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.

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 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!
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.
this is really amazing place in Ecuador. Maybe the best hotel we visited during of our trip ... really very nice garden, bungalovs .. everything was so comfortable and we spend there 3 nights. I have to reccomend this hotel and - ocean and beach in front of the hotel - no big vawes, you can swim there without no problem and hotel lends beach equipment for free. Tasty and big breakfast, excellent jams!!! This place is = MUST BE!!!
Amazing location across from the beach in a quieter part of town, but a very easy walk or short tuk tuk ride to the bars and restaurants in town. The staff was top notch, rooms were comfortable and well maintained w AC and the food was great. Couldn't recommend any higher. Best place to stay in Puerto Lopez by far and the staff couldn't be any friendlier or more hospitable
The staff will great and accommodate you like family. Flore went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Ayampe is a gem on the pacific coast. Lots of food and drink options in this small village. Very close from Puerto Lopez and its vast choices of adventure, Islla de la Pllata, diving, fishing... You can pick this place with no worries IF YOU bring cash with you...
Heidi is really nice person, she organized a trip for us to Isla Plata, Puerto Lopez is great place for enjoying fishes market (Heidi taught us how to prepare shrimps), nice terrace with kitchen and wiew, clean room, cold shower but it is not problem in hot weather, also take some ears plugs for sleeping because of the cock (they are everywhere in Ecuador) :))
I mean where do I even start! the view and location is just perfect! It is a great place for relaxing or romantic getaway. Shandra is an amazing host! She pretty much pampered us! Can’t recommend House of Gates enough. It is my new favorite place 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.
its an amazing place! really calm right at the beach a little walk to the city Center👌! The owner is really nice and the facilities are perfect! if you want a calm place at the Ecuadorian beaches this is the perfect place!
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.
very beautiful room in a even more beautiful & relaxing garden with extra area to sit and make coffee/tea (available). Great restaurant on the property with the best coffee of Ecuador (my opinion at least ;-))
Location, sea view from the room, decoration of the hotel and all the staff was great and helpful.
Really nice place to stay in puerto lopez, i recommend and i am only sorry that we just stayed for one night
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.
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.
