"Beautifull location, friendly staff, great food.
As this is located at one end of town, it would need a bit of patience to find (literally just follow the signs), but is well worth it."

"Al llegar al lugar me indicaron que ya no tenía reserva que tenían el local a tope desde hace 15 días... me devolvieron el valor de la reserva pero perdí 1 hora que pude haber disfrutado con mi familia"

"I stayed 5 days using a reservation with a Expedia for a total of $88, but on the day of check out they were charging $220. I didn't want to fight with the staff so I agreed to pay $160, about $30 per night, which is kind of high for the facilities offered. If you need to stay there cross check the price with the Hostal or pay a higher price at a hotel, it's better!"

"En primer lugar, la reserva fue hecha para el Francisco II, pero cuando llegamos, no quedaba ni una habitación. Nos mandaron a Francisco I. Al principio, todo estaba bien, pero luego notamos un olor extraño en el baño, y luego vimos cucarachas pequeñas en el piso.
Debido a estos incidentes, no puedo recomendar el hotel Francisco II. (ni el I)"

This was like the 10th stay with Hotel Kundalini. So, I obviously love the hotel. It's about 100 meters north of the craziness of downtown Montanita You cannot hear anything but the ocean. It's a beautiful and tranquil place.
The rooms are clean. They're quiet. They're set up nicely so you can immediately assimilate and get comfortable. I highly recommend the hotel. I think they're amazinly good at being helpful. ON a weird note, The car would not start. The owner personally drove to a car...

Stayed for 5 nights with my girlfriend. The owners of the hotel are lovely people, they were both very helpful and attentive and even gave us a free breakfast when we showed up way before our check-in time. The property is beautiful and relaxing. If you want to surf this is the place to stay. The owner shapes his own balsa boards which he rents and sells. they are beautiful boards, he has every shape and length you could want, and a short alley leads you directly to the best surf spot in...

Best place in Olon! Amazing hotel owner and staff - they not only accommodated my early check-in, but also gave me a free upgrade to the top floor sea-view room! I was wow’ed the moment I entered the room. Everyone at the hotel was extremely helpful - someone sent luggage straight to my room, the kitchen accommodated my non-Ecuadorian lunch and dinner hours with customized, delicious dish, and they helped arrange a taxi to Guayaquil. The room is well designed and laid out - one of the best I’ve...

El hotel es precioso, todo su entorno te da mucha paz y tranquilidad ya que está rodeado de la naturaleza en una hacienda y llega la brisa del mar. El personal muy muy atento solo que nos hubiera gustado que nos guíen más para aprovechar el lugar y hacer actividades adicionales porque había para ir a caballo, volar en helicóptero, caminar por las instalaciones y ver a los animales, servicio de spa y gym. El desayuno muy variado y rico, quedamos llenitos. Y el cuarto demasiado bonito también, tal...

I arrived at the Dharma Beach Hotel to find that the room I had booked was not available. The manager told me he had advised hotels.com to cancel the booking, but they had not done this, so I received no communication that there were any issues with my reservation. On this particular night (new years eve) the hotel was totally booked out, as was every other hotel in Montanita.
