night crew at the bar were friendly and accommodating. the only good thing about the bathroom was a good quality brand shampoo and gel soap for shower.

The breakfast was excellent, the pool was amazing, and the shower was great. Also, the patio is great. The ocean view isn't that great, but you're so close to the ocean, you can just walk there.

Great property at a very affordable price. It feels like a little tropical island. Exceptional service; the staff is kind, humble, and very quick to address any concerns. I wish I could have stayed more days, just to enjoy the pool, hammocks, the beautiful tub surrounded by plants, and the peaceful ambiance. 10 out of 10!!! Highly recommend it better than any property with front beach access. There is no need with this little hidden gem!!!!

Would 10 out of 10 recommend Tuzco! Every staff person we met was so friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The first night we discovered a minor issue with our shower. We let the owner know in the morning as we were heading out to walk around town. By the time we got back, less than two hours later, the issue had been fixed and our room cleaned! We weren’t even expecting housekeeping services. The pool was amazing and we felt so safe tucked away back there! Juan and his entire staff are great!

PL is a very pleasant fishing village in EC on the Pacific ocean. The beach is fabulous and there are many good places to eat. We recommend eating at Ancora. The owners and staff are great. The chef is from Barcelona and makes some original Spanish dishes.
One bit of advice for all these beach villages is eat early to avoid the loud music that fires up as the evening progresses. For some reason they think this extremely loud music is what everyone wants to hear.

There were lots of things to do outside the beach: whale watching, scuba, seeing the monkeys in the Sendero Bola del Oro, bird watching in Ayampe Reserve. In the community el Pital we used Carlos Manrique and it was a great guide - 0982767109 or on Facebook at sendero bola de oro. We went with the Rosita whale watching and they really tried to make sure you got your money's worth of whales, seals, and boobies! It is fun to get up in the morning and watch the fishing boats come back in with the birds fighting the fishermen for their haul! There were so good restaurants depending on your taste - the Hotel Victor Hugo had lots of variety and good desserts; the Il Capuccino pizzería Ristorante had good options and a friendly staff.

Like most travellers in summer we went to Puerto Lopez for Isla de Plata and the whale watching. It's definitely worth a visit as Isla de Plata, the turtles and humpback whales were magnificent.
Unfortunately in summer you only have a few real sunny days. We had one (when we visited Isla de Plata) but the other days were overcasted with sometimes a fine drizzle. Therefore we did not went to visit/see Parque National Machalilla which should be worth a visit as well.

Small beach town with much to do if you are into wildlife exploration.
Even though accommodation options are limited and fairly pricey (I recommend Casita Madame for the best value-for-money), we have stayed in and around Puerto Lopez for over a week, exploring the beaches, Isla de Plata, nearby villages… we go on tours, snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking— no reason to get bored!
Restaurants are a bit tricky so we switched to accommodation with kitchen pretty soon, but do try Aloha Cafe, Cappuccino (the Italian) or the Colombian place (around the corner from Cappuccino but I forget the exact name).

Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights.
Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights. Don't forget to visit Pacha Chocolates and coffee on the E15 north of town. The owners are there and will give a tour if you have 4 people. The day trip to Isle La Plata is a great trip for $45 each but be prepared to walk and climb.

The problem was that it was supposed to be sunny but it was just pouring rain the whole time. The town is mud bath in bad weather, only marginally set up for this kind of thing. It still represents a much better choice in terms of its range of services compared to the neighboring towns.
Lovely communal area with hammocks to chill, refillable water, TVs with working netflix and youtube, on site tour operator. Dogs and cat are so so lovely, cleaner is also the loveliest lady. Felt super safe with the locked outside door as well as room door. Quentin is absolutely amazing - he helped us not only get to him (Quito - Puerto López) including calling our Quito hostel but also have a million recommendations for in P L and helped us get from P L to Montanita with such ease. Deserves 11/10
The best about the hostel is the staff. Maria and Osvaldo are such a nice couple, very attentive, helpful and friendly. Puerto Lopez is very safe to walk, and so, despite not being quite in the center, Alcazaba was close to it, in a quiet part of town, and easy to reach walking or by moto-taxi (-1$). We felt at home. At first we were staying one night and ended up staying almost a week. There is also a small kitchen we could use, a refrigerator and potable water.
The hostel has overall very pleasant atmosphere, the owners and staff are welcoming and helpful, there is a lovely garden inhabited by local wildlife. This time I was in probably the cheapest room, still great but downside- no hammock. The hotels location is great, away from the bustle and blaring seaside bars of the busy part of the town, still just 10 minute walk. The beach at that end of town is also cleaner.
Amazing location across from the beach in a quieter part of town, but a very easy walk or short tuk tuk ride to the bars and restaurants in town. The staff was top notch, rooms were comfortable and well maintained w AC and the food was great. Couldn't recommend any higher. Best place to stay in Puerto Lopez by far and the staff couldn't be any friendlier or more hospitable
The staff will great and accommodate you like family. Flore went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Ayampe is a gem on the pacific coast. Lots of food and drink options in this small village. Very close from Puerto Lopez and its vast choices of adventure, Islla de la Pllata, diving, fishing... You can pick this place with no worries IF YOU bring cash with you...
what a great place! we stayed in a dome and it was very comfortable. the air conditioning was amazing, and our place was in a great location right across from the beach. it was affordable and the pool was an excellent touch. staff was very helpful. one of my favorite places that I’ve stayed in Ecuador!
The family was nice and always helped by questions. They gave us the room cheaper cause I made a mistake via booking a family room for 4 people.
Free water for drinking and hor water in the shower. Close to the beach and short distance to the main beach street.
We all slept fine but in the beds.
I mean where do I even start! the view and location is just perfect! It is a great place for relaxing or romantic getaway. Shandra is an amazing host! She pretty much pampered us! Can’t recommend House of Gates enough. It is my new favorite place in Puerto Lopez
We were very impressed with this hotel. The grounds were beautiful, the staff (Ava) was super nice, and the room was great. The beds were more comfortable than many 5 star resorts in the U.S. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.
The rooms and the cleaning staff were both great. Also the restaurant had great food, drinks and the servers were very attentative. Definitely will stay there again in Puerto Lopez. Very close to a quiet part of the beach. Short walk to the centro.
Nice clean room with beautiful yard. The owner and staff were helpful. It's off to the end of the town so it's quiet but also a 10 min walk to center of Puerto Lopez which wasn't a big deal for us, but may be for others. Would stay there again.
Heidi's place is in a fantastic location, right across the fish market on the malecon and super close to everything you would need in Puerto Lopez. Heidi was great and super welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here!
Excellent location and welcoming and accommodating staff. Wonderful breakfast spread including eggs, cheese, ham, brewed coffee, bread rolls, smoothie, fruit. Best pizza since I’ve been in Ecuador. Clean pool and rooms.
Most friendly staff ever! Beautiful gardens, excellent location. So many fun activities at the hotel and that can be arranged through the hotel. very pleasant common areas!
