Expensive: room and restaurant - pay for location. Payment only cash :(

Great location on the beach, friendly staff. Nice breakfast included. Clean room

Can’t think of many negatives, I suppose the public park could pose a problem but we didn’t experience any and it’s out of the hotel’s control.

The hotel is perfectly placed. Close enough to all amenities and yet not in ‘the thick of it’. Our room was clean and comfortable with a terrace overlooking a public park. The rooms could do with some updating but it certainly didn’t detract from our stay. There is an on-site kitchen for the use of guests which is a bonus. It was value for money and Montezuma is well worth a visit.

Bed could be a bit more comfortable and shower wasn’t great (as in more places in CR). My main annoyance was that the hotel uses a very unfavourable exchange rate (550c/1usd) so I ended up paying way more (in colones) than I should have. Even though there’s a note about it at reception you can’t just make up an exchange rate. Make sure to pay in USD!

Cosy place with lots of places to chill out, and very large room with cool wooden boards. Good working aircon and coffee maker was a nice touch. Bang in the middle of town (but thats easy in Montezuma).

Nothing

Was worth the price. Friendly staff.

The price was fair and reflected the facilities and comfort. The staff was welcoming. I'm told local people own and operate the hotel, which I think is positive.

The room didn't have any type of closet or shelves for our clothes... not a big deal but it helps. The AC was working but it was really noisy... difficult to sleep with a helicopter motor above your head :)

The room was big with comfortable beds. It had AC and two fans for us to choose. There was a small balcon with a hammock and a table with view to the park. It also had a small fridge so it is possible to keep a few groceries in there just for us. The owners of the hotel gave us a huge hand managing our reservation. They confirmed our positive and unique experience with Costa Rica's warmth and helpful people. Thanks!

Great stuff, very happy to help.

mattress and pillow was terrible!

nice big room

Stayed in August 2022

There were no screens in the windows, only signs warning not to ever open the windows because wildlife will enter your room. I don't think that's true because other places don't have this problem and honestly would be MUCH MORE comfortable if you could open the window while staying at a (close to the) beach resort.

Beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. Very noisy, I could hear someone snoring through the walls. We were not given basic amenities such as coffee for our coffee machine and toilet role!

The staff were lovely, very friendly. Amazing location situated less than a one minute walk to pretty much anywhere in Montezuma. Had a a nice communal hammock area upstairs.

The location is excellent. Close to everything. It's great value for money with a coffee machine and fridge in your room. Shared spaces to eat and relax and a communal kitchen to use. Support local families and choose Aurora.

The curtains need to be darker. Too much light from park at night.

The view from porch. Very close to town. It was great to have a kitchen. We really enjoyed it.

My stay in this hotel was awesome. Close to the beach and restaurants it’s the best match in Montezuma. Affordable, with a staff who deserves 5 stars thanks to open mind and professionalism. The only noise could be the outside music, otherwise the fan (room without AC), it just helps to sleep after an exhausting day at the beach. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. 😊

Location was what we were hoping for. Very close to the 2 beaches alot of great restaurants and the night life -to be able to walk and enjoy but then be able to get away and sleep in your bed(somewhat quite).

Stayed in January 2024

clean, friendly staff

Stayed in April 2023

Not clean as you can see in the photos. There was a very bad moldy smell in the bathroom that didn't go away!! Between my room's bathroom and the neighbouring one there was no real isolation (some kind of net was partly used). Dead mosquitos on the bed sheets and some hair on the towels.

Good location, couldn't be more central

Stayed in March 2023

Everything was perfect!

Hotel Aurora is the best place you can chose to stay while in Montezuma, the spacious room, the AC, and the fan, the amazing relax space, i.e. your own balcony - with a hammock and a wonderful view, the great option to use a kitchen facility, so you can prepare your own meal, this was simply an a m a z i n g stay! The whole atmosphere, the team super kind and helpful to answer every question or request with a huge warm smile! Thank you so much Hotel Aurora, for keeping this beautiful welcoming atmosphere! Me and my friends enjoyed very much the shared chill hammock area and met new friends while relaxing there I also really liked your library corner! The 30 seconds walk to the beach and the incredible sunrise, whoaaah! Montezuma, we are coming back to you and our favorite hotel Aurora! Thank you!

Our room was a bit musty, but it could maybe have been solved with A/C, which we didn't purchase (could get it for an extra $20/night).

Lovely place with fabulous staff and perfect location! The compound itself is gorgeous, and it is located right downtown in Montezuma, but tucked away enough for you not to be bothered by noise. Felt extremely safe, too, with staff always present by the entrance. 100% recommended!
