Sunshine Sanctuary is a beautiful property, with gracious and helpful staff. Staff were very helpful with transportation as we did not have a car. Being so close to the waterfall was delightful, and the views were amazing! Tours to Tortuga can be picked up right at Montezuma beach. As others have noted, it is a steep hill, making one think twice about making the journey more than once a day.

Beautiful views and nice balcony
Rooms need fans in bathrooms and bedrooms.
In our room the air conditioning was leaking on the television. Television did not work this wasn’t a problem for us but might be for someone else.
This hotel has good access to beautiful falls if you like a little hike down and back about 20 minutes down to the falls. You will have to take a taxi to town if you’re not good to walk. The hike back to the hotel is very steep.
I found a dead lizard in my room. Another lizard kept coming into my room from the heat exchange housing. There was construction on the property from 7AM-4PM everyday. And the walls definitely were not sound proofed.

My wife and I recently stayed 6 nights at the Sunshine Sanctuary. There were things that we loved & things we feel would make for a better experience.
We Loved…
Location is exceptional!!
We especially enjoyed breakfasts in the lookout where you felt like you were living in a treehouse with all the animals that CR offers.
A variety of daily breakfasts.
Rooms are spacious with a great view.
Easy trail access to waterfalls.
What would’ve made for a better experience…
Better quality linens. Towels were a bit thin & rough.
The building was under construction so there was no Yoga studio which wasn’t communicated prior to our arrival.
Poor Wi-Fi in rooms.
The cable service (TV) did not work for the first 4 nights.
The room was spacious but lacked hooks to hang bathing suits, etc. A retractable close line in the shower would have been fine.
Most importantly…we would definitely stay here again!
This was a very nice place to stay but wasn’t super clean and the breakfast was just a bowl of fruit. But it was very cute and the property was awesome with the bridge and waterfall.
I think there should have been more of an emphasis on the many stairs that one needed to negotiate. Some of us seniors are young at heart, but not in the greatest shape. I for instance could not negotiate the stairs without my husbands help.
Beautiful sunrise views, room was spacious, wildlife was amazing.
Pool was murky, breakfast was simple , room was not cleaned everyday. On a steep hill so could not walk back from town, needed a taxi
