This was like the 10th stay with Hotel Kundalini. So, I obviously love the hotel. It's about 100 meters north of the craziness of downtown Montanita You cannot hear anything but the ocean. It's a beautiful and tranquil place.
The rooms are clean. They're quiet. They're set up nicely so you can immediately assimilate and get comfortable. I highly recommend the hotel. I think they're amazinly good at being helpful. ON a weird note, The car would not start. The owner personally drove to a car...

No solo me indicó dónde estaba una tienda cercana, ¡me acompañó personalmente hasta allí! Su amabilidad, energía y atención hicieron que me sintiera como en casa. Un servicio así es inolvidable.

Stayed for 5 nights with my girlfriend. The owners of the hotel are lovely people, they were both very helpful and attentive and even gave us a free breakfast when we showed up way before our check-in time. The property is beautiful and relaxing. If you want to surf this is the place to stay. The owner shapes his own balsa boards which he rents and sells. they are beautiful boards, he has every shape and length you could want, and a short alley leads you directly to the best surf spot in...

Very nice and clean hotel. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, and had everything you would expect from any other hotel. My only gripe, and it is a very minor gripe, is that the restaurant only serves food during certain meal times. But they are close enough to many other good places to eat, so it really wanst a big deal. I was still able to get a delicious Mojito with fresh mint from the garden. And when I was able to eat at the restaurant for Bfast, and 1 dinner...

Es un lugar muy bonito. Estuvimos poco tiempo. Hubo mucho ruido en la noche para descansar pero seguramente se pudo haber ofreció habitaciones que hay más alejadas.

Clean, comfortable, friendly, and a great location. Karla was a fabulous host, her breakfast was so delicious with fresh Ecuadorian fruits, eggs and bread. The grounds are beautiful, lovely pool surrounded by lush local gardens and indigenous pottery. Our cottage was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed and ample storage space. We had a fabulous 5 nights, thanks to Karla's hospitality, lovely weather and the Pacific Ocean just across the road.

Best place in Olon! Amazing hotel owner and staff - they not only accommodated my early check-in, but also gave me a free upgrade to the top floor sea-view room! I was wow’ed the moment I entered the room. Everyone at the hotel was extremely helpful - someone sent luggage straight to my room, the kitchen accommodated my non-Ecuadorian lunch and dinner hours with customized, delicious dish, and they helped arrange a taxi to Guayaquil.
