We were nicely welcomed to the hotel. There is a parking in the inside court. The location is superb, one can walk to the beach or try the many restaurants around. Breakfast was not included but was not expensive. We ordered a cooked breakfast which was served rapidly from the kitchen.
The bed was comfortable and we had a nice balcony from which we were able to observe a brilliant sunset. There is a lovely bar located directly facing the beach. I would stay there again.

The place is nice and well located. We arrived at around 2.30pm and checked in immediately. The beach is not far from the property, at walking distance. It was safe during the day and night. The staff was informative and didn't intervene at all during our stay, so we could enjoy a nice private stay.

We booked online and when we arrived, the hotel was locked up with chains at the gate, not a soul was there. We waited for 3 hours and finally decided to book somewhere else. I hope the owners are fine, but seriously not impressed. Close you online bookings if you leave...

The location on the beach next to a quick and powerful beach break is awesome. The volunteers that stay there were a constant highlight. The amenities and pool were very good.

PL is a very pleasant fishing village in EC on the Pacific ocean. The beach is fabulous and there are many good places to eat. We recommend eating at Ancora. The owners and staff are great. The chef is from Barcelona and makes some original Spanish dishes.
One bit of advice for all these beach villages is eat early to avoid the loud music that fires up as the evening progresses. For some reason they think this extremely loud music is what everyone wants to hear.

There were lots of things to do outside the beach: whale watching, scuba, seeing the monkeys in the Sendero Bola del Oro, bird watching in Ayampe Reserve. In the community el Pital we used Carlos Manrique and it was a great guide - 0982767109 or on Facebook at sendero bola de oro. We went with the Rosita whale watching and they really tried to make sure you got your money's worth of whales, seals, and boobies! It is fun to get up in the morning and watch the fishing boats come back in with the birds fighting the fishermen for their haul! There were so good restaurants depending on your taste - the Hotel Victor Hugo had lots of variety and good desserts; the Il Capuccino pizzería Ristorante had good options and a friendly staff.

Like most travellers in summer we went to Puerto Lopez for Isla de Plata and the whale watching. It's definitely worth a visit as Isla de Plata, the turtles and humpback whales were magnificent.
Unfortunately in summer you only have a few real sunny days. We had one (when we visited Isla de Plata) but the other days were overcasted with sometimes a fine drizzle. Therefore we did not went to visit/see Parque National Machalilla which should be worth a visit as well.

Small beach town with much to do if you are into wildlife exploration.
Even though accommodation options are limited and fairly pricey (I recommend Casita Madame for the best value-for-money), we have stayed in and around Puerto Lopez for over a week, exploring the beaches, Isla de Plata, nearby villages… we go on tours, snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking— no reason to get bored!
Restaurants are a bit tricky so we switched to accommodation with kitchen pretty soon, but do try Aloha Cafe, Cappuccino (the Italian) or the Colombian place (around the corner from Cappuccino but I forget the exact name).

Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights.
Puerto Lopez is a great spot to spend a few days and nights. Don't forget to visit Pacha Chocolates and coffee on the E15 north of town. The owners are there and will give a tour if you have 4 people. The day trip to Isle La Plata is a great trip for $45 each but be prepared to walk and climb.

The problem was that it was supposed to be sunny but it was just pouring rain the whole time. The town is mud bath in bad weather, only marginally set up for this kind of thing. It still represents a much better choice in terms of its range of services compared to the neighboring towns.
What a gem, yes its boutique! Really nice rooms, excellent bed, good shower, clean, Netflix on TV ;-). Very welcoming hosts, lots of tips on where to go and what to see. Breakfast was the best I had off all my travel in Equador and different every day. From yoghurt with lots of fruits to French Toast or an omelette, all prepared with care. Also when they open the windows and huge doors on the front of the hotel you feel like you are sitting right on the boulevard with views of the beach.
The property was a botanical garden located on the nicest part of puerto lopez beach( away from all the noise of the city center). I was rather suprised to find such high value at such a low price. My favorite part was the amazing food and people i met at my stay here and the spectacular cleanliness of the room that was prepared. The hosts were also a wealth of information about the local area and i cant wait to return to this special spot! Thank you so much!
what a great place! we stayed in a dome and it was very comfortable. the air conditioning was amazing, and our place was in a great location right across from the beach. it was affordable and the pool was an excellent touch. staff was very helpful. one of my favorite places that I’ve stayed in Ecuador!
The beach front in front of the hotel, breakfast, and room definitively went beyond my expectations and was very pleased. There wasn’t any hotel that matched yours on the service, great location, and staff. Keep up the great work and I look forward to coming back again- hopefully sooner than expected.
I mean where do I even start! the view and location is just perfect! It is a great place for relaxing or romantic getaway. Shandra is an amazing host! She pretty much pampered us! Can’t recommend House of Gates enough. It is my new favorite place in Puerto Lopez
Superfriendly, the whole hotel is built with love to the detail, clean and cozy bungalows, perfect location (close to the beach and village center, but far enough away from the loud and annoying beach bars)...really by far the best place to stay in Puerto Lopez
It was convenient to have the restaurant in the hotel for meals, drinks, and snacks. While the hotel is on the far end of the beach, I appreciated that it was quiet yet still only a short walk from the beach restaurants and active nightlife.
My experience at Nativa Whale Domes in Puerto Lopez was, unfortunately, the most challenging night of my trip. Despite the potential for a pleasant stay, there's a significant drawback that overshadowed everything else.
Excellent location and welcoming and accommodating staff. Wonderful breakfast spread including eggs, cheese, ham, brewed coffee, bread rolls, smoothie, fruit. Best pizza since I’ve been in Ecuador. Clean pool and rooms.
Located well away from the business of the Puerto Lopez boulevard, this guesthouse is a little oasis of peace. The rooms and outside area are beautiful and inviting to relax in.
This is Ecuador and I did not expect more than what was delivered. The staff was helpful and tried their best to meet our requirements. The place was clean which is important.
