We had a great stay over 4 nights but could have easily stayed longer! It is located at a beautiful beach which is not very touristy. Ayampe also is the perfect location if you are looking for something relaxed. The hotel with Anabel and Franziska is so great. They were so friendly and helped us organize some stuff (travel, surfing lessions etc). We felt very welcome and would definitly recommend it to everyone. The rooms are pretty and very clean. So really all in all perfect! Thank you two so much!

Perfect beachside hotel with great staff and breakfast!

The hotel was super welcoming and I loved being able to watch the sunset over the ocean from my bed. I was travelling alone, so the hotel was in a great spot to be able to walk to everything safely in Ayampe. The cafe was great and even out of season I really enjoyed everything about it. They we really accommodating when I wanted to go to yoga in the mornings and have a later breakfast and super helpful with lower-cost airport transfers and local recommendations. I loved it so much I returned a week later. You can't beat the view! Perfect if you surf too as they have boards you can use.

Wonderful location, yummy breakfast and amazing staff

We loved everything! The location is perfect, right next to the beach. The rooms were clean, the bed is comfortable and the breakfast really nice (especially the sour dough bread. We loved it!) The staff was exceptional and super caring: we felt like home. It was my partners birthday and on very short notice they organized many things: cake, breakfast, a reservation for a table in a lovely restaurant. <3 Also we got loads of help with our travels/ arrival: there was a national strike and some roads where blocked and we received many help which busses we should take. Also they organized a taxi for us. We loved it and would definitely come back! Highly recommended!

Amazing place & friendly staff!

A great location, very close to the beach. We got an upgraded room (with sea view!!), which was very nice. The breakfast with fresh fruits was delicious. We also booked a tour to Isla de Plata via this hostel, which was very well organized. Because the tour was in the early morning, the hostel made it possible for us to have an early breakfast, and even arranged a taxi to pick us up.

Hammock

The room was clean and we loved the balcony with the hammock and view of the ocean. Communication was easy and we got many tipps. Included breakfast was good.
