Best Hotel in all of Montanita!
This was like the 10th stay with Hotel Kundalini. So, I obviously love the hotel. It's about 100 meters north of the craziness of downtown Montanita You cannot hear anything but the ocean. It's a beautiful and tranquil place. The rooms are clean. They're quiet. They're set up nicely so you can immediately assimilate and get comfortable. I highly recommend the hotel. I think they're amazinly good at being helpful. ON a weird note, The car would not start. The owner personally drove to a car parts store and bought cables so he could jump our car! They took my stay or visit personally. No "hey call a tow truck". They jumped on it and fixed it and sent me on my way happier than I was when I arrived. Thank you!

It's a wonderful hotel. Only issue is if you're mosquito sensitive...which I am. I would encourage you bring tons of repellant and a candle or two of citronella

This was our second time staying here and it was even more beautiful this time! A few minutes walk to the center of Montanita and right on the beach. Hammocks outside each room and a restaurant on-site. Breakfast included. We will definitely stay here again!

Overall good stay
The property is beautiful and well cared for. They're eco friendly and well located, a quick 5 min walk from the makeshift bus terminal on the main road. I slept great despite the noise from neighbors and the discotheques [I am generally a light sleeper]. The private beach is a plus, though I didn’t mind the vendors on the one day that I ventured over to the public side. Montañita Beach is gorgeous but has a spaced out shore line. The young man did charge me tax at checkout; foreigners aren't supposed to pay taxes on hotels in Ecuador. The young man spoke great English, up until this moment. When I asked for an invoice, he said he couldn't understand me. Convenient. I will dispute with my bank. I'd still recommend the place, just be diligent.
