delicious breakfast

charming pool area

misleading photos

lackluster initial impression

Let me tell you about the breakfast buffet. It was a feast of flavors! Fresh local dishes to kickstart the day really set the tone for my culinary adventure. Plus, the pool area? Absolutely dreamy, perfect for lounging around after exploring the local eateries-David's Hamburgers just a stroll away!

Now, I'll be real-when I switched hotels, the online photos didn't quite capture the true vibe here.

breakfast spread

It was just an optimal selection for a brief visit in Manta with fantastic value for money. I really enjoyed the amazing breakfast spread with fresh ceviche and local rice that kicked off my day perfectly. Try to ask about local taxi services to help you get around.

Had an amazing stay! The breakfast options were so delicious and filling. Enjoying time by the lovely pool was a perfect way to relax. The only downside was the bottled water quality.
