Four-Star Hotels in Ayampe

This is the best hotel location I could have hoped for when choosing accommodations that were not beachfront. La Buena Vida is tucked away a bit so that you feel you have some privacy here. Ayampe is not a vast town so getting to the main roads and the beach was just a lovely stroll a few blocks away. The staff at La Buena Vida is INCREDIBLE. I loved each person I interacted with. Maria is so kind and generous, Johanna is incredibly helpful and accommodating in a graceful way. I am grateful for Kate who was so welcoming, helpful, and friendly; as well as Jay who was also very friendly. There are also two resident cats who I loved having around. The room was very comfortable and the perfect size for me (could also be perfect for a couple). The fan and AC were a godsend with the heat and humid environment. WiFi worked great while I was there, I had a lot of work and schooling to get done so I appreciated this as well. Ayampe is a very laid-back town with friendly people and super yummy foods, I highly recommend visiting and having a stay at La Buena Vida. Bonus: opportunities for yoga classes just up the road, surf lessons available, amazing pastries and fresh coconuts just up the street on the way to the beach <3

Everything was amazing. Not a single complaint. Staff was super friendly, bungalow was exactly what we needed with the mini fridge, surfboards readily available and a simple little breakfast each morning. Couldn’t recommend it more! 🥰

Location near to the beach, great view

Staff have been excellent. Breackfast amazing

The Hotel Kundalini exceeded my expectations in so many ways. I am a solo female traveler who was in Montañita to visit my American father who lives there and I was just so pleased with my decision to stay here for the whole 10 days (with two separate reservations). The grounds are breathtaking; being right on the beach surrounded by lush plants and flowers was so relaxing. The room was impeccably clean, the shower hot and with good pressure, and the bed was so so comfortable - pillows too! The sauna was a fabulous amenity to be able to enjoy - I did twice! I also booked a massage through them and the gentleman who was my therapist was professional, had the right amount of pressure and made me feel like I was walking on clouds for the rest of the day. My favorite part of this stay might have been the breakfast though! It was ample, varied and delicious - and showcased local recipes and ingredients. I tried all of the 6 that they offer, and when I arrived at my favorites they even let me substitute ham for avocado (I prefer to eat vegetarian in most cases). The fruit medley was ripe, varied and a lovely way to start each meal. The coffee and hot milk is free flowing and the juices change every day.  Sitting there, every morning, enjoying breakfast and watching the waves of the Pacific ocean crash onto the long long beach while reading a book was simply paradise. Last, but definitely not least, the staff was so so nice and accommodating. They helped me with so many things (like lending me a yoga mat or calling me taxis daily), were very friendly and so willing to modify things to make me happy. I really do expect to stay with them whenever I visit my Dad and I recommend that you do too if you are weighing your options for where to stay in Montañita. Hotel Kundalini is a tranquil little oasis in the middle of a bustling and high energy town, and you won't regret calling it home for a little while.

Very nice place, beautiful spacious rooms, nice staff speaking English, parking on site, breakfast on beautiful terrace, everything was good! If you go out in the evening there are nice bars and restaurants not too far away, seem to be quite safe on sea side, in general nice town.

We like everything's,will come back in the future
