    We've travelled throughout Costa Rica - Montezuma was a great place to visit - because of the Mariposario Gardens. Nice & clean - and a great location up the hill and away from the noisy town. (awesome walk up the hill a great workout :)) Folks that run the place are amazing! Thanks to Josh, Rene, Phil & the rest of the gang for delicious breakfasts on the balcony each morning, good advice and just all round friendly chats. We highly recommend this place - you won't be disappointed!
