuma.

This hostel was truly one of my favorite hostel ever. The dorms are super simple but clean. There is a big Ventilator on the ceiling, so you don‘t get hot at night. The staff was very friendly and the pool is super pretty. In general this hostel felt super special since it is sourrounded by jungle. My biggest concern was the bugs but honestly it wasn‘t bad at all. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that the standard dorms are super tiny. We were able to share them among friends but I feel like with strangers it could be a little too cramped.

Had a lovely stay here! The place is so so clean, all staff are super nice and helpful and the pool is great also with sunbeds and shaded areas. There's a common area to chill and a really well equipped kitchen with 2 stoves and 2 sinks. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, beds were comfy and the fan plus the many windows/open ceiling cooled it down to a nice temperature for sleeping. The beds do move and squeak quite a bit when the one person moves but all in all comfy and clean which is the most important. Do try the homemade empanadas, with the salsas, so delicious!

We stayed for 7 night after arrival in Costa Rica and it was perfect for us. Family from Holland with 2 daugthers aged 5 and 7. Casa Azul was wonderfull and also the breakfast made fresh every day by sweet Ana was a very good. Nice pool and good place to check around, next to the waterfall and Cabo Blanco, its also very nice to spend a day in the river like the locals, Rio Lajas. Go for the local recommended restaurants, all very good. Thanks!

We stayed in one of the cabinas which was perfect for a family of four. One of the nicest budget places to stay in the area from what we could tell, especially as you’re surrounded by nature. ||Friendly service, lovely pool and bar and decent breakfast.

Really really nice hostel, a big surprise in a good way. It is one of the best hostels in Costa rica. Clean good breakfast with a friendly staff. Beach not far with a feeling to be in jungle Thanks so much for my making my last few days her really cool
