Cristina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel has a lot going for it. Once inside you wouldn’t even know the city of Manta was just outside. The Bungalow area with pool is easy on the eyes and the room inside and out was very comfortable and welcoming. Next visit to Manta we will plan a longer stay for sure. For beach or shopping and local eateries it is a very convenient location. To top it all the staff were very friendly and went the extra mile to help make our stay perfect.
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a double bed room with a view to the beach. We loved our stay there. The staff was amazing. The food was so delicious. The breakfast buffet included with the stay had so much variety and if you didn’t find something all you needed to do is ask and if they could they would accommodate your request. We really enjoyed our stay at Balandra and we will continue to stay in Balandra when we visit Manta.

Nice enough hotel. Well located. Did not honor any of my Expedia gold perks (no upgrade and no free drinks).
Brandon, 1-night trip

The staff was excellent. Daily helped us in upgrading our room and also assisted in booking transportation to our next destination. Having friendly after hours security is comforting. There was some construction going on next to the pool but that will only make it better in the future.

Go Balandra!!! Stay forever
Stay was amazing clean rooms and common areas. Hotel is within walking distance of anything you need, beach, mall, clubs etc. Visit coincided with with Manta 100yr celebration. Hotel staff was extremely helpful with local customs and places to visit. I would stay at the Balandra again without hesitation. I would suggest they upgrade the gym, although the beach within 2min walk has workout stations.
Bradley, 3-night trip

I was so pleased with this hotel from the moment i stepped in. Every staff member were pleasant and greeted me when I passed. The breakfast that was included was buffet style and everything was delicious. We had dinner at El Faro and everything was amazing. Asked for an iron and it came to us quickly. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. You wont be disappointed! Thank you Balandra Hotel
