I'm glad I saw these reviews after we stayed here about being robbed. We actually stayed here AFTER being robbed in Santa Teresa. We booked in for 1 night and ended up staying 2. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the price was great, especially for what is around town. It's a nice large hotel/hostel with a good basic... More

This is not a safe place to stay. Whilst we were staying here someone broke into our room in the night and stole my bag with wallet, passports, camera etc in it. Although the location is central and probably the price is fine, the experience we had here was not worth it at all. Probably the worst was the reaction... More

Come here. After the second night we went out to dinner and made the mistake of leaving some of our valuables in the room. In 2.5 hours everything was gone. Even though the locks on the doors are complete garbage (the kind that will pop open if a credit card is jammed into them), we thought we could leave some... More

We stayed three nights at La Aurora and really enjoyed it. The staff is friendly, the rooms are nice and clean. The location is really good, close to everything. I would definitely go back (just too bad the wifi would not work in the rooms).

It is a basic hotel. Rooms have bathrooms and a small fridge inside. There is a communal kitchen. It is a block or two from the beach, but between the street that comes into town and the park (which is great if you have kids, since the communal area looks out over the playground) so it isn't loud at night...

Regarding lonely planet Lodging in montezuma is Bad value. However la Aurora is pretty Good value. Take a room on The First floor. Nice wooden Panels and spacious. The ones on The ground floor are small and not so comfortable.

After checking out 4 places in Montezuma, we settled on the Aurora. It's a really comfortable budget accommodation and the staff are super friendly and helpful. We paid $45 per night, which I believe is the maximum price for 2 people. For this price we had an upstairs (second floor) room with A/C, a nice balcony, and a bathroom with... More

I spent 4 nights in Montezuma, we got a great deal thanks to the low season rates! Private room with our own bathroom and a mini fridge in our room, quite refreshing after staying in shared dorms for quite sometime. I do not speak Spanish so I had problems communicating with the receptionist, but luckily my friend managed everything :)... More

The road into the town of Montezuma is steep! If you are on foot while staying in Montezuma be sure you stay at a place right in town. We were going to stay in a place "on the hill" but when we realized how steep the walk would be we were so happy to find La Aurora. It is located... More
