We were nicely welcomed to the hotel. There is a parking in the inside court. The location is superb, one can walk to the beach or try the many restaurants around. Breakfast was not included but was not expensive. We ordered a cooked breakfast which was served rapidly from the kitchen.
The bed was comfortable and we had a nice balcony from which we were able to observe a brilliant sunset. There is a lovely bar located directly facing the beach. I would stay there again.

The place is nice and well located. We arrived at around 2.30pm and checked in immediately. The beach is not far from the property, at walking distance. It was safe during the day and night. The staff was informative and didn't intervene at all during our stay, so we could enjoy a nice private stay.

We booked online and when we arrived, the hotel was locked up with chains at the gate, not a soul was there. We waited for 3 hours and finally decided to book somewhere else. I hope the owners are fine, but seriously not impressed. Close you online bookings if you leave...

This is the most peaceful place I have stayed in all my years travelling. It is so tranquil and lovely, right next to the beach. The only sound I could hear was the waves on the shore.

PL is a very pleasant fishing village in EC on the Pacific ocean. The beach is fabulous and there are many good places to eat. We recommend eating at Ancora. The owners and staff are great. The chef is from Barcelona and makes some original Spanish dishes.
One bit of advice for all these beach villages is eat early to avoid the loud music that fires up as the evening progresses. For some reason they think this extremely loud music is what everyone wants to hear.

There were lots of things to do outside the beach: whale watching, scuba, seeing the monkeys in the Sendero Bola del Oro, bird watching in Ayampe Reserve. In the community el Pital we used Carlos Manrique and it was a great guide - 0982767109 or on Facebook at sendero bola de oro. We went with the Rosita whale watching and they really tried to make sure you got your money's worth of whales, seals, and boobies! It is fun to get up in the morning and watch the fishing boats come back in with the birds fighting the fishermen for their haul! There were so good restaurants depending on your taste - the Hotel Victor Hugo had lots of variety and good desserts; the Il Capuccino pizzería Ristorante had good options and a friendly staff.

Like most travellers in summer we went to Puerto Lopez for Isla de Plata and the whale watching. It's definitely worth a visit as Isla de Plata, the turtles and humpback whales were magnificent.
Unfortunately in summer you only have a few real sunny days. We had one (when we visited Isla de Plata) but the other days were overcasted with sometimes a fine drizzle. Therefore we did not went to visit/see Parque National Machalilla which should be worth a visit as well.

Small beach town with much to do if you are into wildlife exploration.
Even though accommodation options are limited and fairly pricey (I recommend Casita Madame for the best value-for-money), we have stayed in and around Puerto Lopez for over a week, exploring the beaches, Isla de Plata, nearby villages… we go on tours, snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking— no reason to get bored!
Restaurants are a bit tricky so we switched to accommodation with kitchen pretty soon, but do try Aloha Cafe, Cappuccino (the Italian) or the Colombian place (around the corner from Cappuccino but I forget the exact name).

Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights.
Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights. Don't forget to visit Pacha Chocolates and coffee on the E15 north of town. The owners are there and will give a tour if you have 4 people. The day trip to Isle La Plata is a great trip for $45 each but be prepared to walk and climb.

The problem was that it was supposed to be sunny but it was just pouring rain the whole time. The town is mud bath in bad weather, only marginally set up for this kind of thing. It still represents a much better choice in terms of its range of services compared to the neighboring towns.
The owner, Marianela, was super friendly, caring, welcoming, helpful and gracious. She made us feel like family and offered to help us with every part of our stay in Puerto Lopez. She even booked our whale watching excursion. The “room” that I stayed at with my 84 year old mother and elderly aunt was more like an apartment with a terrace and beautiful view of the city and the Pacific. It’s a perfect place for a peaceful vacation while still having access to the activities in the city. I would recommend this accommodation to everyone!
It's a beautiful place, the cabanas are cute and comfy. The place is very near downtown, with great access to restaurants and stores. The beach is right across the street. Still, it's a nice quiet place, but if you want action it's not too far away. The staff helped me book a tour to Isla de la Plata, which was absolutely fantastic, whales, sea turtles, sea birds, and beautiful Ocean views. Also the fro t of the hotel faces west, so you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
really great rooms with big comfy beds, tv, ac, and big bathrooms. Felt so comfortable there that i extended my stay from 3 nights to 6! The whole place has the feel of a mini resort. The breakfast is great and always changing, the decor and vibe is beautiful. The pool looked excellent too. Location is about a ten minute walk from the beach- a bit further than most other hostels and hotels but not a big deal.
Pleasant hostal with a great atmosphere created by the owner. The hostel has a great location in the center and a short walk from the beach. Puerto Lopéz is a very pleasant and quiet place to relax, with great restaurants and bars. The options for what you would like around Puerto Lopez will advise you directly at the hostel.
The garden, the breakfast, the beautiful wooden furniture and architecture - especially in the community areas with instruments, games etc.
The free hammocks you can bring to the (old) beach canopies directly at the ocean.
This is a nice place in Puerto Lopez and close to the parts of the beach with less garbage.
i never give 10s in my reviews but this hotel exceeded my expectations.
it has a very good price
it is literally in front of the sea
the room is super nice
and the hosts are ADORABLE.
thank you so much for making my stay so comfortable and feeling at home since the moment we entered through the doors!
The family was nice and always helped by questions. They gave us the room cheaper cause I made a mistake via booking a family room for 4 people.
Free water for drinking and hor water in the shower. Close to the beach and short distance to the main beach street.
We all slept fine but in the beds.

El Nido has a lovely location at the end of the male on. We were lucky enough to have the sea-facing room. A nice breakfast was served outside (with fabulous coffee) and the owner was on hand to provide help and advice. A great choice of hotel for a stay in Puerto Lopez!
We were very impressed with this hotel. The grounds were beautiful, the staff (Ava) was super nice, and the room was great. The beds were more comfortable than many 5 star resorts in the U.S. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.
Breakfast not offered, It's a small, budget priced hotel, comfortable, convenient to the beach but far enough away to be fairly quiet. The owner is wonderful. He went far out of his way to accommodate us and was very sociable as well.
Excellent location and welcoming and accommodating staff. Wonderful breakfast spread including eggs, cheese, ham, brewed coffee, bread rolls, smoothie, fruit. Best pizza since I’ve been in Ecuador. Clean pool and rooms.
This is Ecuador and I did not expect more than what was delivered. The staff was helpful and tried their best to meet our requirements. The place was clean which is important.
