*Free limited parking available-first come, first serve. If needed there is also a secure parking area right next door, which we can inform you about upon arrival (note: the next door parking charges a fee).
Montezuma is a small village with very limited parking everywhere. We recommend our guests to rent a car after they visit us or to rent a car on departure and have it sent to our hotel for guest pick-up.
If you plan to rent a vehicle, please ensure that it is a 4×4 vehicle if you would like to park directly on the Ylang Ylang property. Part of the drive is over the beach and you will need to activate the 4×4 feature BEFORE driving onto the beach. If you will not have a 4×4 vehicle, we have free limited parking spaces at our sister restaurant El Sano Banano in town, where we have a guard at night. If you’ll be parking at El Sano Banano, we have a beach shuttle that will drive you in and out for check in and check out only. Otherwise, it is a 15 minute walk to the parking area.
Please note that if we do not have your arrival details and you will need the beach shuttle, there is a very high chance there will be no beach shuttle available for you when you arrive. We kindly ask that you keep us informed on your method of arrival so that we can make your check in process as smooth as possible.
If you do not purchase the ticket before hand, then there is a ticket counter available for purchase at Musmani Bakery across from the ferry landing. There will be a ferry representative handing out pre-boarding car tickets for the line of cars-you need this ticket to buy the actual car ticket (this is not needed if you purchase in advance as you just go to the front of the line and the staff will have your ferry ticket printed for you (you do need to show proof of purchase which will be emailed to you).
We recommend to be at the ferry 45 minutes to an hour in advance (minimum) to buy the ferry tickets and wait in the car line. ***”Relleno” is where the ferry leaves from***
Note: The reason for these car schedules is that we have limited beach access given by the government so we must consolidate our trips on the beach and also we want to drive as little as possible on the beach so as to limit our “footprints” on the environment.
You will receive a confirmation from our booking engine and you will be all set.

Check-out time is 11:00am from the room. We have three shuttle times into Montezuma, one at 6:40am, one at 8:00am and the last one at 11:00am. You can take any of these shuttles or send only your luggage with the shuttle and walk into town later/earlier (we would store your luggage at Sano Banano Hotel). If there is no other check-out on your departure day, then we may be able to switch around the times, however we can not guarantee this until the night before.

Bringing your own rental car
PARKING YOUR OWN CAR OR RENTAL CAR:
Please let us know if you’ll be arriving in your own vehicle. During most times of the year, it is possible to drive to Ylang Ylang if your vehicle is 4×4 and can make it across the beach but please check in with us before attempting to do so. This is seasonal however, and not suitable all times of year depending on the conditions of the beach and weather as there are times the tides are extremely high. Part of the drive is over the beach and you will need to activate the 4×4 feature BEFORE driving onto the beach. If you will not have a 4×4 vehicle (or prefer to not drive over the beach), we have free limited parking spaces at our sister restaurant El Sano Banano in town, where we have a guard at night. If you’ll be parking at El Sano Banano, we have a beach shuttle that will drive you in and out for check in and check out only (this service is only offered between 7am -5pm, a later time may be available if you contact us). Otherwise, it is a 12-15 minute walk to the parking area.
Yes, please call our Front Desk at +(506)2642-0523 OR +(506)2642-0402 to notify of a possible after-hours arrival (anytime after 5:00pm). Please remember that our front desk closes at 9:00 pm but please be sure to advise if you will be coming in later than 5:00 pm so that we can make sure to have our driver available for your pickup at Sano Banano.

We recommend arriving about an hour beforehand if you have a car if you do not have a ticket. This can change depending on the size of the ferry or the day of the week (i.e. Friday afternoon). It is highly recommend to buy a ticket before hand to secure your spot, please see details on this here .
