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.

Viejamar is a wonderful hostel. The location is perfect, right on the beach near the village of Las Tunas. 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.

This place is amazing. The family is very nice. This place is very comfortable. The sea breeze in the morning along with sound of the waves. I never thought that after I left I would still be going back in my mind to the trip. This place is really nice and once you stay here, you don’t want to go back home.

Hosteria Guachapeli

Our facilities are located 300 steps from the beach and one of the best surf breaks in Ecuador. A well-kept secret, our beach remains uncrowded. Our rooms gaze upon the Pacific Ocean. We are located on the central coast, close to everywhere yet far from the noise. Guachapeli is privileged to sit near the small beach town of Las Tunas. Our rooms are a football field away from a crowdless beach with amazing waves. Hotel Guachapeli is family owned and guest happiness oriented. Rooms are comfortable and air conditioned, with a beautiful view and a hammock. Guachapeli's restaurant serves delicious Ecuadorian and international favorites. Our kitchen staff is talented, creative and counts on fresh ingredients. Catch of the day delights include fish, lobster, prawns, calamari, oysters, clams and octopus. We offer assistance to our guests in organizing scuba diving tours, fishing tours, bird watching, whale watching, surf lessons and board rentals. Guests are our number one priority

Onda Hostel

We focus more on fun, chill, nice vibes. We welcome any backpacker who has good stories to tell, whatever the age. We offer large social areas, a common kitchen and clean rooms (dorm, family or cabana), each with its own private bathroom. We'll also provide you with multiple activities on site or in the area but reading a book in a hammock enjoying an ocean view is also part of the experience!

Unmissable spot for relaxation and surfing on the coast of Ecuador

Reviewed By Shaun M

I was lucky enough to arrive at Onda before it had opened and spend a total of several months there volunteering, so I saw a big part of the early evolution if this amazing place, and got to know it’s owners Mat and Maribel really well. The hostel itself is super comfy and is really well equipped; the dorms are spacious with nice beds and the essential mosquito nets, the bathrooms are clean and the showers have hot water, the private cabanas are personal, cute and have two small patios with seats and hammocks to lay the day away, and the entire hostel has lots of nice little spots to hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather. And best of all, the kitchen is huge, and becomes a really fun common space to meet other travellers and share chats and card games. Staying for a while, you notice that guests that arrive at Onda tend to stay a little longer than anticipated, and I think that speaks to how comfortable and fun the hostel is, both for it’s amenities and for the atmosphere. It has a familiar, personal vibe (or onda?) and that’s a credit to the owners Mat and Maribel and the volunteers that they attract to be a part of the team. Once you meet them and the resident dog and cat, Gallito and Tortilla, it becomes pretty hard to leave. Add the beach with it’s warm water and fun waves, and a tasty breakfast everyday, and you have a combination that’s hard to beat. Oh and make sure you get upstairs or to the beach to watch the sunset! Thanks guys!

Reviewed By juliette1417

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.
