Hotels with Pools in Canoa

Outstanding place to rest and to have lots of fun with family. The hosts were out of their ways just to make us feel good and to help if we needed something. The property is very safe, and my kids enjoyed the pool and bodyboarding at the beach (the property provides bodyboards and a couple of surfboards). We definitely recommend this place.

I just enjoyed the most relaxing and beautiful extended vacation at Hotel Bambú. It met my every expectation and then some. Service was relaxed and yet professional. The employees seemed truly happy. I consider myself a pretty low-maintenance guest, but whatever specific request I made, like a hammock on my balcony, was met with a cheerfully positive response. I chose this hotel because of its unique location at the intersection of a river and the ocean. The views did not disappoint. I watched doves nesting and iguanas eating fruits from the trees just feet from my balcony. Even though the property is very much surrounded by nature, the grounds are kept so tidy that I never felt the need to wear shoes. The owners are all about improving their sustainability practices, so if that’s important to you, this is your hotel. No, my room didn’t have air conditioning, but it did have a great fan and a mini-fridge. With the windows wide open, I fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke up to the friendly chatter of the local birds. I even scored myself a free drink from the bar for collecting a bag of trash at the beach (you can too). As a single female traveler, I felt very safe here. I never needed to leave the hotel grounds after dark if I didn’t want to because the on-site restaurant is open from 8 am-10 pm. The menu was loaded with terrific vegetarian options that rivaled any seafood-centered dish I tried. Since I stayed for two weeks, I was able to take advantage of most of the hotel’s services, including a fantastic massage in the little spa and laundry services. My clothes came back quickly and ironed at a price I’m embarrassed to admit to paying ($5). In short, if you’re looking for a safe, clean, kind, comfortable, sustainable home-far-away-from-home, this is it. It’s pet friendly too!

La vista de la playa desde el hotel era expectacular.

The view was nice and it was decently priced

Great staff.! The best swimming pool. do stay here.

Hosteria Canoa is a gem of a resort in Canoa Ecuador. There are many things about Hosteria that make it special but first I must mention the staff. Walter, Gustavo, and really all the staff I met went out of their way to accommodate our every need during our stay. From extra cups of cafe con leche for breakfast (provided free daily) to providing watermelon juice, calling cabs for quick town trips, or being patient with our lack of knowledge of the Spanish language as we attempted to communicate using Google translate. In all my travels I have never felt so at home and well taken care of. The room we had, 104, was clean and comfortable. It was spacious and the beds were nice. The super hot showers were excellent. The grounds with the pool and sauna were very well kept and it was a joy watching the iguana perched atop a roof or high in the trees. The walk to town was also quick and easy either on the beach or along the adjacent road. The property was also very secure with staff present and available 24/7. I can't imagine staying anywhere else while visiting Canoa.

fabulous location . great owners/hosts . great menu offerings
