Amazing hotel and stay!

Very beautiful hotel. Close to shops and food. Great service - breakfast was delicious (coffee, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt etc). Steps away from the beach. Our rooms had a gorgeous view of the beach!

Stylish oceanfront property

Great stay at this hotel. Comfortable bed, clean room, beautiful views and sounds of the Pacific just steps away. Delicious breakfast served by friendly staff. One area for improvement: Pool and hot tub could both be warmer. Overall, very happy and would recommend!

If travel takes you to Montanita choose Montanablu

Our stay was great! From the moment we walked into the lobby the staff greeted us and was friendly. The breakfast was delicious. Coffee and tea were available in the lobby all day. The bar by the pool was a nice addition. They made us a delicious strawberry daiquiri. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

This place had amzing views of the ocean. You were right next ro the boardwalk which takes you along the beach. Really close to shops, restaurants, cocktail alley. They had a great little pool area whoch had beach access. The rooms were clean spacious, had AC, and a little mini fridge. The staff was friendly and helpful. Incuded a free breakfast whcih was great. Would definitely recommend and would live to stay again.
Benjamin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed the facility itself. Very modern and well maintained. Beach front property! There was some renovations being done the first two days of our stay around the pool area. Some early morning loud bar music played until early morning hours (6am) which made it somewhat hard to sleep at night especially in the oceanview rooms. Overall beautiful property.
Alex, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very clean and the staff is amazing! However, the jacuzzi was impossible to get in because it was way too hot and the white walls of the property need maintenance. The breakfast was not good, I do not recommend. But the cocktails at the bar were amazing!

Excelente hotel en Montañita

Excelente trato del personal, buena ubicación, lejos de la zona más ruidosa de Montañita. Desayuno aceptable. Mi única queja sería que no había ni un vaso. El precio muy bueno, claro era temporada baja.

schönes hotel

ein sehr schönes hotel mit vielen jungen leuten die das hotel führen. sie geben sich auch sehr viel mühe. zimmer sehr schön und gross. der strand ist auch gleich vor der türe. liegt etwas ausserhalb, aber die restaurantstrassen sind in 10 minuten gut erreichbar. schade war dass jemand das gefühl hatte man müsse unsere laptop-tasche durchsuchen. das ist das einzig negative.

Amazing staff, especially, Mauricio Pochettino! He was gracious and attentive! Great place right on the beach and walking distance to eveything. Only one suggestion: my room could have used a table and a couple of chairs, but I highly recommend!
