Paradise is enhanced by our green practices of grey water recycling for our garden, composting, recycling, herb and vegetable gardens for guest use.

My second "home" in Ecuador

Reviewed By till_grame

After staying at the Montañita Cabañas for almost 2 months for learning Spanish in the nearby school, this lovely place feels really like home to me. My room which I shared with 2 other friends was very clean for Ecuadorian standards, the bed comfortable and the shower has warm water. The staff overall was really helpful, but we could find the cleaning staff very often though, it would have been nicer to have them around more available. Also on the weekends the Wifi gets slow sometimes.

You don’t get what you pay for

Reviewed By franciscobY4797WE

You don’t get what you pay. When we first came even the receptionists don’t wear masks, they don’t clean anything they don’t even fill the alcohol dispenser. It’s like they are stoned all day and don’t give a f***k about anything at all. Shared bathrooms are dirty, blankets and sheets are stained. Everything by the pool is old and doesn’t look anything like the pictures. Seriously you can get a better place or even similar in town for less than half that price!

Hotel Sotavento

Disappointing end

Reviewed By KellyTherrien

Second time visiting this hotel. Stayed here with our tour group and everything was going good until the day we went to check out. One person in our group had $500 USD taken from her purse in her locked room... and we were the only ones staying at the hotel. Confronted staff about the issue but no resolution. Tried to contact the hotel owner about the issue but so far unsuccessful. Stay at your own risk! Will never return...

Awful!!!!

Reviewed By jaycflash

Stayed here in 2018 and everything then was amazing. The view can't be matched and compared to the hostels downtown, the VIEW IS SPECTACULAR! Thats where it ended for this time around family trip. Plumbing disaster in 3 rooms that a family of 12 stayed in. We are still here now and my elderly Mother in Law can't even use the toilet in the room. 420 room should be demoshed and rebuilt! Service has been zero accept for the hard working bartender at the pool. They couldn't even allow food to be brought up. The plumber was in out room in two days more than we were. No flushing water any where not even at the pool!! Disgusting smell of toilet water. As we have asked for a manager more than 5 times in 2 days , they simply told us no one is around. Just plain awful. Save your money and maybe try Dharma Beach, although we never stayed there. This is a 2 star MOTEL with a 5 star view. Absolutely disgusted with this entire New Years stay.

Nice location

Reviewed By Travelingourworldwck

This hostal is pretty. Great location and friendly staff. We paid $30 per night including breakfast. Easy access to the beach and plenty of restaurants around the hostal. 5 minutes in car to get to downtown. Wi Fi was good too. They offer yoga classes too!
