Property information

Welcome to our private paradise directly in front of the beach in San Clemente/San Alejo, Manabi. Within our gates, you will be welcomed by friendly staff, a crystal blue pool, and luxurious draped pool beds. Unlike a hotel, you will be escorted to your cottage, which is not simply a room, but a small house, complete with a kitchen, dining area, a hot water shower bathroom, and either one or two bedrooms, depending on your selection of rooms. (The only exception is our solo matrimonial room, which is perfect for short stays for a couple). During your stay you may lounge in your room watching the Smart TV, take a swim in the pool, lay out on your private sunbed, or go to the second story deck for a great breeze and stunning ocean views. We even have a bar it you are ready to cool down with a cold beverage of your choice. You will have access to our complimentary coffee and tea bar from 7 am -10 pm. Just grab a cup and enjoy, it's on us! In the morning you will be served a delicious bountiful breakfast to start your day. If you want to explore the beach, restaurants, and shops are just steps away. Welcome!

Neighbourhood information

Nestled in an authentic fishing village in coastal Ecuador, our neighborhood is home to hundreds of locally owned seafood restaurants, small shops, and local tiendas. The clean, family-oriented town is situated on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Ecuador. At low tide, you can walk for hours on our soft sand beaches, stopping for a cold beer, or a photo opportunity and some of the most stunning sunsets South America has to offer.
