Had a lovely stay in Hanga Road hotel. Staff and communication were excellent, especially as we arrived quite late, the security guard checked us in and was very helpful. Had a sea view room which was great, if a little on the small size, but we managed ok and the location made up for it. Breakfast was great plus excellent WiFi made the stay very comfortable.

It is amazing beach and surf town on the Ecuador coast.
It is amazing beach and surf town on the Ecuador coast. Frankly I can’t get enough, with festive atmosphere, restaurants and artists, great sandy beaches with popular surf breaks. Trips and trails inland and spectacular wildlife from pelicans and many various birds to iguanas and a herd of cattle that wander through town and the beach. A colorful and unique experience for any adventurers.

Very pleasant small town with lots of good restaurants,...
Very pleasant small town with lots of good restaurants, places to stay and a vibrant nightlife, not to mention a lovely long beach with decent surf, so what's not to like?
Can be noisy on the main streets, but isn't that what many come for in the first place?
Prices are on the high side at restaurants but there are some excellent options. There is even a wine store with some decent options.

Montañita has two faces.
Montañita has two faces. First, it is a mecca for partying, where you can find just what you want. There is "Lost Beach Club", one of the top worldwide clubs for electronic music accordingly to the DJMAG. If you are not in the mood for electronic, you can go for regaeton in one of the clubs alongside the "Calle de los Cockteles" or Cocktail Street. Also, if you want to get crazy with an awesome party, visit "Caña Gril", must go.
Second, it is a paradise for surfers and solo travellers. If you match this description, so you must stay in "La punta de montañita", nice hostels full of chill people. Also, you can work remotely. Imagine just picking up your surf table after a long day working, and surf pretty nice waves while looking a beautiful sunset. That you will get in Montañita.

I love montanita because of the surf, fun waves.
I love montanita because of the surf, fun waves. You can take hour bus ride to puerto lopez and do day trips, diving, snorkeling, kayka, hiking, so much. There is a waterful close by (10 min by taxi) to hike about 2 miles each way. Montanita the actually city can be quite loud, lots of shops and places to eat.

Great small beach town.
Great small beach town. Pretty quiet on the weekdays but surges to fill blown liveliness on the weekends. I experienced a mix of both - relaxing and partying and it was perfect. The entire town can be experience in a few days,anything longer than the excitement starts to wear off. The beach offers surfing, snorkeling, and amazing sunsets. The town is small but has lots of shopping and food options. There are also several nearby beaches (1-2 hrs) which cost $20-25 to get to by taxi. Overall really enjoyed.
The only good thing are the hammocks.
I will try to be as objective as possible. We arrived at My Little House Surf&backpacker Hostel with a reservation for 4 nights and left the second night. We left because of a very serious problem for any kind of accommodation: not being able to sleep. If you are on a budget and looking for drinking party (with a relation of 5 men for a 1 woman), may be this place can be your best option. Nevertheless, there are other options in Montañita for this price and you should read the rest of this review.
Couldn't ask for a better place to stay in Montañita. The staff is amazing and will help in whatever you need. The location is perfect and is right on the beach and on the surf point and is quiet enough after a night out in El Centro to get some quality rest. Along with a great facility. They offer surf and yoga lessons, rentals etc. The breakfast is different every morning and is delicious. Thank you
Fantastic location - Peaceful and away from the busy and noisy centre of Montanita. Right beside the beach. Can still easily walk along the beach to access the nightlife.
Clean comfortable room with a mosquito net over the bed. Shared bathrooms were never busy and clean.
Welcoming, friendly staff.
Excellent WiFi and breakfast (changes every day!)
Offers great yoga, surf lessons and board rental!
Wonderful place to stay, 20 mins walk along the beach to Montanita, or $1.50 cab to town. Kamala is situated right on the beach, you can hear the waves in your hut.
The rooms are simple, fan was in good condition and strong. The chef makes incredible food (especially the wraps).
The staff are super friendly and welcoming and we even saw whales right outside the hostel!
I loved staying at Kamala, the property is beautiful and there's so much to do in the area. Or, you can relax and have a tranquil place to explore, do yoga, meditate and even work remotely as there's wifi.
The kitchen bar area was super nice and there was always nice people around to chat with.
We'll definitely come back to Kamala next time we're in Ecuador!
Traditional hotel in the area of La Punta - Montañita directly on the beach. Great pool and location. Comfortable bed and room. Delicious breakfast and friendly staff. Nice bar area and a short walk over the beach to other restaurants and bars. Very pleasant atmosphere.
This is THE best place to stay in Montañita! Everything was perfect- the location, the furnishings, the hammocks, a perfect hot shower, and it had all the amenities and beyond. The host was also wonderful, great communication. Highly recommend the surfside cabanas!
The location is excellent, it's in the quiet side of montanita. It's right on the sand and at the best surfing spot. The staff is friendly and the place is very safe. The internet was very good, I worked and had several business calls without any problem.
The family running the hostel were so nice and went out of their way to ensure our stay went well. The location was perfect - just on the edge of the Malecón. We were just outside “party central” so slept well, but could join in the fun easily.
Selina Montanita had a great location and staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The girl at check in was great. Food was great. I stayed in a suite and the room was quite large and the AC worked well. I would definitely come back again.
Good location which is slightly off the party area of Montanita. Very friendly staff, clean rooms (there are only 4 in the hotel). Kitchen available. Lots of options within walking distance. Easy bus or taxi access for visits to Olon.
Sapa inka is a perfect place to stay in montanita. Super close to the beach and restaurants but far enough to relax quietly. Danny is a great guy and will do whatever it takes to make your stay great. Highly recommended.
I spent the weekend with a group of friends, everything was fantastic! the room was clean, the pool was nice, great music, shoutout to German, he was amazing. I can’t wait to be back on my next trip to Montañita!
The location is perfect. Is is on the beach and only a short walk from the town. In the night you don't hear the music and the party from montanita. So that's a big plus
