... we didn't see a need, though the initial email did mention that it's a 2.2 km (about 1.4 miles) walk to downtown Montezuma.  After settling in, we headed downtown to check it out and Alex suggested we take a flashlight with us.  After ...

... of the road has more pot holes than road. Making the final descent down the windy rutted rough road our first impression of Montezuma was 'is this it'. Supposedly one of Costa Rica's top ten beaches it certainly does not deliver. Given it's rainy season ...

... friends with :)) that helped us navigate our way here since the public trans tends to operate without schedules or signs.  Montezuma is a cute, funky beach town made up of two streets with hostels, restaurants, street vendors and lots of dogs. ...

... to check out Montezuma. The town itself is very tiny, a big tourism spot, there were a lot of other tourists. You could survive in Montezuma with no Spanish, but not in Puntarenas. I am glad I am in a town that forces me to use Spanish on a daily basis, ...

Hoy llegamos a Montezuma. Desayunamos en el enorme restaurante de las cabinas donde pasamos la noche. Cogimos el autobús de las 8am (pasó a y media) a Montezuma, donde llegamos a las 10am. Nos alojamos en Pensión Arenas, en la playa, después de ...

Well, after spendind too much time in San jose, we headed back to Manuel Antonio for a day in the park. We had lots of raccoons trying to steal our bags on the beach and had to chase them away with sticks! We swan in pool that turned mine and Missy's ...

... I went the other direction, East, to Manzillo and for better or worse met 3 Swiss and German girls, one who recognized me from Montezuma. Simply put it was like pulling teeth to get them to talk. Definitely not the first time on this trip and others that ...

... people think about bars and development on the beach front. Generally I don't approve, however here and other places such as Montezuma the way its done I think fits that particular area well. I guess its because the developments are nothing like the UK ...

... of the back door while three other guys leaned out the open door hanging on to the railing for the gruelling 2 hour trip into Montezuma. That was an adventure. We arrived in Montezuma in the dark and found a place right on the beach. We seem to be ...

... a wonderful ferry crossing. We have the van with us this time so arrive on the peninsula and take an hours drive to Montezuma. A very small resort with a few bars and excellent restaurants and a sandy bay. The coastline is rugged. You can´t swim as ...

... packed but at least a 3rd of the residents are local hookers. Apparently it gets even worse on the Saturday. And no I didn't thank you very much. I plan to spend a few more days here before taking a water taxi to Montezuma on the Nicoysa ...
