Heart of downtown Montezuma, walk to beach
We spent 3 nights, Saturday-Tuesday at El Sano Banano in downtown Montezuma. The hotel was conveniently located steps to the beach and on the downtown strip, next to a market and many restaurants. We saw a few different lizards in the outdoor dining area. The in-house restaurant and bar served Tipico style Costa Rican cuisine. The included breakfast was a sit down service with tipico rice and beans, eggs, pancakes, toast, coffee. There was no availability of self serve coffee. We stayed in a room with a window overlooking the street vendors and park. There was one full size bed and one twin on the opposite side. The mattresses, linens and pillows were tolerable. There was an AC wall unit but no window or ventilation, or balcony. Our wet clothes never dried completely. There was a private bathroom with shower with hot water, toilet. The decor of the space was beachy, colorful and quirky, I liked it. Due to the proximity to the downtown area and thin walls we could hear the music and bass from the discotheque all of Saturday night. If you’re planning on staying throughout a weekend, I’d highly recommend bringing earplugs/noise cancellers. Overall it was a pretty good stay but we’d probably consider staying somewhere off of the main street when we visit Montezuma next time. Recommendations for the hotel: -self serve coffee station -more comfortable bedding/pillows -warning about street noise, sale/availability of earplugs -more friendly staff

El mejor hotel de Montezuma
Estuvimos cuatro días, la atención fue excelente, el hotel tiene una excelente ubicación, la comida es deliciosa. El poder usar las instalaciones del Ylang ylang es un plus excelente. Sin duda volveremos...

BEST IN MONTEZUMA
We discovered this restaurant on our second day in Montezuma, after two rather bad experiences at other restaurants that were suggested to us. This, however, was a really nice place: great and friendly staff, amazing food and ambient and a lovely outside terrace with a little fountain. We decided to eat here every day from then on, as they also offered a way better breakfast than our own hotel, and we really enjoyed it. On our third day we went for fishing and we caught a tuna, which they prepared for us (and it was absolutely delicious!).

Awesome week
Brought my family of 5 (3 sons) to Costa Rica - First time taking the nonstop Southwest Denver to Liberia, flight it was great. Sano Banano arranged transportation (Eduardo) to the hotel in a private van, great ride, both ways. Food was great great Rooms were clean, comfortable - water was hot Great customer service - we also stayed at Ylang Ylang - great vibe at both places Sad to leave

Excelente el factor humano de este hotel,
En este hotel se sentirán a gusto, rodeados de naturaleza , con un restaurante dentro del hotel que ofrece música en vivo, pero lo más importante es el factor humano, ahí encontrarán a Jairo encargado y recepcionista de este hotel, Jairo hace que sientas la comodidad de tu hogar estando de vacaciones, se encarga de todo para que lo único que tengas que hacer sea disfrutar. También el mozo del restaurante y su cocinaro hacen que tu estadía sea inigualable, más que recomendable.

Wonderful staff, central location, great stay
My husband and I just returned home after a lengthy stay at Sano Banano and an absolutely great experience. The rooms are basic, but very clean and comfortable. If you're looking for luxury, maybe consider staying at Ylang Ylang instead. As guests of Sano Banano, we were able to enjoy the beautiful pool just up the beach at this sister property. At both, we were given excellent and friendly staff service. A special thank you to Gabi, Eduardo, Luis and Dorian for their kind assistance throughout our visit. We needed help with transportation and had many other requests which they fulfilled with a friendly smile. We will return to Sano Banano on our next trip to the area. Pura Vida!
