night crew at the bar were friendly and accommodating. the only good thing about the bathroom was a good quality brand shampoo and gel soap for shower.

The breakfast was excellent, the pool was amazing, and the shower was great. Also, the patio is great. The ocean view isn't that great, but you're so close to the ocean, you can just walk there.

Great property at a very affordable price. It feels like a little tropical island. Exceptional service; the staff is kind, humble, and very quick to address any concerns. I wish I could have stayed more days, just to enjoy the pool, hammocks, the beautiful tub surrounded by plants, and the peaceful ambiance. 10 out of 10!!! Highly recommend it better than any property with front beach access. There is no need with this little hidden gem!!!!

The location was nice with good beach front, away from all the bars and clubs up the beach. Private parking on the premises. Near to good restaurants and had several cozy seating areas around the property. Staff was friendly and tried to be accommodating. Quick check-in, very organized.

Would 10 out of 10 recommend Tuzco! Every staff person we met was so friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The first night we discovered a minor issue with our shower. We let the owner know in the morning as we were heading out to walk around town. By the time we got back, less than two hours later, the issue had been fixed and our room cleaned! We weren’t even expecting housekeeping services. The pool was amazing and we felt so safe tucked away back there! Juan and his entire staff are great!

PL is a very pleasant fishing village in EC on the Pacific ocean. The beach is fabulous and there are many good places to eat. We recommend eating at Ancora. The owners and staff are great. The chef is from Barcelona and makes some original Spanish dishes.
One bit of advice for all these beach villages is eat early to avoid the loud music that fires up as the evening progresses. For some reason they think this extremely loud music is what everyone wants to hear.

There were lots of things to do outside the beach: whale watching, scuba, seeing the monkeys in the Sendero Bola del Oro, bird watching in Ayampe Reserve. In the community el Pital we used Carlos Manrique and it was a great guide - 0982767109 or on Facebook at sendero bola de oro. We went with the Rosita whale watching and they really tried to make sure you got your money's worth of whales, seals, and boobies! It is fun to get up in the morning and watch the fishing boats come back in with the birds fighting the fishermen for their haul! There were so good restaurants depending on your taste - the Hotel Victor Hugo had lots of variety and good desserts; the Il Capuccino pizzería Ristorante had good options and a friendly staff.

Like most travellers in summer we went to Puerto Lopez for Isla de Plata and the whale watching. It's definitely worth a visit as Isla de Plata, the turtles and humpback whales were magnificent.
Unfortunately in summer you only have a few real sunny days. We had one (when we visited Isla de Plata) but the other days were overcasted with sometimes a fine drizzle. Therefore we did not went to visit/see Parque National Machalilla which should be worth a visit as well.

Small beach town with much to do if you are into wildlife exploration.
Even though accommodation options are limited and fairly pricey (I recommend Casita Madame for the best value-for-money), we have stayed in and around Puerto Lopez for over a week, exploring the beaches, Isla de Plata, nearby villages… we go on tours, snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking— no reason to get bored!
Restaurants are a bit tricky so we switched to accommodation with kitchen pretty soon, but do try Aloha Cafe, Cappuccino (the Italian) or the Colombian place (around the corner from Cappuccino but I forget the exact name).

Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights.
Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights. Don't forget to visit Pacha Chocolates and coffee on the E15 north of town. The owners are there and will give a tour if you have 4 people. The day trip to Isle La Plata is a great trip for $45 each but be prepared to walk and climb.

The problem was that it was supposed to be sunny but it was just pouring rain the whole time. The town is mud bath in bad weather, only marginally set up for this kind of thing. It still represents a much better choice in terms of its range of services compared to the neighboring towns.
It's a beautiful place, the cabanas are cute and comfy. The place is very near downtown, with great access to restaurants and stores. The beach is right across the street. Still, it's a nice quiet place, but if you want action it's not too far away. The staff helped me book a tour to Isla de la Plata, which was absolutely fantastic, whales, sea turtles, sea birds, and beautiful Ocean views. Also the fro t of the hotel faces west, so you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
Julio and his father were some of the kindest people I've met on my trip around Ecuador. I arrived to the lodge quite ill and Dr Salazar nursed me back to health and they did everything they could to make me comfortable so I could heal. I wish I could give an even higher rating!
The hotel itself is very clean and affordable and even includes breakfast. The pool was very nice as well.
10/10 recommend Tuzco Lodge!
Amazing location across from the beach in a quieter part of town, but a very easy walk or short tuk tuk ride to the bars and restaurants in town. The staff was top notch, rooms were comfortable and well maintained w AC and the food was great. Couldn't recommend any higher. Best place to stay in Puerto Lopez by far and the staff couldn't be any friendlier or more hospitable
Heidi is really nice person, she organized a trip for us to Isla Plata, Puerto Lopez is great place for enjoying fishes market (Heidi taught us how to prepare shrimps), nice terrace with kitchen and wiew, clean room, cold shower but it is not problem in hot weather, also take some ears plugs for sleeping because of the cock (they are everywhere in Ecuador) :))
Great hotel located a 3 minute walk to the center of everything. It was great to be close to everything but not right in the middle of all the super loud music. Beds are super comfortable, the wifi worked great (which was a pleasant surprise) and the breakfasts are delicious. The shower also had BOTH hot water and pressure.
what a great place! we stayed in a dome and it was very comfortable. the air conditioning was amazing, and our place was in a great location right across from the beach. it was affordable and the pool was an excellent touch. staff was very helpful. one of my favorite places that I’ve stayed in Ecuador!
The family was nice and always helped by questions. They gave us the room cheaper cause I made a mistake via booking a family room for 4 people.
Free water for drinking and hor water in the shower. Close to the beach and short distance to the main beach street.
We all slept fine but in the beds.
The hosteria is very well located, right in front of the ocean, 40m away from the water. It’s 10 minute walking distance from the center of Puerto Lopez. The bungalows are spacious and with cosy hammocks and creatively decorated with natural materials, surrounded by splendid vegetation.
We booked online and when we arrived, the hotel was locked up with chains at the gate, not a soul was there. We waited for 3 hours and finally decided to book somewhere else. I hope the owners are fine, but seriously not impressed. Close you online bookings if you leave...
The property was clean and well kept. Right across the street from the beach. It was a short walk to the center of Puerto Lopez. The staff were amazing. Always available to help. I had several changes to my travel plans and they accommodated me with a smile.
It was convenient to have the restaurant in the hotel for meals, drinks, and snacks. While the hotel is on the far end of the beach, I appreciated that it was quiet yet still only a short walk from the beach restaurants and active nightlife.
Heidi's place is in a fantastic location, right across the fish market on the malecon and super close to everything you would need in Puerto Lopez. Heidi was great and super welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here!
location is great—very quiet end of malecón—and beautiful. good shower and AC. I could happily live on the terrace for the rest of my life. clearly, they have put some money well-spent into this hotel!
The room, kitchen, pool are clean. it's near to the Pto. López malecon, we took a bus to move the hotel from the malecon in 15 min (aprox.) And we paid $0,75 per person.
