Luxury Hotels in Montañita

We LOVE the Kundalini! This year for New Years Eve they even added a bonfire of manigotes on the beach at midnight - it was marvelous! Special shout out to staffers Acua, Lucia, and Flora who were wonderful! Everything was terrific and first class all the way - perfect location, great rooms, excellent restaurant, and everyone is always so helpful and nice to deal with. Kundalini is the best!

Nice View, Nice Restaurant. The *restaurant* staff and chef were accommodating. The menu has a lot of options and the food was good. The hotel is beachfront so you can walk directly to the sand.

Location near to the beach, great view

Best place we stayed in Ecuador Pool Awesome design in the rooms and garden Great staff and owner

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

A super peaceful place next to the Pacific Ocean. The people are so nice and it is the perfect place to enjoy nature and to learn surfing!
