Beautiful Refuge in the Middle of Nature

Reviewed By Cardiaz

This place is beautiful. Wonderful service and the owner is a great guy. Had an engaging and interesting conversation with him. The view in the back is gorgeous and I love the animals. The best place to stay close to the beach and nature. I will definitely come again. Also, the food took a little while but definitely worth it. You can tell that the food is fresh and made with care.

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.

Nice place, surrounded by nature, far from the noisy downtown but close enough to just walk to the beach or chill at a coffee shop, they have a couple pools and hot tubs, an italian restaurant, the staff are really nice people, in short words, my stay was nice and quite, bad thing, the curfew and no parties at all anywhere !!

Excellent experience in a great Hotel

Reviewed By stephanievO6900OS

Traveling is much more than sightseeing, since it not only opens our minds, it teaches us other ways of life, other cultures, other customs, traditions, typical dishes of our beautiful country, it tests us and above all allows us to share beautiful moments. with the family. For vacation 8 months ago, I traveled to Salinas with my family and we stayed at the Hotel Colón Salinas, I loved the great view of the sea and the breeze of the wind, I am a big fan of the variety of food that the Hotel offers and the comfort of its rooms, during my stay I could read a book while listening to very relaxed music in the comfort of the balcony where the sunset view was incredible. I can't stand the accumulation of tourists in small places but for the large and comfortable facilities of the Hotel It wasn't the case, watching the whales very close really makes me nervous but nevertheless it was a great experience that thanks to the guides of the Hotel I was able to live good times on the high seas. I'm generally not a fan of suggesting that I visit Hotels, but I definitely recommend that you take the time to visit this place, not only because of the excellent service and prices it offers you, but also because you won't regret visiting it.

Pleasantly Suprised!

Reviewed By Discover255263

The staff was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The hotel restaurant had good selections and reasonably priced. Morning breakfast was good as well. The grounds were well maintained. Being right on the beach was a super plus and we enjoyed not having to get into our cars to drive to a beach.

Best spot in Olon

Reviewed By D7072QDthierryl

Me and my girlfriend just stayed there for 8 days. This place is exactly what we needed. It is right in front of the ocean and close to the action, but super quiet. The room (cielo) that we had had an amazing view and the sound of the waves was very calming. During the day we worked in their restaurant / chilling area and I rarely got so much work done. The internet is fast and reliable and covers the whole hostal. The staff is really great too. We'll come back next year for sure.

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.
