You can lie lazily on their hammock, enjoy spectacular views from the window, take a dip in the new pool or savor Montezuma’s refreshing balmy breeze. The hotel is located just outside Montezuma town but is easily accessible to the town center and for making short day trips to Mal Pais, Santa Teresa, Hermosa, Manzanillo, Montezuma Waterfalls and Playa Grande.
