Reviewed By kevinmK6778FN

Manta is a beautiful city and our stay at Oro Verde was amazing. The hotel has a wonderful view of the ocean with everything else you could ever need. The staff are all so nice and helpful, especially Linder, from the first day we arrived he was always there to help answer any questions and support us in any way he could. The gym and pool were a definite highlight of the hotel. Overall I am very pleased with my stay and would recommend the Oro Verde to all of my family and friends.

Upon check-in, they charged us 27% more $$$

Reviewed By VisionaryTraveler11

We traveled here from Charleston, South Carolina. We used a reputable travel agent to set up our reservations. We arrived here, to the Mantahost Hotel late at night and was greeted by the most unfriendly night manager. She appeared to be a very unhappy person and in the 30 minutes that it took for us to be checked in: she never smiled once. She was by far the most unfriendly employee of a resort hotel that I have ever encountered in my years of traveling. She, representing this hotel, proceeded to explain to us that our reservation price would NOT be honored and that we were required to pay additional money: increasing our room price by 27% . We showed this night manager our reservation tickets "CONFIRMED by both, our travel agent & the hotel". However the night manager said that it wasn't showing up in her system with our agreed upon price. She also said that our reservations for a beach front room would NOT be honored and that if we didn't want a parking lot view, we would have to pay extra for the upgrade. We kept showing her the emails confirming the price and that our reservations were for a beach front room. The end result: she would not give us what we paid. And being almost 11:00pm. We paid the extra money under protest!!! The front desk manager was RUDE, UNFRIENDLY & CHEATED us out of almost $200. Next she increased the Taxes: from $9.00 to $36.00. (a 400% increase). Her explanation for this upcharge was that the reservations were made in my wife's name and not my name. The restaurant breakfast buffet was not very good. We just ate the fruit. The housekeeping was terrible. We are currently working with our travel agent to get our money back: but this company doesn't care about this situation. They SCREWED us!!! By the way: this was originally a Howard Johnson's TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ?

Hosteria Mandala

Hosteria Mandala is truly a unique establishment. It is not your average hotel; it avoids distractions such as pools and televisions. Instead, it emerges you into a world of nature, art and relaxation. The cabins/rooms are located within a vast botanical garden that has been nurtured for the past 20 years. It holds hundreds of different types of plants, trees and flowers and is home to many animals such as iguanas, white bats and hummingbirds (to name a few). We also have Great Danes dogs that will make your stay feel like a home away from home. The owners have dedicated 20 years of their lives into creating a paradise for art lovers. Even before you enter Mandala, you will encounter dolphin monuments, a whale skeleton exhibition and our 150m of murals. Within Mandala the attention to detail does not stop. You will find exquisite wood works, paintings and musical instruments. Mandala promotes the importance of human interaction and bonding. The common house provides an ideal space to play board games, solve puzzles and to talk while enjoying a drink with our delicious deserts and ice creams. We also have a gaming room with a pool table, foosball table and dartboard. We provide beach cabins where you can hang a hammock and enjoy the sun, sand and ocean. Hosteria Mandala is the ideal place to relax. The cabins/rooms have access to terraces with hammocks and patio furniture with a view to our botanical gardens. If you would like, for an additional charge, you can have a masseuse come to your room and give you a massage. We also have comfortable chairs in the common house and a vast library with books in multiple languages. What is better than a good book and a glass of wine or a hot coffee? Those who love nature, art and relaxation will find a true oasis in the little town of Puerto Lopez.

Faded Beauty On The Beach.

Reviewed By drsarav

Lovely and convenient location with well maintained garden. Bedding and shower were clean. Common areas were rarely used by any of the guests as far as I could tell. Cabin had plenty of blankets and fans and towels. One star taken off because property needs some attention to upkeep: sagging/misaligned doors, large cracks in walls, dingy/faded curtains. The hot water faded in and out which meant showers took twice as long. The books and games were faded and damp. A few service missteps (forgotten laundry instructions, bland food, hair in the butter) take off another star. Seemed like nobody was in charge; although everyone was pleasant and accommodating, there didn’t seem to be a service standard. There were two well-behaved & quiet dogs on the premises, which was pleasant. I was NOT pleased about the two cats in the kitchen. Since this was my first time on the coast, I don’t know what the Puerto Lopez lodging baseline is; overall this was “fine” but not amazing. I’d probably stay here again given the location. Hopefully the owners invest some time and money into maintaining the infrastructure and guiding the staff.

If you look for tranquility it’s the place to go to, you can relax at the hostel around the pool, on the balcony or in the chilling areas or at the beach. Everything is outdoors, you can sometimes spot hummingbirds, iguanas, crabs and many other birds. The staff is great, always here to make sure the guests get the best experience.

Best place to stay in Puerto Lopez! It’s far enough from the city center to filter out the racket (I’ve never heard so many car alarms while eating dinner) but close enough for an easy safe walk. Víctor and his staff are so welcoming and nice. The breakfast was delicious. Room 15 is great, quiet and has a beautiful view.
