Montezuma Costa Rica: A tropical retreat with rainforest and beaches

The ultimate tropical escape can be found with these stunning activities across Montezuma, Costa Rica.

The tropical paradise of Costa Rica may feel like a very long trip away, but with direct flights from virtually every major city in the world, the adventure is a lot closer than you think. Once here, the resort options are extensive — which includes a vast array of options ranging from style, size and location.

Every year, our resort (Ylang Ylang Beach Resort) receives thousands of visitors who share their opinions on the top attractions across the region. Considering all this feedback, we’ve compiled the top recommendations based on experiences from real travelers.

Top Costa Rica Rainforests

Located on the central, western coast of Costa Rica, the Nicoya Peninsula is just removed enough from the main tourist traffic to offer an authentic travel experience.
