Punta La Barca - Manta

I stayed two weeks and liked it very much. the shower is very warm. the lookout is amazing, they can really see the wales there. I even had luck seeing some dolphins. even if it was in august (cloud season) I had about 4 to 5 sunny days per week. I can recommend it and would come back.

This place is probably one of the best for whale watching. the hostal is well maintained and the owners are super welcoming. a must.

Fantastic place to relax, get some work done and just enjoy the simple things. Great setup for digital nomad types with 2 very nice work areas and good internet. Awesome beach for kitesurfing too.

An amazing place to stay in Santa Marianita! Stunning view, beautiful beach, great vibe, great kitchen, clean and warm shower... Amazing place to work. Totally recommend for people who want a break in a small remote village

This is a wonderful place. Friendly people, simple living, surrounded by nature, a quiet beach. It is not very touristy and feels authentic. It is a great place to work from because it has co-working spaces and fast wifi. I would visit again and recommend to anyone who is looking to get away and spend time in a peaceful place. I’m really grateful I got to stay here. Its nice to see that places like Punta La Barca exist in the world.
