“Stop scrolling. You’ve found the right one 😁👌🏾”
Don’t look any further. 😁 This is the one. If you want a tranquil, comfortable stay that’s on a beautiful bit of beach, that’s secluded enough to leave ya things on the sand for hours while ya swim, but then a 5 minute walk to the main break, town and all the restaurants.. than this is it. Comfortable bed. Cold AC. Hot showers. Breakfast until 11am 👌🏾. And the only noise heard from your room at night, are the waves 😌. The owner, Pechi, is an absolute legend who’ll sort out any possible need you crave or how to instantly make you feel like family. As did the rest of the La gondola crew. Including Pechi’s beautiful dogs and cats who give you plenty of cuddles. Everyone was awesome. It was hard to leave, but slightly easier knowing we will most certainly be back to stay at La Gondola. Pechi, always a spare room available in Australia for ya mate! 😁🫶🏽

“Beautiful beach hotel”
I loved staying in this place. Very relaxing in front of the beach you can hear the ocean from your bungalow. And you are only few mins away from the centre. I didn't want to leave that beautiful place. Definitely recommend.

“We loved it”
The menu could use more variety, specially the breakfast. But it was good. The accessibility to the beach and downtown was the best.

“I think the price is too high for what they offer, which is a more on the run for surf stay.”
Nothing. I Think it’s very Overestimated.

“Little oasis further away”
a nice place in a type of a hippie village, a short walk from the city. Good beach front, nice bar and very atmospheric rooms. There was even a pool :P

“The best place to relax!”
Absolutely loved the quiet, chill vibes at this place. Comfortable beds, lovely rooms with porches from which you can sit and listen to waves at all times of the day. It's not a modern or fancy place but we've stayed here twice now and the location is amazing, the cats cuddly and the property, the best place for a relaxing day. In the weekends the beach out front is packed with tourists, but during the week you have the entire stretch all to yourself.

The location is good for a quiet rest in Montañita, you can easily walk to the city. The staff is kind and the place is beautiful. They have a bar at the beach and it is open until 21:00

On the beach. Away from the noise of town, but just a few minutes to the restaurants, pastry shops and ice cream. Good breakfast. Helpful staff. Safe swimming. Awesome sunsets.
