Mantahost Hotel
The Ecuadorean people are amazing - salt of the earth. Driving there you don’t need a rental - All taxis are 2 dollars driving around. Excellent and convenient to 3 Storey mall and super restaurants around. No beach sales people. Calm feeling around. Lots of fresh fruit no GMO. You.ll love it?
