Montelaguna Boutique Hotel is located in a tropical oasis between two of Costa Rica’s most beautiful beaches – Playa Sámara and Playa Carrillo.
A relaxed atmosphere prevails here, where you’re guaranteed to feel at one with nature. The hotel is surrounded by lush rainforest and has a cosy pool area where you can enjoy a refreshing dip or a cold drink on a sun lounger amidst palm trees and exotic flowers. It is a small hotel with just 17 rooms, all of which offer air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a minibar, a safe, a hair dryer, a TV, coffee/tea making facilities and an en suite bathroom.
Your included breakfast is served in the hotel’s small restaurant, which is also open for lunch and dinner (except in May and June, when the restaurant is only open for breakfast).
If you dream of fabulous bounty beach surroundings, you’ve come to the right place. There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re looking for an active beach holiday or you prefer to relax with a good book in the shade of a swaying coconut palm. Just 400 metres from the hotel is the quiet Playa Carrillo, which, with its untouched beauty, invites you to enjoy pure relaxation in picture-postcard surroundings. This is also a haven for locals seeking a peaceful day out with the family. If you walk 500 metres to the other side, you’ll come to Playa Sámara, where you have every opportunity to try various water sports activities such as kayaking, stand up paddle and jet skiing.
Sámara town is located approximately 4 km from the hotel. You can walk there along the beach or have the hotel arrange a taxi for you (around 15-20 USD per way). In Sámara, you’ll find several small shops if you feel like doing a bit of shopping. Otherwise, we can recommend enjoying a refreshing cocktail at one of the cozy beach restaurants and watching the beautiful sunset. You’ll also find a nice selection of restaurants in town.
Please note: The hotel is closed in September and October. If you’re travelling during this period, you’ll be staying at The Hideaway Hotel instead.
