My husband and I are in our early 30s, very active and travel to Central America every year. We have been to Montezuma 4 times and stayed at multiple places and this was by far the worst, and also the most expensive. We thought we would splurge and up our game from our normal backpacker hotels/cheaper VRBOs. Unfortunately, the owner does not represent the property well in their descriptions and we were misled to expect something far different. To start, the cabin is more like a shack, and you can see light coming through large cracks between planks when you look back on it at night. This does nothing to keep out bugs, there is a mosquito net over the bed but we had ants and praying mantises and other bugs in the bed every morning. Not to mention tons of bug bites! The bed is about 2ft from fridge and stove top, if you leave your garbage inside, bugs come in, if you put it outside the racoons get it. Maid service was NOT included as they say it is. They changed our sheets once during our week stay, only after we went up to the main house and requested it. Same with garbage. The bathroom, adjacent to kitchen and bed area is only separated by a 3/4 wall, so no privacy there. This place is very small. The shower is outside and had no light, so we had to use headlamps to watch for snakes when entering the shower at night. The main house which is often represented in the photos was occupied by the owner who was living by himself at the time. We were not invited to use the pool and honestly, he had a creepy vibe.
We almost left early multiple times, but we are the kind of people who like to give things the benefit of the doubt and tough it out. This is one of few times I regret that, by the time we left we were miserable and covered with bug bites. I had my laptop with me and a colony of ants came in and literally colonized the inside of my computer, but there was nothing we could do to keep them out of the shack. I could seriously go on and on about the downfalls of this place.
To end on a positive note though, the view is amazing, just don't be afraid of sharing your space with spiders the size of your hand, sharing your bed with ants and your trash with, well everything. For what it actually is, $50 would be a much more reasonable price. Stay in town and enjoy the vibe of Montezuma.
Also, a car or atv rental is absolutely required.
I will NEVER go back, and we are really pretty chill about things. This place was unbelievably uncomfortable.
