My week at Ylang Ylang was nothing short of magical! The resort is nestled beautifully in the jungle, providing an immersive experience while still being close to Montezuma. The staff were wonderful, and the food was top-notch, making it a truly relaxing getaway. However, I did feel a bit on edge walking the dimly lit paths at night, and the lack of car access limited our nighttime outings. Overall, a fantastic choice for those looking for serenity and connection with nature.

Ylang Ylang is an enchanting resort nestled in a quiet area, making it a perfect getaway while still being a short walk from the bustling town of Montezuma. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, with the beach just a stone's throw away. The accommodations are clean and luxurious, but the journey to reach the resort can be a bit challenging due to road conditions. The service from the staff is remarkable, and the food is simply divine, especially for those with dietary preferences. A slight downside is the location's remoteness, which may deter some travelers.

Ylang Ylang Beach Resort is a tropical paradise, offering stunning views, wonderful staff, and a true sense of retreat. The accommodations are varied and cozy, perfect for families or groups, though getting there involves a longer walk or a Land Rover ride along the beach. Dining was delightful with a diverse menu, and the spa tucked in the jungle provided a unique experience. While the pool is small, the beach more than makes up for it with its beautiful scenery and warm waters.

This resort is a little piece of paradise! It’s perfectly secluded yet just a short walk into Montezuma for a bit of local excitement. The amenities are top-notch, with a stunning beach view and exceptional dining options. The cleanliness and attention to detail are remarkable, making it a truly memorable stay. Just keep in mind that the ocean isn’t swimmable right outside the resort, requiring a short walk to reach a good beach spot.
