I was so happy to get a recommendation for Santa Marianita nr Manta, whilst the rest of Ecuador was under grey cloud. It has its own little sunny micro-climate plus has this little gorgeous gem of a hostel.
Oswaldo, the owner, is the most accommodating host and has made the hostel, with its bamboo structures, swimming pool, hot tub, pool table and hammock deck, the most delightful and relaxing place to stay.
Rooms are clean, spacious and the showers are with decent hot water.
Eating in-house is a must as cheap and delicious. Oswaldo is a fine cook and cooks the meal of the day different every night.
The beach is only 2 mins walk but being the Ecuadorian mecca for kite-surfing it can be a little windy, which is why a dip in the Soga pool to cool off does the trick.
With a free beer on arrival, an upgrade to the balcony and a marvellous host who speaks great English, this was the best place to land after arriving in Guayaquil 2 days previous.
Highly recommended.

The beach was very nice and safe. Staff were very helpful.
Es un lugar muy bonito. Estuvimos poco tiempo. Hubo mucho ruido en la noche para descansar pero seguramente se pudo haber ofreció habitaciones que hay más alejadas.
Soga Hostal is about a 1 minute walk from a beautiful beach. The breakfast was great and the dinner we had was excellent. Warm welcome, beautiful common areas including a digital nomad space, a guest "bar" that seemed to open early and close late, quiet location, good security, and basic rooms.
I traveled all over Ecuador and stayed in six different hotels. By far, Soga Hostal was the best! My room had a spectacular ocean view, it was clean and had hot water, which some other hotels didn't have, The staff is friendly and helpful, and the manager speaks fluent English, which was very helpful for me. The food was great, too!
