We made a reservation well in advance for $45 but when we arrived we were told that the $45 rooms have no hot water or air conditioning and so we were somewhat obligated to take the $70 room (quite expensive for ecuador). The location of the room was amazing (balcony overlooking the ocean) but the room itself was terrible. The... More

I stayed here for a week in early February and had a great visit. It is managed by Americans, so English is widely spoken. The beach is really wonderful and isolated. There are no facilities in the area, so it is very quiet. I thought the food in the restaurant was very good and priced well. This area is bound... More

You will find little else in the Puerto Cayo area you could call accommodation. There are slim pickin's for hotels along this section of Ecuador's Coastline. Puerto Cayo has no infrastructure for travelers. Your home for all necessary amenities will be this small hotel. The food at the hotel is reasonably priced and the included breakfast is adequate. The village... More

I had made a reservation at least a month ahead of time for 8 people based upon a recommendation from a friend of the managers. We arrived the day after carnival ended to a complete mess! The American managers had left for the U.S. leaving their 20-something son and girlfriend in charge. There were serious staff issues that could not... More

The management here is great. Anything you need they will accommodate. The place was clean and everyone was pleasant. The rooms are fairly standard for Ecuadorian beach hotels. Nothing fancy, but everything worked and was as expected. The views are spectacular. The photos online are exactly what you get. Management was kind enough to show us several varying types of...

If you want a place away from the hustle and bustle of most beach front communities in Ecuador, this is the place. We had one of the two rooms that have balconies overlooking the ocean - they are a little pricey but worth it (we even saw whales from the balcony one day). The bedroom was quite large though the...

Our family of five stayed at Los Suenos del Mar Resort for a full week. The staff and owners were all very kind and responsive to our needs. The resort includes many amenities that our children enjoyed: pool table, clean swimming pool, access to movies and television in the lobby, and a beautiful stretch of deserted beach! The resort also... More

We spent 43 days traveling the coast of Ecuador. Stayed in very new condos near the beach and right on the beach. Hotels that were right on the Malacon, the street between the beach and hotel, with great views. But of all places we stayed, Los Suenos del Mar was by far the best. It was so nice that we... More

We traveled up and down the coast for 6 weeks and by far, this was our favorite place. It's great- they have these comfortable chairs set up on the beach under the shade of some palapas. Sitting there, my wife and I really felt like we were in our own relaxing Corona beer commercial. Their beach is very clean and... More
