We have been to Costa Rica twice now and both times have been to Ylang Ylang! We've had such an amazing time there it is hard to want to go anywhere else. The staff are incredible people and so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You feel at ease here and amongst friends. The beach is beautiful to walk along and the food/drinks at the restaurant are the best in Montezuma! And Montezuma is a short, peaceful walk down the road where you will find groceries, shops and restaurants. I cannot recommend Ylang Ylang enough!
This was a great experience in every respect for my family and I. Better than expected, nicer than it appears on the website. Great food, friendly and helpful staff. I would go back again and wholeheartedly recommend it.
We have only positive things to say about Ylang Ylang! Don't even hesitate to book this place. We stayed in a smaller "tent-cabin" cabina room rather than one of the incredible secluded huts. It was still fantastic. The grounds of this resort are unbelievable. It was private, tropical, tranquil, lush. We could go on and on. We stayed at 6 different places during our three weeks in CR and found the design of this resort to be the most beautiful. The food was so good here. The staff were exceptional, kind, helpful, available... The views of the ocean for our meals were beautiful and peaceful. The space for yoga with the view of the ocean was gorgeous. We didn't use the spa facilities but loved how they were tucked away in the rainforest. Unfortunately the beach wasn't as pretty as we'd hoped but this isn't the hotel's fault. It definitely did not look like the pictures. We were there in the beginning of rainy season (June/July) and the beach was full of debris and the water was brown/grey. This was a little disappointing. The town of Montezuma was easy to walk to from here. We would definitely come back (and they are expanding the size of the cabinas so they will be even nicer if you want a less expensive option here).…
I was impressed by the closeness to the beach, the lay of the property being so secluded in the lush landscape. Eduardo was a highlight of our stay (transportation to and from, tour of the Curu Wildlife, and fishing trip).
Ylang Ylang Resort was an amazing resort with lovely amenities. From the spa and rooms to the yoga classes and delicious food. The absolute best part of this resort was the service and workers there. The people who work there became like family to us. They were so wonderful and helpful always. The only negative thing I would say is the pool was very cold. My kids were not able to enjoy it. Other than that My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful resort.
Beautiful spot in Montezuma. Staff are sweet and caring. All the meals are fresh and tasty but all have the same underlying spices in every dish. Cocktails are tasty. My 2nd time here...I will return again and again. Thanks guys!
We had an overall lovely stay. The walk from our room to the front of the property was long but absolutely gorgeous! You are in the middle of the jungle with wildlife all around you. The ocean is gorgeous and you can listen to it in room as you sleep. The staff was all wonderful and helpful. The breakfast and dinner where delicious! The rooms were very small for a family of four. I don’t see how anyone could be comfortable spending any amount of time in the room which the lovely outdoor seating makes up for that. One thing that I’m disappointed with was the horseback ride we booked through the front desk. Half way back our guide completely disappeared. He left us with our two kids not knowing anything about horse or how to communicate with them on our own. It was quite terrifying as the horses where walking towards steep areas that we were scared we would fall from. Luckily we got back on our own to the hotel. The guide showed up almost 2 hours after he left us. Had the hotel apologized and maybe gave us a bit of a discount on the horse ride I would have felt better. But I felt very ripped off. It was absolutely a terrifying situation at the time being with our children.…
Chef is incredible as is her presentation, personal recipes for sauces and the restaurant staff. The common facilities are nice...pool, yoga space, lawn below restaurant, but the rooms need help as does the cleanliness of the beach. I'd come here for every meal in Montezuma.
We got married here in 2019, which was absolutely excellent in all ways, so our expectations were already quite high when we decided to stay for a second time. The Ylang Ylang family (it really feels like a family) did it again -- excellent service, food, everything. It's truly some of the best food we've ever eaten, and we absolutely loved getting to know some of the staff a bit more this time around. We tried the spa for the first time and loved it as well. We're already planning how we can come again soon. Thank you to everyone who works at Ylang Ylang; you truly are special. <3
We loved our stay at Ylang Ylang! The cabina was perfect for our 10 day stay, with great jungle views and privacy. Ylang Ylang is perfectly located, as we really liked being able to walk into town but also being a bit further into the jungle and having such easy access to the beach. The variety of food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent as well. By far the best part about our stay at Ylang Ylang was the staff. Every single person made us feel welcome and cared for, while also providing helpful local tips and fantastic service.
