Downtown Montezuma Hostel
HOSTEL
The new kid on the block is this funky little two-story hostel, run by the ever-accommod-
ating and amiable Elena. She's got four-person dorm rooms and some private doubles, all
with cold-water bathrooms. Rates all include breakfast. There's a communal kitchen and
plenty of hammocks. The facilities are nothing special, but the place has a fun, friendly
vibe that guarantees a good time.
Hotel Lucy
GUESTHOUSE
This beachside
pensión
is popular with shoestring travelers, thanks to the hammocks on
shared terraces overlooking a rocky beach. Rooms are small and drab and service is
lackluster, but the views from the upstairs veranda are terrific.

A sweet stone lodge built into a lush inlet of remnant jungle, just a few steps from the
beach. The upstairs 'suites' have high palm-beamed ceilings, wood furnishings, and new
tile throughout. The cheaper downstairs rooms are not all that, but they all have access to a
lovely pool area (with kiddie pool), an open-air
rancho
and shady grounds with abundant
wildlife.
