  Description

  ►
  
  ·❆·「 Our place is located in the upper part of Punta Blanca, a small fishermen village in the Coast of Manabi.
  
  This is a small family hotel business that its now oriented towards offering wellness activities and at the same time involved in conservation practices with the surrounding habitat as well with a focalized integration with members of the fishermen village.
  
  Punta Blanca resembles a picturesque scenario from Ecuadors coast of the 80's since its rural landscape transports you to a scene where time had stopped, this brings up an ambiance of calm and tranquility almost immediately from the first to the last moment of your stay. 」·❆·
