Welcome to Amor de Mar

A love story

History of Amor de Mar

“So how much is it?” That was the joke that turned into the rest of our lives.
Ori, Amor de Mar Founder

Long story short is that we bought the hotel in 1991 while on vacation. We did not arrive with the intention to purchase anything but it was a spontaneous decision we never regretted.

At the time Montezuma was a dirt road with little to no infrastructure. A true oasis that only received adventurous travelers as it was much harder to reach at the time. Our first morning in Montezuma we walked and came across a tranquil setting which is now the lawn of the hotel. Speaking to the owners of the property we inquired about renting the little casita that was next to the hotel and were told, “if you want to rent you have to buy”.

“So how much is it?” That was the joke that turned into the rest of our lives.

I have been running this hotel for over 30 years, I raised my children here and can only look back with appreciation for that fateful day.

Do not hesitate to book this if it’s available! Beautiful home, beautiful beach, beautiful views and property! We stayed for one night on our way to Santa Teresa and wish we could’ve stayed a few days longer. It’s right across the street from the Montezuma waterfall trailhead. Perfect location, quiet, private. Overall amazing stay.

What a perfect place to call home! My husband and I loved staying in Casa Sol for our visit to Montezuma Beach. It was just the two of us celebrating our anniversary and Casa Sol is the ideal space for a couple! So cozy and romantic! The whole property is so dreamy and the perfect spot for some r&r! The staff are exceptional, Gabriela helped us in booking any activity we wanted and Lyn our waitress every morning for breakfast was so sweet! Our room was cleaned every morning and the the day of our anniversary we were sat at a table for breakfast specially decorated for us with flowers and when we made our way back to the room they had decorated the bed with 2 swans from towels, it was adorable! The property is a short easy walk to town and right across the road from the trail to Montezuma Waterfall which was incredible to see in person! We had such a special experience and are so grateful to the staff and the property! Can't wait to visit again!

I fell in love with a house! It was hard to leave. We had terrible weather and still such a joy to be in charming Montezuma. I will return, no doubt.

this unit is amazing, you are about 15 mins away from the town but zero minutes to the waterfall, the gardens are gorgeous and the tide pool is something special.
