Hostería del Parque

Carlos Valle, the administrator, was especially attentive and helped arrange a birthday dinner surprise for me. We had a great meal, with dishes that looked lovely, tasted excellent, and came in just the right portions. I'd suggest the grilled seafood platter for two. Dessert was very good too, and breakfast the next morning had several choices. The espresso was the best. We also liked having direct access to the private beach, and the pool was a comfortable temperature. It was peaceful enough that we put our phones away and just enjoyed the stay. There's also a terrace with a great view. The hotel felt secure when we arrived, the staff were outstanding, and the facilities were tidy and well cared for. We found it and booked it on arrival, and we'll be back soon.

It's about an hour and a half from Manta along a beautiful drive, so I'd stay in the area and enjoy the hotel instead of making a same-day return. You can take day trips and come back for a meal or time on the grounds. They can arrange whale watching and transport in both directions. The food is very good, the restaurant keeps long hours, and the service is excellent. The gated hotel sits right by the ocean, with easy access to the beach. It's peaceful, with attractive, well-kept grounds and a quiet, relaxing feel. Sitting in the restaurant and watching birds and fishing boats was lovely. I'll definitely return and recommend it.

Very clean, easy to get to, and well located, with great service, 10/10. There's plenty to do, 24/7 security, and a private beach just in front of the property, with clean, friendly water.

The rooms are comfortable, with great attention to convenience and comfort, and the jacuzzi and pool are lovely. The grounds are gorgeous, there's a beautiful viewing deck, and the beach in front of the hotel gets cleaned regularly. Staff are plentiful and quick to respond, the food is good, and security is top notch. We usually choose solid hotels, and my mom didn't have one complaint. I can't say enough good things about this place.
