Luz en el Cielo Eco B&B/ Hostel

Perfect location and wonderful stay. We had our own bungalow with a terrace to enjoy the jungle and relax in. Very well appointed and clean. Breakfast was fantastic and we loved cooling off in the pool after a day of exploring. Yoni is attentive and helpful. He made a point of greeting all the guests each morning as we enjoyed coffee and breakfast. One morning we even got to see a troupe of migrating monkeys play while we dined. Amazing! Yoni offered advice on activities and is a wealth of information about the area. Montezuma is a sweet little beach town. Honestly a throw back as it's relatively unchanged since I was here back in the 90s. It's easy to walk to and around. Restaurants, the beach, everything we needed - all within a 5-10 minute walk from the B&B. Will definitely stay here again!

I’ve stayed at dozens of hostels around the world and this has been the best experience at one yet. From the welcoming presence of the owners on site to the kindness of the staff who cooks free breakfast and keeps the place clean, there is so much to be grateful for here. The pool is so good for relaxing under shade and cooling down during the 11-2 pm hot hours of the day. There’s plenty of common areas, including a kitchen, to get to know other travelers.||We are traveling with a baby and brought our 21 year old sister to Costa Rica for her first time so the environment was really important to us. We needed a place where we could have privacy and quiet while also an area for my sister to live the proper backpackers lifestyle. It’s so close to town, where you can find artists, food, beach, while also tucked away just enough so that it’s a close walk in, yet not in the midst of the business of town.||So blessed and grateful to be here. Pura Vida.

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.

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!

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!
