Nice stay, would come back, needs beter management

The hotel is easy to find. It is the northernmost hotel on the beach in Montanita. The men in the reseption just spoak a tiny bit of English. One of the first things they did, was to charge me with some tax. As a foreign tourist i dont have to pay that tax. When i asked what the tax was for, the reseptionist didnt speak a word of english...We didnt pay the tax. I would have expected that at least one persone at a Wyndham hotel spoke English. Actualy we didnt find one Equadorian in the hole of Montanita that i could have a conversation with, in English. Our stay was from Sunday to Tuesday and there where very few guests the last night. We where upgraded from a room at the back side to one at the front. It was 12meters from our bed to the wonderfull pool, and around 50 meters to the beach at high tide. The waves are biggest just outside the hotel, and there are som rocks that you dont see at high tide, but if you want to go swiming or are a beginner at surfing, go 100-200 meter south and the beach is safer. It is a 6-700meter nice walk on the beach to "downtown" Montanita, but always some thing interesting to look at, at the beach. The bar served us som realy good coctails, that was much better than the ones "in town" The brakfast was Ok, almost as good as on more expensive hotels. We where the only foreign guests and are not to used to equadorian food, but we found what we wanted. As i see it, it is the only real resort in Montanita, and i would stay there again

La propiedad está en una buena zona y frente al mar. La mayoría del personal poco capaz, falta alguien que esté pendiente de los detalles. En su sección privada de playa había gente con un parlante gigante, con música salsa a todo volumen, se los dijimos a los del hotel y NADIE hizo nada. Increíble eso dentro de un hotel así. Luego queríamos comida a la playa y la respuesta era: en esta barra hay solo cocteles. Había que caminar lejos para buscar la comida. Cero criterio para hacer sentir bien al huésped. Los desayunos sí eran muy buenos.
