Ecuador Hostels

I am from New York, and I loved Montanita. Beautiful beach and a great nightlife. I am planning to go back there very soon.

I walked into Montanita and felt like I had stumbled upon paradise - the most beautiful people you've ever seen, amazing vegetarian food, hammocks everywhere, cheap hostels run by easygoing locals - I fell in love and didn't want to leave.

Montanita is the greatest! I have been there 3 times and I am addicted to the town! It's great how you chill and relax there, and talk about the bonfires!! Man I love them! You swear you want to stay a couple of days. Sorry! You cannot! You wind up staying a week or more! This is the destination to party! Orishas, Manu Chau, and Marley were the music of the times. Viva Montanita!!!!

Montanita is a surfer's dream, its one of the best spots esp at this time of the year. The nightlife is incredible, its like one huge neverending party. Also the weed, *damn* mmmm I love it here. Surf Montanita always and forever!

Montanita is fantastic -- laid back, easygoing, and very friendly. I enjoyed my four weeks. Sure, there may be some drugs, but is not in your face. In fact, Montanita has a really safe feel about it. I studied at the Montanita Spanish school, and it was excellent. I'll be back!

What a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Guayaquil where I was going to school. If I didnt have so many obligations at home I would still be beach side learning how to surf and meeting amazing people from all walks of life. Ah Montanita.

So much fun, the place is such a pleasure trap! You get there and you immediately feel the vibe I could stay here awhile. I went back 3 times while traveling through South America. Have to get some waves at the point and come in and get a fresh fruit smoothie at Hostal Tierra del Promitida. Te extrano Montanita!!!

Montanita is the pits -- it's full of drugged-up, cocaine hippies offering it for as little as $5. The girls are throwing themselves at the tourists. It's a dodgy place -- my iPod was stolen from my locked hotel room. Avoid this place.

Montanita has the best vibe ever. You must go there -- if you don't, you don't know what you're missing.

Baños … We found that Banos was the high spot on our vist to Ecuador.

Montanita is an awesome place with friendly people. This is a little piece of heaven hidden away. The hotels are small but with a charm that will make you wish you could stay there forever. I'm currently stuck in Japan but hoping to make it back again this December.
