“In Montanita, this beachfront hotel distinguishes itself with a private beach, a tranquil environment, and an exceptional detail: tickets to Lost Beach Club are sometimes included. I was impressed by the well-appointed gym-better than many I've seen stateside-and the consistently praised food. The combination of relaxation, recreation, and attentive service makes it a compelling choice.”
