Hotel berhampiran MOVISTAR NEGOCIOS, Manta

Maria José Ruiz is the best host one can find. I have had the opportunity to travel to some cities around the world, and I have never come across someone as kind, open, gentle, generous, friendly, empathetic, and dedicated to their work as Maria José. The hotel is very lovely, the facilities are comfortable, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly and always willing to help and make the stay the best it can be. And everything, absolutely everything, is better with the care that Maria José puts into every detail of the stay.

Thank you Mantahost!! You rescued my disaster of a beach vacation. I had made a reservation at another hotel and the conditions were so horrible I had to go somewhere else. The hotel is beautiful and the staff all treated me like a VIP. I had a private balcony overlooking the ocean and the room was well appointed with a mini fridge, bottled water and a very comfortable bed. The infinity pool is very nice, with plenty of chairs and space to relax. Great breakfast buffet and dinner at the restaurant. Restaurant and bar staff are all so friendly. Special thanks to Priscila and Teddy at reception, who were especially helpful.

First I will preface this review by saying that both my husband and I are frequent global travelers for both business and leisure. Having said that, we mostly stay at Marriott/Bonvoy or Hilton properties due to having status in the loyalty programs. I just joined Wyndhams program and this is the first stay (5 nights) Positives-good location, friendly staff, lots of options on the TV. While writing this, we were informed that we had to move rooms due to a problem with the water. It was a hassle to quickly pack up, then unpack again, but at least the room seemed a bit better. Cons: Have to admit the hotel looked much newer and nicer from the photos online. And as someone posted back in February, property seems not well maintained, windows are still dirty, shower fixtures in poor condition. Certainly understand that Covid is an issue, but it seems that maintenance could have been done during the down time. Gym was not adequate for any type of real workout. Weight plates could not be safely held on a bar, as the bar was way too narrow, plates would slide off. Cable seemed frayed on equipment, lacked free weights. We walked out, did not seem worthwhile or safe. Elevator set up was poor, only one bank operating on each side. With a limit of 4 people per car, lots of time spent to go up and down. Another issue is that other guests- likely tired of waiting- would just crowd in the elevator car, even without masks, putting us at risk. Seems it would make more sense to open other elevators to spread things out for safety. Another small, but annoying thing-there was no ”do not disturb”/”please clean room” sign...which might have helped with getting the room cleaned before mid/late afternoon. In summary, while I don't know how or if Covid has an impact on these types of issues, but in comparison to the JW Marriott in Quito, which cost about the same rate, the Wyndham seems overpriced and more on par with a budget hotel that should be less expensive.

We had a wonderful stay at Eolia. The hotel is very stylish and the bungalow we rented exceeded all our expectations. Very clean, well equipped, very comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and the sea view is amazing! The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and always available to answer any questions! We felt very comfortable and would highly recommend the hotel! Thanks to the whole team! :)
