The Penthouse in La Punta

DominoRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The penthouse is even more incredible than the photos show - it’s so beautiful, modern and well furnished with all of the little touches that make it feel homey. We’ve been able to cook in the fully equipped kitchen, and we have panoramic views of the beach and the surf break at La Punta. Also to mention that the linen is high quality, and the mattresses are the comfiest I’ve slept on so far in 5 weeks in Ecuador. Thank you for hosting us Gracie!

MiniSuite2 with kitchen and private bathroom facing the sea

ArianaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The experience was great from start to finish. The place was spotless: kitchen, bathroom and bedroom in perfect condition, everything was very clean and well cared for. Javi was a very attentive host, he helped us with check-in, sent us all the necessary directions to get there without problems, and also shared super useful recommendations for safe taxis and delivery options. You can tell that he cares about the well-being of his guests. Totally recommended!
