Hotel Amor de Mar has been a family run local business for the past 30 years. Amor de Mar actively supports the local community of Montezuma. All of their fruit and vegetables are organically grown and sourced from local producers. Their delicious marmalades are all homemade with organic fruit by a woman in Cabuya. They also source our eggs from the next town over. They do their best to get all they need from local producers so you and your family can get a taste of the real Costa Rica. Throughout the hotel and restaurant you will find unique art, mosaics, artisanal lamps and furniture made by local artists. The owner supports the local school by contributing to special educational art and dance projects as well as improving the infrastructure.
