It is an excellent place to spend with family or friends, it is quiet, it has a jacuzzi pool. Beautiful views of the beach and without a doubt its excellent cabins. It's a 10/10

It was a great experience ,weāll return. Beautiful place, nice staff.
My husband and I can't wait to return. The owners Ed and Tania are great and inspiring people. There is no need for TV so just unwind and connect with nature.You will truly be able to relax.I'd highÄŗy suggest to rent a car and explore nearby beaches. We ate in Montanita at Rocios and Marea. You can surf, take nature walks and do kayak. Do not expect to watch TV. You can rely on good wifi and surf the web without a problem.

Un hotel mas
En general bien, aunque no hay agua caliente en la habitación y el aire acondicionado no funcionaba bien hacia calor en la habitación.
Beautiful, natural area on top of a hill with view of the ocean and sunset. Fresh meals cooked daily, worth the wait. Owners Ed and Tania were friendly and helpful. Spacious room with king size bed. Nice getaway!
El personal super amable, fƔcil llegar, cerca de todo en la ruta del sol.
Vista excelente. Lo único que no me pareció excelente es que por ser tan rústico no pudo ser tan impecablemente limpio. Tal vez si hubiera mÔs personal de mantenimiento se pudiera tener ciertos espacios mÔs cuidados y limpios. Me encantó que es un lugar para estar retirado y descansar.
Delightful stay. This is a little piece of heaven in the cold Equatorial forest. A peaceful place sorrounded by trees and hills. The sounds of the jungle at night were fantastic. Our meal at the hot tub by the end of the day was the best reward after almost a 3-hour drive from Guayaquil. Tania, the owner, was permanently available and interested in our comfort. Thank yoy, Tania! We missed not staying longer. It is evident that there is lot of effort and care in mantaining this eco-lodge charming as it was.
This is a beautiful hotel in a serene location away from the traffic. The owners are very kind and knowledgeable. Food was great too. We had our own cabin overlooking the valley and sea. It is about a ten minute walk to the beach.

Mixed Reaction
Perched on a hill overlooking both beach and rain forest, the Lodge's setting was striking. Some side trips advertised were "not available" and the staff appeared rudderless with the owners off-site for the weekend. However, the staff was very friendly. The food was only so-so and service was slow.
El ambiente y la ubicación es muy relajado, perfecto para un descanso. Buen servicio. El acceso es complicado, se debe hacer en vehĆculo. El wifi no funcionaba en la habitación que nos tocó por lo que habĆa que ir a la zona central. Queda a unos 10 minutos de montaƱitas
El acceso al hotel malo. EstÔ en lo alto de una loma y la mayor parte de la carretera sin asfaltar en muy mal estado. Mala señalización y sin iluminación.
Nos cobraron un 5% mas (17,5$) por pagar con tarjeta. Ćste tipo de coste deberĆan advertirlo de alguna forma y avisar que si no se paga en efectivo tendrĆ” un sobrecoste la estancia.
Lo mejor Antonio, el seƱor de mantenimiento, que nos ayudó muy amablemente a sacar el coche remolcĆ”ndolo porque se nos quedó atrapado en una cuesta llena de barro. Si no hubiera sido por el, tendrĆamos que haber llamado a una grĆŗa.
