Hermanos Perdidos Surf

Las Tunas

Set in Las Tunas, a few steps from Las Tunas Beach, Hermanos Perdidos Surf offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. A terrace, an on-site bar and shared lounge are available.

At the hostel guests are welcome to take advantage of a hot tub. Guests at Hermanos Perdidos Surf will be able to enjoy activities in and around Las Tunas, like cycling. There are alot of places to stay around the world, and most of them are in it for the money - but not this one. I had no real desire to go to Las Tunas, but after backpacking around Ecuador and Peru for a while, all of the favorite people I met on the road seemed to have the exact same recommendation: Go to Onda Hostel. So I texted the hostel owners on Whatsapp, where they proceeded to be somehow genuinely interested in answering my millions of questions over text before I arrived, arranging for transport, and even picking me up a massive guanabana just because I casually mentioned once I'd like to try it. The beds are comfortable, the A/C is cool, and the coffee is endless, but it's truly the people that make this place great. The owners are passionate about building a community and they instill that same stoke in their volunteers. If you're looking to stay in a place with some atmosphere, there is none greater in the Americas. I booked at this hostel for two days and stayed on for weeks, only leaving because I had to. To my new friends that I've made at Las Tunas - Thank you, and I'll be back soon!

Hostería Mandála 4 stars

Puerto López

Situated in Puerto López, a few steps from Puerto Lopez Beach, Hostería Mandála features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. An absolutely stunning option at the far end of Puerto Lopez, private and intimate, set in an enormous botanical garden, the choices spaces the most spacious, private, with the best views, in the case of my very ample room, views of the beach and a carpet of brilliant red flowers below the terrace. The room simple but very spacious, high ceilings, huge bathroom, large terrace with couch and hammocks ... it doesn't get better than this. Then the backdrop is the garden and the main house which itself is hugely alluring, with loads of space in the common areas. All structures in the complex are made of polished wood, with huge windows to let in all the light you can imagine. All doors and windows are screened to keep out bugs. It doesn't get better than this place - if you want to stay anywhere deluxe in or around Puerto Lopez, it must be the Hosteria Mandala.
