    delicious breakfast
    charming pool area
    misleading photos
    lackluster initial impression

    it was a feast of flavors! Fresh local dishes to kickstart the day really set the tone for my culinary adventure. Plus, the pool area? Absolutely dreamy, perfect for lounging around after exploring the local eateries—David's Hamburgers just a stroll away!

    Now, I'll be real—when I switched hotels, the online photos didn’t quite capture the true vibe here.

    friendly staff
    limited activity suggestions

    The staff was very friendly and accommodating, which made

    our stay more enjoyable. The pool area was beautifully maintained, and it was great for relaxing with the family. However, I found the lack of local activity suggestions from the staff a slight drawback during our visit.

    impressive breakfast
    clean room
    friendly staff
    unattractive area
    transportation needed
    limited dining options

    The breakfast was impressive with a variety of local dishes and a beautiful ocean view. I appreciated the nice, clean room and felt very welcome thanks to the friendly staff. However, the surrounding area was not very appealing, making transportation necessary for accessing better dining options. This place is ideal for a short stay with family.

    fresh breakfast
    sea views
    unprepared staff

    great amenities , but staff could improve

    Breakfast had fresh local options that delighted our taste buds. The pool area was spacious and perfect for family fun. Our room offered stunning sea views, making our time there even more special.

    Staff seemed unprepared to help with local attractions.

    breakfast spread

    It was just an optimal selection for a brief visit in Manta with fantastic value for money. I really enjoyed the amazing breakfast spread with fresh ceviche and local rice that kicked off my day perfectly. Try to ask about local taxi services to help you get around.

    delicious breakfast
    lovely pool
    bottled water quality

    Had an amazing stay! The breakfast options were so delicious and filling. Enjoying time by the lovely pool was a perfect way to relax. The only downside was the bottled water quality.

    spacious rooms
    delightful pool
    limited activity suggestions

    The pool area was delightful, and I truly loved how spacious the rooms are—perfect for a family getaway!

    The staff had fewer ideas on fun things to do than my cat at a dog park. They could use a fun ideas manual!
