Everything was very clean. The staff members were helpful and very kind. The room was so nice and the layout of the hotel was very convenient and relaxing.
It is our 5th time to book this hotel, we always bring family from Guayaquil to stay here and never disappointed us as always everything was good, the room was very clean, the personal was very attentive and helpful, the hotel overall was clean, the breakfast was very good and it had more than one option,
Thank you, we will come back soon
The resort is in a great location. Quiet and comfortable. Just a few minutes to the town for a bit more excitement. The service is exceptional in every respect.
We had a great time on the beach in Montanita staying at the Kundalini. The grounds were lovely. We especially liked the private shady beach area, where you could order drinks from the bar and where your stuff would be safe while you played in the surf. The breakfasts were nice. The shower was hot. The AC worked. The bed was comfortable. Housekeeping was excellent. Free coffee in the lobby before the restaurant opened for breakfast. We loved sleeping with the door to the balcony open and hearing the surf all night.
There is an (I guess) nicer hotel on the beach a bit closer to the town, but I would not want to stay there because there is a club in town that pounds music very loudly all night and into the next day, and I am sure it can be a problem for some people trying to sleep or enjoy the sound of the ocean. Kundalini is just far enough away to not hear the pounding. And it's not like Kundalini is not nice. It is very nice. And still close to town, a short walk down the beach.
Two small quibbles: There is no dresser drawers or closet, any least in the junior suite, so one has to live out of one's suitcase, which is not my favorite thing, though there is a counter for the suitcases. And, there were some straws and lime slices from someone's drinks the day before on the ground near our lounges in the private beach area on our first day there, which was not so pleasant to have to walk through and see. But otherwise the grounds were immaculate.
Convenient to the beach and shopping. Thereās a TIA practically right across the street. With the exception of loud, drunken guests rolling in late it was really nice place to stay.
Very nice place right on the beach. Staff was very friendly. I liked being a couple of blocks away from the party area. It was close enough to walk to but when you returned to the hotel it was quiet. There was also a grocery store a block away. In my book it really is a great location.
Wife and I stayed her with our two teenage daughters we stayed in one room but the room had dividers which was nice privacy.
Staff was great we would love to go back one day
Very relaxing and quiet place just outside of downtown but far enough from the craziness and a quick walk when you want to go downtown. Having the restaurant on property is very convenient.
Right on the beach, free yoga once a week, breakfast is included (and delicious) and the hotel is generally quiet (though one night these awful French tourists were drunk and making a racket and security never came to shut them up, which was surprising and a little disappointing). But overall the stay was great!
