Hotel offering very nice cabins surrounded by the rainforest, and more isolated bungalows perched in the trees

For 35 years, Patricia and her husband have run this hotel, which is one of the oldest in the city. Their son and daughter-in-law, Moraya and Emma, are now at the helm and offer lovely cabins and bungalows perched in the trees. If you can, opt for this option: it's cozy, and there's a special vantage point for watching the monkeys. Spa service and organized tours are possible in connection with Zuma Tours. As for the food, the menu is excellent and the waiters are adorable, an incarnation of the pura vida!

We had an unreal and amazing time in March at Ylang Ylang. This is our second time at the resort (we went same time in 2022) and we couldn’t believe how many upgrades they’ve done in one year. There’s a large tent roof over the restaurant patio now that’s beautiful with chandeliers. The cabinas have been completely redone and now offer more space. We had our wedding here in March, with over 40 of us, and we had a blast. We had a pool party, welcome party, bachelorette girls night and boat trip. Emma and her team helped organize all of it and made it a ton of fun. This is a stunning, small resort run by a family that is private and right on the beach. Great for couples and families! Highly recommend! Also, the food was fabulous. It was delicious during our entire stay, not just at the wedding. Thanks again to the entire team at Ylang Ylang, and we can’t wait to return!

(Posting as Chris & Heidi) Ylang Ylang completely exceeded my already high expectations. My wife and continue returning to Costa Rica because of how much we love it. And Montezuma was a first for us and we spend part of our trip at Ylang Ylang.

It was the perfect blend of beautiful jungle vibes with a dash of resort comforts. The property is stunning and reflects the passion they have for nature. Food is fresh, local and delicious. If I could find a restaurant like this back home, I’d have a hard time cooking my own meals.

There are only 15-20 units occupied when close to maximum capacity so it feels like a nice mix of solitude but with some interaction throughout.

The staff are helpful, friendly and make you feel like you’re at home with locals rather than being pampered at a resort. But if you want to be pampered, they will happily oblige! You can eat all your meals here, have drinks and enjoy honestly the most healthy food I’ve ever had being away. I feel healthier having stayed there, which is rare when travelling for us. You can indulge while feeling good about it.

We don’t enjoy huge all inclusive resorts at all due to the size and amusement park feel to it all. So Ylang Ylang was a perfect spot. It feels like you were on someone’s beautiful property with an amazing full service restaurant. Pool, hammocks, beach chairs are all easily accessible, comfortable and perfectly placed. We actually enjoyed the pool way more than we thought! It was a nicely shaded/sunny oasis to spend an afternoon. Miss it already!

If you want to book excursions every day they can do that for you. If you want to lounge and get spa treatments (amazing masseuse) all day, every day you can do that. Rent an ATV or walk 10 minutes into town. All while having the most beautiful home base we could imagine.

Thank you to EVERYONE at Ylang Ylang for giving my wife and I a peaceful, refreshing place to connect and recharge. It’s been a particularly tough few years for us and being here gave us energy we will now use back home. And to Patricia, Lenny, and the whole family, thank you for creating this spot and enduring all the ups and downs to what is now a incredible preservation of nature for anyone to enjoy.

*Side note: I read a few comments about the rooms not being to some visitors expectations. I will say that Ylang Ylang does not hide what the rooms look like, so I am unsure why you would book if you have such a high standard? The rooms are spotless and have everything you need to be comfortable. My wife and I called them unpretentious and honestly it made us feel more at home and comfortable.

A unique and calming resort that relaxes you immediately upon arrival. The balcony on the cabanas over beautiful views. The staff is incredible and offers fantastic service. Darren and Francisco made our trip unforgettable with their recommendations.
