If you want to stay right at the beach this is not the place for you. Not very social, but off season and only two other guests there.

Spondylus lodge was one of my best accommodations in South America so far! I had a private room; good price, very spacey with own balcony. Comfortable bed and good AC! Free coffee in the morning and filtered water. 5 min walk to the beach. Big common areas and a good common kitchen. The place was very very clean. Staff was nice and helpful! Very quite and tranquil. would def recommend!

$151 is a lot considering it was NOT in front of the beach and Didn't include breakfast. In Guayaquil You pay that amount at a room at the Hilton Colon .

Mariscal was very warm and friendly. The girls were nice too.

The staff were very welcoming and friendly always ready to help. We felt like we were at home. The location was great near the food court and a short walk to downtown and the beach. Very relaxed and nice guests as well.

Often times no one was sitting at reception and I had to hunt people down if I needed help.

Spondylus Lodge was just beautiful. It was tucked in the jungle and a 5 minute walk from the beach. My bed was a cool loft bed and the mattress was so comfy.

Lovely place! The rooms are spacious and comfy, the staff are really very lovely and friendly, and the location is perfect. I stayed during the low season so I was the only guest, but I can imagine that when the sun is shining it has a great atmosphere too!

Our stay at the property was not the best, mainly due to the service experience. When you’re on vacation, you hope to feel welcomed with a positive and helpful attitude from the staff — but unfortunately, that wasn’t our experience. The team seemed upset or annoyed every time we asked a question, which made interactions feel uncomfortable rather than friendly. Upon arrival, instead of receiving a warm welcome or useful instructions about the property, we were immediately reminded of the check-out time and told that we should ask for anything we needed before 8:45 PM bc she leaves at 9 — which set the tone for the rest of the stay. Additionally, there were several discrepancies between what was stated on Booking.com and what actually happened. For example, after booking, we were informed there was an extra charge for pets, which I don’t recall being clearly mentioned. Also, although Booking indicated that credit cards were accepted, I was told I had to transfer 100% of the payment in advance via bank transfer to confirm the reservation within the next 2 hours if not the reservation would be cancelled. This is very different from the “no prepayment needed” option shown on the website, and it felt misleading. The property itself is nice. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but it was acceptable. However, the staff’s attitude really affected the overall experience. It didn’t feel like we were on vacation — it felt more like we were bothering someone by being there. I believe there’s room for improvement in terms of transparency on the booking platform and, more importantly, in staff training to create a more welcoming and guest-focused atmosphere.

It carefully designed with nature & had beautiful social area.
