It is a very nice coliving hostel, nice and helpfully stuff. I felt very welcome!
a quite beach and peaceful place without many tourists. Unfortunately the room where we slept wasn't very clean tho.. some animals feces felt at our bed at night,two times.. there wasn't a mosquito protection :/

Beautiful elevated view from where you can see the whales very easily, excellent service and a very good family atmosphere !! All built with bamboo! Great place...

Fantastic place to relax, get some work done and just enjoy the simple things. Great setup for digital nomad types with 2 very nice work areas and good internet. Awesome beach for kitesurfing too.

What an amazing week with Inga, Juan and there two little boys. This is more like staying with a big family of guests and friends all eating together and playing volleyball most nights. If you are after a cheap and cheerful coliving hostel with some private rooms and dorms + good WiFi and kitchen facilities - this place is a must. If you normally stay in fancy hotels and guesthouses and have higher expectations than we do - do not choose it. Look at the pictures and the Facebook group for it and see if it is your kind of travel experience.

I stayed for two weeks and liked it a lot. The shower is very warm. The view is amazing, you really can see the Wales there. I was even lucky enough to see some dolphins. Even though it was in August (cloudy season) I had around 4 to 5 sunny days per week. I can recommend it and would come again.

This place is awesome. It is right on the beach, while I was here I saw whales almost everyday, the internet is great, and Inge and Juan are awesome. I really can’t recommend this place enough. It is the perfect place to relax. The town is a bit small but it has the basics. Also you can take kite surfing lessons and you aren’t too far from two national parks. I had an amazing time.

Best place for digital nomads in Ecuador. Good wifi, amazing view to the ocean, tranquil and calm place. The owners are easy going and super friendly and they prepared the place for not only work but also to play, so there is a volleyball court, juggling toys, beach tennis ... you don't get bored here :D

This place is totally awesome. We spent 45 days here.
Ingrid, Juan, Ana, Logan, Yago & Boby are more than a host. They stayed in our hearts as a part of the family.
We had a big room with private bathroom. It was over our expectations.
The kitchen is a big, oven is working, you have a fridge, blender, all kind of pots and dishes and if you know how with ingredients that come on a daily basis on a food truck, you can create really good meals.
On the other side breakfast, prepared by Ana, are delicious. She will drive you through traditional Ecuadorian cuisine, you will taste all different flavors, salt, sweet, sour... mmmm
As a digital nomad's very important part is working space.
I count more than 35 plugins all over the hostel. You can work from every place, classic desk, window table, hammock, lazy bag or down cabana.
For the position, top of the hill, and area, without big infrastructure, we had only 2 days breakdown with the internet, It takes only a few hours, and it was mostly caused by power outage. I think Juan already connected solar panels with the router so that is solved.
At the end my full recommendation going to this coliving hostel.
P.S. Ingrid, I count again and I think that you owe me 2 beers, normal ones not the light one.

It is a beautiful place, with an wonderful ocean view and you can really relax there. The way up is a little steam, but only for 5 minutes Walking, If you come from the beach. The room was totally OK, clean and fine.
