Getting To/From Montezuma

International Flight:

You can book your international flights into San Jose, Costa Rica (SJO) or Liberia (LIR). 


Getting to Montezuma:

Option 1: Book a short, puddle jumper flight to Cobano Airport. Please note that there are limited daily flights between Liberia and Cobano. You can book the puddle jumper flight through with Green Airways or Sansa Airlines. Please plan to arrive in Cobano by 3pm on January 18th. I will arrange a taxi from Cobano to the resort in Montezuma (10 minute drive). 


Option 2: If you prefer not to take a puddle jumper, you can also take a boat. You can book this through Zuma Tours. They will pick you up from the airport and you will drive to Jaco (1.5 hour drive) where you will board a boat and take the boat all the way to Montezuma (1 hour). The hotel will pick you up from the main beach and bring you to the resort (10 minutes).

We just got back from the Costa Rica Family Retreat, and I can’t say enough good things about it. Ali created such a welcoming and relaxed vibe. My kids LOVED it, and we actually got to relax and recharge instead of just chasing them around the entire time...it felt like a vacation and not just parenting in a new place. It was so wonderful getting to know the other families and watching the kids (and us!) form friendships even after a short time. Everything was so well thought out, from the activities to the schedule to the amazing food. It was such a great balance of movement, mindfulness, and fun family time. We left feeling happier, more connected, and way less stressed—exactly what we needed. Every single person we encountered on our trip was friendly and helpful---above and beyond. If you’re looking for a retreat that actually gives you a break while still being an amazing experience for your kids, this is it. Already looking forward to the next one!

Ali Mat yoga retreat at the Ylang Ylang resort in Montezuma, Costa Rica was a great experience. Ali is a dedicated yoga teacher, scheduled an am and pm class each day so we could go out on tours or do spa treatments during the day. Ali and the Ylang Ylang staff went out of their way to make it a fabulous experience for me. Zuma Tours and shuttle service also highly recommended. Excellent experience.

Wonderful relaxing but active new year vacation!! Coming back next year. 💯 would recommend. The resort is quaint and beautiful. The people were all so nice and accommodating. Ali is an amazing yoga instructor and host! I really appreciated how she would instruct us on yoga moves that paired well with whatever activity we did earlier. Really help work out the sore muscles.
