night crew at the bar were friendly and accommodating. the only good thing about the bathroom was a good quality brand shampoo and gel soap for shower.

The breakfast was excellent, the pool was amazing, and the shower was great. Also, the patio is great. The ocean view isn't that great, but you're so close to the ocean, you can just walk there.

Great property at a very affordable price. It feels like a little tropical island. Exceptional service; the staff is kind, humble, and very quick to address any concerns. I wish I could have stayed more days, just to enjoy the pool, hammocks, the beautiful tub surrounded by plants, and the peaceful ambiance. 10 out of 10!!! Highly recommend it better than any property with front beach access. There is no need with this little hidden gem!!!!

Would 10 out of 10 recommend Tuzco! Every staff person we met was so friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The first night we discovered a minor issue with our shower. We let the owner know in the morning as we were heading out to walk around town. By the time we got back, less than two hours later, the issue had been fixed and our room cleaned! We weren’t even expecting housekeeping services. The pool was amazing and we felt so safe tucked away back there! Juan and his entire staff are great!

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!
The hostel itself was very neat and clean and is perfectly located in the middle of Puerto Lopez.
Quentin, the owner of the hostel had great recommendations for us (he’s fluent in English, Spanish and German) and organised us a trip into the jungle to a local community.
He also had recommendations for snorkel and diving sessions off the beaten track.
We would 100% recommend staying there and catch up with Quentin for a chat and ask him what to do in and around Puerto Lopez!
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.
The best about the hostel is the staff. Maria and Osvaldo are such a nice couple, very attentive, helpful and friendly. Puerto Lopez is very safe to walk, and so, despite not being quite in the center, Alcazaba was close to it, in a quiet part of town, and easy to reach walking or by moto-taxi (-1$). We felt at home. At first we were staying one night and ended up staying almost a week. There is also a small kitchen we could use, a refrigerator and potable water.
Hello and thank you for this opportunity, i would like to say to the staff that live on property that they need to remember to have hotel guests lower their activities level after a certain time frame. IE, i stayed there recently and there was just too much noise in the patio area that didn't allow me to sleep it being way past 12 midnight!
what a great place! we stayed in a dome and it was very comfortable. the air conditioning was amazing, and our place was in a great location right across from the beach. it was affordable and the pool was an excellent touch. staff was very helpful. one of my favorite places that I’ve stayed in Ecuador!
The beach front in front of the hotel, breakfast, and room definitively went beyond my expectations and was very pleased. There wasn’t any hotel that matched yours on the service, great location, and staff. Keep up the great work and I look forward to coming back again- hopefully sooner than expected.
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!
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...
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!
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.
the location is great right on the beach and removed from the noisy el centro. the hotel is beautiful and the staff friendly and helpful. the room we had was large with a balcony facing the beach and was great.
Hotel is well set up. It has a beautiful pool and gardens. Breakfast was very good. We had an apartment which was relatively large. TV channels were plentiful. Very clean. Town is delightful.
Located well away from the business of the Puerto Lopez boulevard, this guesthouse is a little oasis of peace. The rooms and outside area are beautiful and inviting to relax in.
