Located in Montañita, 400 metres from Montañita Beach, Casa Del Merman at GayMontanita House provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and room service for guests.

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a balcony with pool view. All rooms are complete with a private bathroom and air conditioning, and selected rooms have a patio. I had a wonderful stay here. Even though the weather wasn't on my side, and I was the only guest in the hotel for the duration of my stay, I still really enjoyed it. The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I'd definitely stay here again.

Set in Las Tunas, a few steps from Las Tunas Beach, Hermanos Perdidos Surf offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel has a terrace and a hot tub. There are alot of places to stay around the world, and most of them are in it for the money - but not this one. I had no real desire to go to Las Tunas, but after backpacking around Ecuador and Peru for a while, all of the favorite people I met on the road seemed to have the exact same recommendation: Go to Onda Hostel. So I texted the hostel owners on Whatsapp, where they proceeded to be somehow genuinely interested in answering my millions of questions over text before I arrived, arranging for transport, and even picking me up a massive guanabana just because I casually mentioned once I'd like to try it. The beds are comfortable, the A/C is cool, and the coffee is endless, but it's truly the people that make this place great. The owners are passionate about building a community and they instill that same stoke in their volunteers. If you're looking to stay in a place with some atmosphere, there is none greater in the Americas. I booked at this hostel for two days and stayed on for weeks, only leaving because I had to. To my new friends that I've made at Las Tunas - Thank you, and I'll be back soon!

Situated in Puerto López, 600 metres from Puerto Lopez Beach, Tuzco Lodge features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Featuring a terrace, the 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a tour desk for guests. For the price I can't fault the place so it's a ten all the way from me. I got the apartment across the road from the reception. Excellent spacious place. Jacuzzi in the bath, bedroom up the stairs. All good. Breakfast was great. Tuzco is a five minute walk back from the beach which, bearing in mind how noisy the area at the front can be is a real bonus. The pool and its surrounds were clean and well organised. But the best thing about the place is Julio and his staff. Welcoming, friendly and professional at all times. They arranged an early breakfast for me on two of my mornings and could not have been more helpful.

Set in Las Tunas, a few steps from Las Tunas Beach, La Perla Hostel and Cabins offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel has a range of water sports facilities. Convenient location with both street and inside parking. Transportation arranged by staff from airport. Very spacious property with multiple private cabins and some dorm-type rooms. I stayed in Cabin #5, which is closest to the ocean and had queen bed with ceiling fan, mosquito net, private bath, and balcony. There’s a large central house with dining and kitchen areas, and upstairs space for yoga, including also hammocks and ocean view. The ocean is directly in front of the property, accessible through a private gate. The beach is very long, over 6km, and you can walk to the next town or to one of several local restaurants with excellent seafood. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Proprietor offers bird watching tours at a local conservatory and also whale watching trips from the neighboring town. The property is very clean with many colorful plants and native trees. The covered rear entry has a guest kitchen, with seating and dining areas.
