Find Hotels in Montanita, Ecuador

If you stay here, I recommend choosing a 4 bed dorm versus the 8 bed dorm. The four bed dorms are just so much nicer and your stay will be more pleasant! If you are looking for a party hostel where you can drink and smoke until wee hours of the morning this is the place for you! If you are looking for a bit more quite and comfort this probably isn't the hostel for you! Most nights people were partying until 2amish at the hostel so it could be difficult to sleep if you want to go to bed before this. The breakfast is nice and you can choose between eggs how you like them or french toast. They have all day coffee and tea available. The staff are kind and the place grows on you after a few days and you end up staying more days than you expected. Again I recommend booking the 4 bed dorm or even the 5 bed dorm! They also have hot water which is nice!

My boyfriend and I spent a few weeks exploring the coast of Ecuador. We decided to stay at Hostal Kunalini for our last three nights in the country, which ended up being a great way to close out our trip. The facilities were immaculate and clear attention to detail had been given throughout. Awesome breakfast, close to town but still secluded and quiet. Kind and attentive staff. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

Punts Hills is located at the furthest north point of Montanita, so you're away from the busy hustle and bustle but only a 10 minute walk into town. Unfortunately, there's a nightclub that blasts techno/rave music from about 2pm-2am all weekend and has no consideration for any of their guests. There's no way to escape the noise on their property. You can hear the music from this beach (which is down the hill and across the highway). I think under different management the place could actually be a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was 1 scrambled egg and a croissant - so fine - nothing extraordinary .. The day we arrived the hotel graciously sent a cab to get us, it was difficult to check In as not a single staff member spoke English (we're at fault for my speaking Spanish).. The room was very basic and unkempt and their were quite a few different bugs.. The first morning the drain didn't work so one shower flooded the bathroom and room, the second morning there was no water at all.. The beds were hard but sufficed. There is AC this was great and when their was water you could have a hot shower. :) We were given food vouchers for breakfast and two free drink vouchers for evening. We enjoyed a beer and pina Coloda off of a menu we were given when we showed our tickets.. We then had to pay for these on checking out.
