So quiet with just the ocean waves. No pesky beach vendors. Within walking distance to beach restaurants and small markets. Very friendly staff. Good A/C, hot water and parking. Some of the booking engines are showing the wrong location on their maps. It's South of Esmeraldas proper by about 20 miles. Some of the maps even show it on a... More

I stayed at this hotel with my wife in our honeymoon. When we arrived we were greeted by one of two housekeepers that couldn't give much information about the surroundings. The place was really nice anyhow, small cabanas right on the beach. Unfortunately nor the owner nor any manager arrived during our 3 nights at the place. The housekeepers did... More

Location couldn't be better, right in front of the beach. High tide the waves are maybe 30 feet from the front door. The place is perfect for a beach getaway. Simple, quaint, yet clean. A/C, hot water, en suite bathroom. What else could you possibly ask for. Food was a bit disappointing, there were only two things on the menu,... More

Islas (as the family calls it) is clearly our favorite place to vacation in Ecuador. It's right on the beach, clean, safe, small, quiet, a bit rustic, excellent service/hospitality, a great value and so relaxing. You've got to try it!

This place is amazing!!! I am already setting up the next visit with them. Hotel owners and staff fulfilled every need and more. They have great food, nice bar, beautiful landscape. It's the place to stay and enjoy the ocean, which by the way, you can't get any closer to the water. I really can't think of anything else that... More

We came to Islas del Sol by walking along the beach after leaving another "cabaña" called El Acantilado (strongly not recommended) and stayed for 3 days in a beach-front cabin. The cabins themselves are great, small but with all the basics: hot water, air conditioning, TV, screens on windows. The location was perfect, right in front of the beach so... More

Eric (the english speaking owner) was fantastic !!! You had questions or wanted something, Eric was there for you. I don't think you could physically be any closer to the ocean. Very peacefull and relaxing location. It was also very nice to have air conditioning in your cabana. If you are in the area, it is worth checking it out.

You can't get any closer to the beach than this. Simple, quiet, and clean. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and addressed every question and request. Also enjoyed their A/C and plenty of hot water plus an English speaking staff. If you are looking for fancy, this is not it. But we found it very comfortable... More

This was my first experience on the beach in Ecuador. Having a cabin on the beach, hearing pounding waves and enjoying the sea breeze was fantastic. The property is a great place to go to relax and enjoy a quite beach. It's not fancy but it's clean and the staff is fantanstic. You can have your meals on the veranda... More
