This was my second time at The Sea Garden. Such a beautiful property along the beach. You can hear the waves from the room. The staff was exceptional, as usual. I highly recommend this place!

It was a pleasant stay. The owner was very helpful and provided me with good information and suggestions. As I'm not Spanish-speaking (my bad!) it was a major convenience to have fluent English speaking owners; at hand.

My husband and I spent 2 weeks at the Sea Garden and we honestly wished we stayed longer. We didn’t want to leave!! We plan on returning next winter for a longer period of time. We can’t say enough about the owners, Rodolfo and Maria. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Rodolfo was always at the front desk and available to answer any questions and made some really awesome recommendations of places to see and things to do. All of the staff onsite were truly just really amazing people. All willing to ensure that our stay was perfect. The room was great. Super clean, and their cleaning crew came daily to clean the room. The pillows and mattress were super comfortable and the AC worked perfectly. You can order breakfast and lunch onsite. The food was so delicious and affordable. My favourite part of the day was having their Ecuadorian coffee while hanging on the hammock by my room. The location in Olon is ideal. Ocean views from our room and only steps away from the ocean. Tons of amazing restaurants and shops in the area that are all walking distance. You honestly don’t need a car to get around. We had a ton of fun exploring Olon. We can’t recommend the Sea Garden enough & we look forward to coming back next winter! Cinzia & Ian

Best place in Olon! Amazing hotel owner and staff - they not only accommodated my early check-in, but also gave me a free upgrade to the top floor sea-view room! I was wow’ed the moment I entered the room. Everyone at the hotel was extremely helpful - someone sent luggage straight to my room, the kitchen accommodated my non-Ecuadorian lunch and dinner hours with customized, delicious dish, and they helped arrange a taxi to Guayaquil. The room is well designed and laid out - one of the best I’ve ever had in South America. The view from the balcony is marvelous, you can also directly access the beach from the property. The hotel is located on a quiet corner (yet there are many restaurants and shops just one block away, best location IMO). I read peacefully in the beautiful garden during the day, and had amazing sleeps to the sound of the waves at night. Wifi is good. This hotel can be a perfect retreat / get-away; you can also find activities easily if you want. Stay here and you won’t regret!
