Santa Elena Hotels

The hotel was clean, and the staff was excellent and accommodating. It was perfect for Us. Thank you

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 esta ubicado cerca del centro de Montañita (que era lo que yo estaba buscando porque queria estar lejos del ruido) La calle en donde esta ubicado esta en buen estado por lo que pudimos caminar durante el dia hasta el centro de Montañita Cerca de Olon, por lo que pudimos ir a pasar el dia a esta playa. El personal fue muy amable y atento. Hotel Pet friendly por lo que puede ir con mi perrita Molly. Tienes cocina comunal equipada. La unica mejora a considerar puede ser el espacio del parqueo...

Definitivamente una joya escondida, pasamos una excelente estancia, desde el inicio al fin , un gracias a todos los que forman parte de Playa Canela, absolutamente regreso

Cozy, clean, friendly environment

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...

They went above and beyond.....the staff works hard for you.

This was a beautiful property to stay at for my wife's birthday! And it was my baby's first time at a real pool too - which was very clean and relaxing. The room was also clean and the bed was sooooo comfortable. I was really impressed by how helpful the staff were, it's been a very long time since I have experienced staff carrying luggage to our rooms for us. They also brought in a crib and set it up for us too. Food can be bought onsite, as well as receiving a nice breakfast. There's a whole...

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. The room is well designed and laid out - one of the best I’ve...

Nice relaxing place. No waterview really unless you are in a specific place on the property. But other than that, the place was nice, the staff helpfull. Need a car to go to the beach or in town.

I arrived at the Dharma Beach Hotel to find that the room I had booked was not available. The manager told me he had advised hotels.com to cancel the booking, but they had not done this, so I received no communication that there were any issues with my reservation. On this particular night (new years eve) the hotel was totally booked out, as was every other hotel in Montanita. The manager was apologetic about the situation, and organized me to stay in a room not normally used for guests at a...

Buena estadía

Nice staff

I was pleased with the cleanliness and the free buffet breakfast. The staff is pleasant and professional. I had a good experience during my stay. They have a new policy of charging $20 for your pet staying in your room. Just be aware and make accommodations in advance.

Great!!

A very nice hotel with plenty of food and drink and the view from the hotel is wonderful. The people are very kind and helpful.....but it would be nice if a few more of them either spoke or understood english. overall a very nice experience and a wonderful time.
