Best Choice to stay here!

Reviewed By 414jasnai

We stayed for four days at Soga Hostel and we could not have made a better choice. The guys are super friendly and really make an effort to make you feel at home at their place. We had to work from there and for that it was really great too. The hostel has a beautiful terrace with very good WiFi connection and working from there was so much fun. It is just a two minute walk from the beach and the beach is really nice and clean and very few people. Oswaldo is a dear and you can always ask him for advice on anything, he is a very great cook too - you have to try his ceviche! We could not recommend the hostel more if you would like a chilled place, nice beach and cool people around.

Having as main goal to serve our guests with excellent attention, in order to become the first choice of lodging in Puerto Lopez to enjoy an atmosphere of total peace and quiet. One of the priorities of our hostel is to preserve the ecological environment with emphasis on caring for the ecosystem of the region and in to transmit these important values ​​to the community, as we believe that together we can move forward with this beautiful tourist parade.

Attentive and compassionate staff

Reviewed By 982jaimeec

We stayed at Tuzco Lodge at the start of a global pandemic. What a time to be there! We were treated with such compassion and respect by the owner and staff that I am almost brought to tears remembering it. Amidst travel restrictions, curfews, flight cancellations, the owner herself helped us get home safely in so many ways. I could not imagine a better scenario for such a difficult situation. Apart from that, the property, room, pool, rooftop terrace, and location were all wonderful. I hope to be able to bring my family back soon!

El Campito Ayampe

El Campito is a complex of cabins lauded as an ecological art lodge, and is surrounded by primary and secondary rainforest (as opposed to the area's predominant dry forest). It is just a few minutes away from the beach of Ayampe, retaining a private and secluded feel. The high-end bungalows with exposed brick interiors and earthly tones all have private porches with hammocks. The nicer ones have king-sized beds and flat-screen TVs with Direct TV, and the VIP suite even has a private outdoor Jacuzzi. However, there is also a pool and a Jacuzzi that any of the guests can use. El Campito's common area-with intricate wood-carved statues, wicker furniture and pool tables-combines nature and art.

Amazingly relaxing weekend...

Reviewed By Josephine M

Spent 3 days and 2 nights at El Campito Art Lodge together with some of the family. The cabins are very comfortable and are surrounded by trees and plants, enjoyed all the natural greener and the paths between the cabins and the restaurant. The typical breakfast of the area was really good. Would recommend this place to whoever is looking to enjoy nature in a family oriented setting. Near some really great places to visit and some really excellent restaurants.

I planned to stay one or maybe two nights and ended up four. Spondylus lodge offers everything you might need. Even the dorm is spaceous and has a hammock on the balcony. There are plenty of spots to hang out. The kitchen is well equipped and tea and coffe for free all day long. What I appreciated alot was the helpful host Mariscal who was always totally friendly and gave us tipps for activities, restaurants and dive centers. This place makes you wanting to stay in Ayampe!

Canoamar Hostal

Great place to stay

Reviewed By Inga_K_K

I really enjoyed my stay, got lucky to have a room on the upper floor with a great ocean view and the sound track to accompany. Having a hammock in front of room was great. The shower was excellent. There is a pool, but I did not partake, having an ocean right over the street. On the main street, but no issues with noise, perhaps due to COVID limitations. The beach-side restaurants all lined up just out the gate. The price very reasonable. In short, full package of all you need for great holidays. Would not mind if a light comforter was provided, but just sheet seems to be the theme all along the coast (it is however not necessarily that tropical at night when its local winter). Slept fine anyway with a long sleeve shirt on.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sanctuary Lodge just outside of Puerto Cayo. Roberto and his staff could not do enough for us. They all made it a memorable experience. If you are ever in this area I highly recommend this quaint lodge right on the beach. It is a 3 star facility with 5 star service!

The evening entertainment is guarantee as we are so very close to Montañita and its renowned night life. All these activities can be easily accessed from Finca Punta Ayampe Surf Hotel.

Overpriced

Reviewed By 780gildasc

Super Location with a nice view over the ocean, but rooms definitively not cleaned (we went there during the pandemic, therefore it could have had an impact because staff was limited) but at that time, overvalued. The restaurant is good. Old Matress, no hot water in bathroom, no A/C.
