Location is perfect, staff was beyond expectations - every single person was super nice. I never experienced something like this before. We "managed" to lock our car in the keys inside - they help us also with this problem, amazing!!! I can only recommend this place. Nice beach at the property with sunbeds in the shadow. Bfast has 5 options in independent restaurant next to hotel, its ok for the money.

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.

Perfect location, 50m from the beach - near the best surf in Montanita and in the quiet part of the town. Super friendly and accommodating staff, very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast, and some of the best yoga I have practiced. I met some amazing people here too. I extended my stay, twice. 10/10
