Great place in Ayampe

The location is great with a short walk to the beach. Everything was clean and comfortable. The entire staff was attentive and caring. We had a wonderful time here.

Johanna and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and friendly, they did everything they could to ensure you have a comfortable stay. The included breakfast was very very good - guests are given a menu to choose from each morning. Rooms are clean and tidy. The gardens and surrounds give the place a really relaxed vibe and make it a great place to work remotely from. WIFI is good, showers are hot, 3 minute walk to the beach. Overall great value for money. Not much more you could ask for.

A very relaxing stay at beautiful La Buena Vida Hotel

This is the best hotel location I could have hoped for when choosing accommodations that were not beachfront. La Buena Vida is tucked away a bit so that you feel you have some privacy here. Ayampe is not a vast town so getting to the main roads and the beach was just a lovely stroll a few blocks away. The staff at La Buena Vida is INCREDIBLE. I loved each person I interacted with. Maria is so kind and generous, Johanna is incredibly helpful and accommodating in a graceful way. I am grateful for Kate who was so welcoming, helpful, and friendly; as well as Jay who was also very friendly. There are also two resident cats who I loved having around. The room was very comfortable and the perfect size for me (could also be perfect for a couple). The fan and AC were a godsend with the heat and humid environment. WiFi worked great while I was there, I had a lot of work and schooling to get done so I appreciated this as well. Ayampe is a very laid-back town with friendly people and super yummy foods, I highly recommend visiting and having a stay at La Buena Vida. Bonus: opportunities for yoga classes just up the road, surf lessons available, amazing pastries and fresh coconuts just up the street on the way to the beach <3

relaxing, laid back, locals here are great.

the Manager was fantastic. she was very helpful with local advice. the breakfast was great. the gardens were great. it was a fantastic stay and Ayampe was excellent too. communication from the manager is excellent if any issue or question at all

the added 4% paying through a payment agency which was not listed on the advert. the option to pay cash should therefore be available or the deposit be less. or at least stated in the terms and not requested after booking. a bit naughty out of principle rather than cost as it is understandable.

Superb

Johanna the manager was amazing and so helpful. She gave us great tips for the area and also how to get from the airport easily. Everyone was very helpful and the place was clean. The breakfast was delicious and the King Kong smoothie was yuuuummmy. I also liked that they have you both bath and beach towels.

Great stay in Ayampe

Lovely spacious room well decorated and clean.. The hotel paid attention to little details. The place was relatively busy but quiet at the same time. Kevin and Mireille will take a good care of you when needed as stay discret the rest of the time. The breakfast is great, perfect to start an active day. They are very accommodating if you have to leave early for diving or else

We can hear street noise on the deck as we are near the main road. From the room with the air condition on we can't hear anything.

Lovely Accommodations with amazing staff and great food!

We loved the friendly staff, delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, comfortable bed, hot water with excellent pressure! Excellent communication, lovely flowers and plants on the property. I really LOVED my stay!

I hate to write anything bad because this was more my fault for not researching but the back part of hotel is very close to the highway and some trucks pass by and it is very loud. Earplugs solved the problem and I would go back to La Buena vida!

I want to move to La Buena Vida 😭😭😭

Cleanliness. Breakfast! The atmosphere overall makes you want to move there.

Everything about the property was delightful. The only issue with our stay was that some people do not seem to understand that Ayampe is a place to relax and enjoy. It is not Montañita!

Good

Reslly nice and cozy place. You actually get hot water and a great atmosphere there.

Its common practice in Ecuador that they dont accept your creditcard payment without adding another 4%. I dont like this practice but happens a lot. Here as well.

Beautiful little oasis tucked on the side of a hill

Wish it had a view of the ocean, but it was delightful to listen to the waves at night. The staff was friendly as well as the kitties!
