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.

The place is nice and well located. We arrived at around 2.30pm and checked in immediately. The beach is not far from the property, at walking distance. It was safe during the day and night. The staff was informative and didn't intervene at all during our stay, so we could enjoy a nice private stay.

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...

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!
The property was a botanical garden located on the nicest part of puerto lopez beach( away from all the noise of the city center). I was rather suprised to find such high value at such a low price. My favorite part was the amazing food and people i met at my stay here and the spectacular cleanliness of the room that was prepared. The hosts were also a wealth of information about the local area and i cant wait to return to this special spot! Thank you so much!
really great rooms with big comfy beds, tv, ac, and big bathrooms. Felt so comfortable there that i extended my stay from 3 nights to 6! The whole place has the feel of a mini resort. The breakfast is great and always changing, the decor and vibe is beautiful. The pool looked excellent too. Location is about a ten minute walk from the beach- a bit further than most other hostels and hotels but not a big deal.
The hotel was magical. We stayed in a bungalow, which was very private and surrounded by the a beautiful garden. We even saw iguanas climbing the trees outside. The breakfast was good and the staff helpful and friendly. Just know there is no AC, but the beds was comfortable and there were 2 fans. The restaurant next door, madame, is fantastic for lunch and dinner. Overall, a great stay!
The property was across the street from the beach. The food is fresh and the flavour’s are amazing, wow, first class dinning on the beach. Sophie is originally from France and takes pride in maintaining her hotel in high stand. With great food, lodging and ocean views from the tiki style villa, you will soon realise Casita Madame was the right choice for your fun summer destination.
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...
The breakfast was super 😊,home bread wow and la location is great 👍 observation of all kind of birds from our terrace and hamacs! The owners speak many languages and help us a lot . The whole site is a discovery of all splendid things, just walking on the site of the hotel is an experience unique ,trees ,the nature are wonderful. What a beautiful place !
Great hotel located a 3 minute walk to the center of everything. It was great to be close to everything but not right in the middle of all the super loud music. Beds are super comfortable, the wifi worked great (which was a pleasant surprise) and the breakfasts are delicious. The shower also had BOTH hot water and pressure.

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
Quiet location, so good sleep, but still easily walkable area. Nice staff who provided advice on day trips we planned. Good breakfast included (fruit, eggs, bread, juice, coffee/tea). Hot water. AC. Delightful hotel dogs. Hammocks on balconies.
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.
Good enough breakfast (though a little disappointing by Ecuadorian standards). The room was comfortable enough, although not exceptional. Nice location on beach, a five minute walk from most restaurants.
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.
The room, kitchen, pool are clean. it's near to the Pto. López malecon, we took a bus to move the hotel from the malecon in 15 min (aprox.) And we paid $0,75 per person.
