Hostel quality resort pricing. The images present much better than the reality and pricing is not justified.

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.

Fabulous spot
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.

Relax and Enjoy Nature
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.
