We stayed at Happy Hill for two nights before moving to a beachfront location that was half the price. The staff here was great, super friendly and helpful. And the breakfast was also very good, much more food than you can typically expect when breakfast is included at hotels in Ecuador. But while the views of the ocean are great,... More

We stayed at Happy Hill for 6 nights in January, and really enjoyed our stay. Our room was roomy and airconditioned. Though not a 5 star resort( no tv or place to hang your clothes), the location in the hills overlooking the ocean was breathtaking and peaceful. The pool was lovely and the food very good. We also cannot say... More

Yes, the views of the ocean in the distance are pleasant enough, but this shambling wreck of a place (located not in Montanita but nine kilometers away in San Jose) has seen much better days. Most of it is closed off, and the few remaining rooms are falling to pieces; in my room, the sink leaked so badly that a... More

Positives- very nice food, with amazing views, ALL the staff are friendly. Rooms clean and safe. Beautiful surroundings, even horses. 5 mins by cab from montanita, nice pool. Negative- the owner of the complex had me pay in advanced a big deposit for the special room, he sent me pictures, i opted for that room, and confirmed. On arrival the... More
