I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a wonderful oceanfront view from the balcony, despite not being clearly advertised as having beach/ocean views. On the downside, there was sand on the floor, which was a bit of a nuisance.

I enjoyed the oceanfront view from my balcony, although the room had sand on the floor.

Service

6.0

The service was a bit hit and miss. While they feigned ignorance over Whatsapp, they were very helpful in person, especially in areas like the pool, bar, and restaurant.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location right next to the beach in Montañita was excellent, putting me close to all the bars and restaurants in the area.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was somewhat average. The menu seemed limited as only bread and eggs were included, while other items had to be paid for separately.

Facilities

The facilities were decent overall, but there were areas that could use some improvement to match the beautiful setting of the hotel.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although clean and comfortable, felt cramped with a large bed taking up most of the space. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming, even if I didn't speak Spanish. The location was excellent, just a short stroll from everything but lacking good beach access. The dining options were decent but limited, although the price was reasonable. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

I couldn't ask for a better oceanfront view from my balcony. The room, although tiny with a king bed taking up most of the space, was clean and comfortable. The hotel's location is a great recommendation for those looking for a beach view. However, it felt a bit overpriced for the overall experience.

Even though it wasn't clearly advertised as a smoking room, my tiny room with a king-size bed was clean and comfortable with a wonderful oceanfront view from the balcony.

Service

9.0

The staff worked tirelessly to take care of me during my stay, from the pool to the bar and restaurant. They were friendly, extremely helpful, and even assisted with the transfer to Quito. However, I found it a bit off-putting that they feigned ignorance over WhatsApp but quickly resolved the issue when I asked in person.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location near the beach in Montañita is impeccable and recommended for a relaxing stay. It's close to the beach and just outside backpacker/hipster central Montañita. Although a bit overpriced, the beach view rooms are worth it.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was satisfactory, but I wish there were more complimentary options besides bread and eggs. The quality of food was good, although extras came at an additional cost.

Facilities

The hotel's facilities were satisfactory, providing the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. However, the value for money may need a bit of adjustment to match the overall experience.
