This place is amazing!!! I am already setting up the next visit with them. Hotel owners and staff fulfilled every need and more. They have great food, nice bar, beautiful landscape. It's the place to stay and enjoy the ocean, which by the way, you can't get any closer to the water. I really can't think of anything else that... More

We came to Islas del Sol by walking along the beach after leaving another "cabaña" called El Acantilado (strongly not recommended) and stayed for 3 days in a beach-front cabin. The cabins themselves are great, small but with all the basics: hot water, air conditioning, TV, screens on windows. The location was perfect, right in front of the beach so... More

Eric (the english speaking owner) was fantastic !!! You had questions or wanted something, Eric was there for you. I don't think you could physically be any closer to the ocean. Very peacefull and relaxing location. It was also very nice to have air conditioning in your cabana. If you are in the area, it is worth checking it out. More

You can't get any closer to the beach than this. Simple, quiet, and clean. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and addressed every question and request. Also enjoyed their A/C and plenty of hot water plus an English speaking staff. If you are looking for fancy, this is not it. But we found it very comfortable... More

This was my first experience on the beach in Ecuador. Having a cabin on the beach, hearing pounding waves and enjoying the sea breeze was fantastic. The property is a great place to go to relax and enjoy a quite beach. It's not fancy but it's clean and the staff is fantanstic. You can have your meals on the veranda... More

This slice of paradise is located just close enough to civilization to be convenient and just far enough away to be romantic. The cabins are comfortable and very little gets better than falling asleep to the waves and breeze just feet away. More

The place is a series of cabanas of varying sizes, some immediately on the beach and others a little set back. the entire place is laid-back, as beach cabanas would be. They are clean and comfortable. We had 2 cabanas, one right on the beach with A/C with 2 beds. The other was more like a camp cabin with 2... More

If you need to get away from your job in Quito Cabañas Isla del Sol is perhaps the best place to go considering distance, quality and price. I personally prefer Manabí's beaches like Los Frailes, Puerto Lopez, or Puerto Cayo, but if you only have the weekend to get away then Esmeraldas offers the closest beaches to Quito. Having many...

The manager and owner is Eric, and he speaks english. which is very helpful for someone who has limited high school spanish. The building we stayed in was #201, it had airconditioning and a refrigerator. You could... More

We travel to Ecuador - once a year an this is a MUST STOP / STAY in Same near Atacames. Simply the best service and facilities, all in front of the beach. Ideal place for a good relaxing holiday not to mention the friendly people and the fresh food. What else can we ask for? Look forward to staying with... More
