Fabulous stay

Review of Puerta Sol Inn
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 6, 2016
We were pleasantly surprised by the courtesy and helpfulness of our host Wendy. She is the consumate host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome and looked after. Manglarita is situated about a 15 minute walk from the hippy town of Mantanita. We were going to stay there at first and were very happy to have chosen this hotel away from the noise of Mantanita. Our room was comfortable, the water hot and the shower strong. Breakfast each day offered different foods that we enjoyed immensely. The town itself haas very friendly people. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended!!

              My husband and I stayed at the Puerto Sol Inn for 4 nights and found the hospitality of Wendy and her staff to be outstanding!! The breakfasts were great and our room and the surrounding areas within the hotel are clean, secure and well maintained. The beach is less than a block away and the continuous sound of surf hitting the beach was a great way to be lulled to sleep at night or during siesta :) Up the street is a gringo bar (James place) where some of the friendly local Expats hang out. They are a great bunch of people and it's been fun having them share their experience and wisdom of the local area over a few beers. Overall we highly recommend this place and would visit again :)

              My husband and I were planning a trip to Ecuador and I searched and searched for the perfect spot. All that searching paid off when we finally arrived at Puerto Sol Inn. Wendy greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. The Inn is lovely, quiet and right near the ocean. We loved it there so much we are returning in August.

              Brilliant Hotel, All of the staff were friendly and there to help whenever you needed it. The hotel itself was clean and tidy and the perfect location next to a beautiful beach. A room with a balcony is a must, many days were spent on the balcony or in a hammock in the courtyard. the breakfast's were delicious! I cant find anything bad to say about this hotel, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Montanita with the added extra of a lovely hotel in a quiet, friendly town with a clean picturesque beach. It is a 15 minute walk or a $2 taxi ride into Montanita, The Manager Wendy and her team are always available and happy to phone for a taxi for you if you don't fancy the walk, as well as helping with anything else you need, I have never been to a hotel with staff as kind and friendly as Puerta Sol Inn, Thank you for making our holiday perfect Wendy!

              We arrived at the hotel at night and after a good night sleep, we woke up in the morning and was greatly surprised and inspired by the view of the ocean from the window of our room.  Once we managed to drag ourselves from watching this beautiful view to breakfast, we enjoyed the delicious homemade food. We then spent three wonderful days at the beach, the hospitable town of Manglaralto, and this hotel with its great service and facilities.  We are looking forward to visiting this wonderful hotel and Manglaralto again soon!!
