The staff at Casa del Sol were super friendly. The included breakfast was something different each morning. Yoga, surfing lessons all available from the hostel. Super laid back and friendly vibe.

Great location and in easy walking distance to bars and restaurants. Staff was super friendly and helpful especially Jackson and Andres . Free breakfast was absolutely delicious. Great energy, very social, big kitchen, quiet for a good night, comfortable beds. Also loved the yoga classes. Can’t fault this gorgeous hostel.

The facility- hotel setting was very well thought out, open air concept with many different spaces to function-hangout in. The staff is as good as it gets...the place is a well oiled machine!!! Great place, with the beach less than 50 meters away, plus the activities....there are too many to list.p

Horrible showers with little to no hot water or pressure and only top sheet given with no blankets and uncomfortable pillows

Great vibe, great location, great price, amazing staff, great breakfast and access to kitchen. Great yoga studio also.

All good.

Great hostel with nice breakfast, kind people, chill vibe and good rooms. They booked the Isla de la Plata Tour for us and we got to see an Albino whale!! We were so lucky! Thanks again, amaaaazing Tour and tour guide

My room smelled a bit like mold.

The staff was incredible, thank you to them! Refillable water stations and surf break just out front make life very comfortable.

Best Hostel in Montanita The location is ideal, Stones throw from the beach. All the staff are amazing Alejo, Andres, Jackson, Jaunito and Tamara the owner who is great. You feel welcome from the moment you arrive, Jackson Showed me straight around, gave me some good insights to the town, you immediately feel comfortable and before you know it a beer is in your hand, Alejo is playing a song, Andres is helping me with Spanish and discussing the surf points and Tamara is inviting you to Yoga. Every morning breakfast is served by Jaunito a great place to debrief from the night before. There is fantastic kitchen facilities, we utilised for group Asados and mexican pot luck. There is also a great chance to practise Spanish with lessons. I had lessons every day with Dario and my Spanish improved massively. Finally the hostel seems to attract great people all of whom like me seem to extend making a great energy to hang around after surfs.

Owner Tamara and manager Jackson are aware, compassionate, detailed, down-to-earth friendly, and very knowledgeable about so much. You are in unbelievably good hands with Casa del Sol leadership and staff. Never having been to Ecuador before, if you unexpectedly find yourselves in any situation new to you, dire or tame, they've got your back and solutions. It is comforting to know people like this have achieved a sense of heartfelt humanity while running such a business filled with positive vibes whether you are a yoga practitioner and / or surfer, or not. Staff is fantastic, you'll love the breakfasts, and it is apparent Casa del Sol attracts a quality of souls of all ages from across the globe, people with an effervescent glow of adventure and bright spirit and community, reflective of the same in Tamara and Jackson. An exceptional experience.

Loved the breakfast and the rooms. The staff is also great. Perfect location to a less busy beach but not too far from town.

The only negative, the occasional black out of power in all of La Punta, which isn't as common in the downtown of Montanita.

The daily breakfast was great, in a very relaxing environment! The rooms were kept clean by friendly staff. Arguably the best location in La Punta. It's a short walk across the street to the beach, with food options nearby. There's a family owned restaurant next-door where you can get a huge plate for $3.50 US. You can take Yoga classes here and receive surf lessons by awesome instructors! 100% coming back. Chef Juanito has been there since the beginning of Montanita growing as a city + Jackson, hotel Manager, was very helpful and an awesome dude.

That we couldn't stay longer!

Absolutely loved our stay here, Tamara and the whole team were just amazing. The room was comfortable and had daily housekeeping. The outdoor guest kitchen had everything we needed, perfect hang out spaces, and the overall vibe was unmatched, only a stones throw away from the gorgeous beach. Not forgetting the yummy, fresh breakfasts which change daily - the best breakfasts we have had in 3 months since travelling South America! We have never felt so at home in such a short amount of time!

Shower was a bit small and could use updating.

Beautiful property, great location, great vibe, quiet overnight for sleeping. The included breakfast was a proper, healthy meal to start the day. The best meals I had on my trip were the breakfasts at Casa Del Sol.

Close to the Beach nice relaxing place definitely will visit again

Everything worked well. Something to keep in mind is that there are lovely dogs and a lovely cat. They are part of the Casa family. I really enjoy petting them whenever I return to the hotel. While I understand this may not be for everyone, many guests consider it a plus. Me included.

Casa sits at the heart of La Punta, and it's easy to understand it is well known among travelers and locals. The location is perfect. Just 100 meters from the beach, you will find both the point break and beach break, making it very convenient for surfers. You can easily check the waves from the property and be in the water within minutes. At the same time, it is about 800 meters away from the town's center, so it is peaceful at night. The yoga classes stand out as the best in town, attracting not only guests but locals and visitors from other accommodations who specifically come to Casa for their great instructors. For digital nomads, Casa has created an ideal workspace environment. You'll find various spots throughout the property where remote workers sit together. The management has prioritized reliable internet connectivity by having all their three hotspots be from different providers. In the evenings, the reception area often turns into the local gathering spot, where guests and locals alike share drinks, creating an authentic community atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Many of the guests at Casa are returning guests. This was my third stay, and like many others who keep coming back, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The hostal is great. The only downside is that there is no AC there and it is 10-15 min walk from the center

Stayed in February 2025

Very cozy and friendly atmosphere! I also started doing Yoga in Tamara's classes and is has been fabulous thanks to her great and caring way of guiding through the session. Make sure to come by Casa del Sol if you are in Montañita, even if they don't have space and it's just for a beer!

Breakfast was included in our stay and was very delicious. The owner of Casa Del Sol was awesome!! the Staff were amazing. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for an awesome place to stay and do yoga as well as surfing (it's a 2 sec walk to the surf break) then this is the place to stay :) will 100% be staying, there again on our next trip to Montanita.

The staff are the stars of Casa Del Sol- always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We stayed there 5 nights and made use of several of the extra services offered like massage, laundry, breakfast. It was great to have those options, and the other workers who made sure the guest's experiences there were tranquil and enjoyable did not go unnoticed. I would definitely stay here again.
