Ecuador is considered one of the most biodiverse countries and we are lucky enough to live surrounded by it. Wake up to a peaceful , friendly and chilling environment.

Hostal is directly on the beach and surf spot, we have kayaks, surfboards and stand up paddles for rent. We love water activities, spearfishing, snorkeling, kayaking, etc, but surfing is our main activity. We also provide yoga sessions and surf lessons. We are a family of 3 from Utah. We have a friendly dog named Lobito, 3 cats (Cash, Chapito and Güero). We provide lodging and rental services to travelers around the world.
