Meeting Carlos is like coming back to your birthplace and embracing your old friend. He's a great person with an enormous heart, strong life values and good sense of humor. This great man is a soul of this place, his wonderful dogs are its mood and warmth.
Nothing else matters, when you see his smile, his relationships with the dogs, listen to his stories about nature and see how his love for life leads him to great purposes.

The host Carlos is the nicest person ever. He gave us a lot of information about the area and activities around. Staying in Machalilla is a perfect option if you want to visit Playa de Los Frailes, Isla de la Plata or Agua Blanca etc. Rooms are really simple but staying there you also help the work Carlos does with the corals and the whole community.

Owner is friendly and he speaks english - so rare in Ecuador. His dogs are very friendly too, you can see the good owner. There was many dogs of other owners in the village, not so friendly at all.
Good location as a starting point everywhere in a beautifull Machallila reserve, but maybe to close to Spondilus route, which is now more road than route.
Bigger cars from Spondilus road very quite a noise. At least there was not a night music, like in Montanita.

We had a wonderful time in Guesthouse Machalilla! It's very close to beautiful Los Frailes beach and there is a lot of activities to do around the area. The owner, Carlos, was lovely, gave many useful and interesting tips and had the cutest rescued dogs. We really enjoyed spending time with him! Would recommend 100%!! Thank you so much

The host is an amazing guide. very helpful. very interesting and full of stories. A wonderful way to get a real “slice of life” of life in a fishing village. I loved my stay there.
Unfortunately we could hear the traffic … but was Carnval time which is a particularly busy time for traffic.

The host, Carlos was the best - he was friendly, full of great advice on local hikes and spoke fantastic English. He (and his lovely dogs) really made our stay in Machalilla enjoyable. The kitchen was well equipped and wi-fi strength great.
Nothing - it was close to Los Frailes, Agua Blanca and Los Ciriales.

everything. Juan Carlos was just a fantastic person and could have made the stay without the property. he was very informative and recommended some amazing trips. the rooms were clean and spacious and he has a great family of canines that welcome you with open paws.

Carlos was so generous and helpful! he just has a few basic and simple rooms at the places. the kitchen has everything I needed but was a bit dirty. the place is right above the highway, but during the night it was quiet and in the morning you’ll hear honking…not super early. the neighbors play loud music, but surprisingly it wasn’t loud in the bedroom. the fan was nice in the room. overall it was a very nice stay. thanks!

This was the right place to stay for experiencing the true Ecuadorian atmosphere. Carlos, our host, has helped us with everything - tips for things to see and do, where to shop, eat, watch the sunset etc. Highly recommended when traveling to the seaside.
