The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, there was a hot shower. The hostel is located directly at the beach. There are nice balconies on which you can view the sea while eating or just hanging around. I also liked the breakfast which is prepared for everyone personally. Furthermore there is a pool where you can relax.

The photos posted on Booking are confusing, we were expecting to be in a different room than the one we were allocated. They should be more specific about which exact room you have booked (we had the impression that our room would have its own balcony and that it would be bigger). The breakfast includes eggs with ham, bread, coffee and juice. It could perhaps include an alternative to ham for vegetarians (e.g. cheese) and maybe some fruit. The room feels a bit small for two people with a couple of suitcases, I imagine it will get a bit annoying in case of longer stays. We stayed for one night, so it was perfect for us.

Great sea view from the balcony and restaurant, table and seating area outside the room, excellent location seconds away from the beach, hot water, internet connection with relatively fast speed but not always stable. I believe they will have a swimming pool ready over the next few days, which will be a nice addition!

During the period I stayed at La Pachamama they were constructing a new swimming pool. It was like staying on a construction site, so very loud during the day - BUT - the evenings were quiet - AND - it will be a cool place to stay once the pool is complete. Probably a few months away yet though (I stayed late Dec, 2022).

The manager, Robert is a good guy. It's best to ask for him and discuss your accommodation needs and travel experiences with him. He speaks English, Spanish, and Swiss/German (among other languages). The staff will accommodate what you ask for, within reason of course, just be willing /motivated and clear in your communication (use Google Translate on your mobile phone if necessary). Overall, I found the staff to be receptive to feedback - this was a positive aspect.

Slighty loud at night. Lunch and dinner food could be better

Loved the location in front of the beach. Took a night bus from Cuenca that got to Mancora at 5 am and the night security guard let me chill in the hammocks until the receptionist came in the morning and I was able to check in early for free. Decent breakfast. Next to a bar so a bit loud at night but the hostel itself is quiet (at least when I was there. Good tvs to watch football.

The room itself is a bit small. Also there are no windows facing the outside. The beach right outside the hotel isn't the nicest in Mancora, however it's a short walk to others.

Right in the middle of Máncora town and convenient to shops and restaurants.

Not the best breakfast included and the staff wasn’t very happy at guests.

great price and quite clean shower and toilet even though it was a shared bathroom. Breakfast was included.

Location !!

Stayed in March 2022

Noise from the surroundings bars, but it's the price for such location. Plastic cover of the bed was not very pleasant, especially in these weather conditions. Breakfast was good but simple.

The location and the stuff are great. I have no major complains.

This place was perfect as a solo traveler to Mancora. I had a private room and the shared bathroom was very clean. The breakfast is very good and the place is just steps away from the beach!

Stayed in December 2021

The walls were very thin, I could hear everything my neighbors were doing. However, I always bring earplugs so it wasn’t a huge deal for me. The downstairs room had a funky smell in the middle of the day but in the night and morning it was fine. The upstairs room had a plastic wrapped mattress and was very crunchy, I thought that was quite weird, but I still slept okay.

The location is amazing, right across the street from the best part of the beach and in the center of town. There is good breakfast in the morning included with the room. I have food allergies and Robert and the kitchen staff were so accommodating and made me off menu meals every day according to my restrictions. The room was simple, but it was all I needed. The bed had a mosquito net and the shower had hot water. I stayed in two different rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. the upstairs room was quite nice, I could hear the sound of the waves.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Went out of their way to help and look after me. They never stopped cleaning or fixing things the whole time I was there. Great location on the beach with a reasonably priced restaurant and a great pool.

Stayed in July 2024

Too much noise even on weekdays, music on the street until 3-4am, I couldn't sleep. Sheets weren't that clean. There were maintenance and workers making noise from 8am.

The facilities were ok Restaurant in the hotel Shower had hot water In front of the beach

Stayed in July 2024

Food is a little pricey, but not out of line with the rest of town.

La Pachamama hits all the right notes. It has a great surf town funk to it, but with all nice facilities: great views of the lively beach scene directly across the street, excellent hot showers, super staff, tasty food, nice room, convenient and economical laundry service and a nice pool though I swam in the ocean. I also really liked the Mancora area for birdwatching which was surprisingly excellent

Really excellent place and the best located with the loveliest people. Do yourself a favour and pick this one.

Stayed in June 2024

The owner is a complete selfish, inconsiderate, heartless wirhout empathy towards a guest with special needs. Should not be in the hospitality business sector.

Beach access, sunshine and relaxation.

Stayed in December 2022

Right on the beach and so close to everything (although it is a small town so most places are close by). Staff were so nice and friendly. Room was basic but comfy bed and shared bathrooms were spotless all the time. Lovely breakfast included and great view from the restaurant terrace.

Noisy. Could definitely hear my neighbors and the local nightclub was loud from 7pm-5am.

Friendly staff. Quick response from management and accomodating.

Stayed in October 2022

There is nothing not to like, which is a rare thing(and in general I complain about the slightest things). I stayed in single room with shared bathroom; the toilets were clean and the shower rooms have hot water(I'd read reviews on here saying no hot water).

Robert who runs the place is a hero(his home brew in particular is the stuff of legend). I've been traveling for 5 months in south America and without doubt this is the best place I've stayed. It's all heart. The staff are brilliant(particularly Caesar the night watchman) and their food menu has everything a Scottish person wants. I've been all over the world and stayed in many places folks, this place is a gem. It's located exactly where you want to be. For all of you looking through booking.com unsure where to go in Mancora; stop it. This IS the place. You'll love it here.
