Excellent location, everything is close by, beach bars restaurants supermarket. Beautiful tropical setting! The resort is beautiful and very rustic with a cool vibe , the various hot warm & cold spa pools are fabulous! The bar is great serving tasty fresh cocktails and the food we tried was delicious! You can connect your own music to the bar speaker. The hotel staff are a real asset and very helpful, particularly the gentleman who works the bar and seems to be the handy man also, he was so friendly & accommodating! Always smiling! The resort has 2 dogs, Snow and Lila plus a gorgeous cat! Loved that! Very calm and lovely to have around! We stayed in the 3bed Colorado apartment. It was very spacious and the air con was good. We had a jacuzzi bath and hammock chair on the balcony. Also hammocks on the ground floor. WiFi worked perfectly! Tv works well but with a Roku fire stick. The apartment was a little too rustic and was not cleaned to a good standard when we arrived. We also had very noisy neighbours that partied until 5am on our first night, we felt more should have been done to stop this disturbance. The owner did acknowledge the problem and kindly gave our group a couple of rounds of cocktails at the bar. The resort is relaxing most of the time, however from 8am there is usually heavy bass music playing & there is very little sound proofing so no long lies in bed here! However, the beds were comfy and showers very powerful! Kitchen and facilities could be much better. Oven didn’t work, no kettle or toaster and fridge kept freezing everything! A few suggestions that would make this place perfect, a welcome pack on arrival with water coffee milk and some cleaning products, a bottle opener (we had to buy one plus cleaning products and cleaning items), BLACKOUT curtains!!!, there are bright lights outside the ground floor rooms that do not go off at night and very light weight curtains that are too small for the window preventing the room ever getting dark! Also as soon as the sun is up that’s it, a super bright room. It never gets dark. Bring your own eye mask!! And ear plugs! Despite the cleanliness issues and lack of dark rooms we really did enjoy our stay at Montanita estates, it is a very cool unique place and I will certainly be returning and recommending to friends and family! Until the next time, thank you to the team at ME estates for making our stay one to remember!
