Hotel is is in a big port city Manta. It is very close to the beach. If you are looking for a nice quiet b each , it is not. Beach is very noisy with loud music and also doesn't look so clean. Hotel is is like a different species with beatiful garden and swimming pool. Staff is great, breakfast is very good, rooms are big and very clean. It is a grwatbplace to stay if you need to stay in a big city. Fee steps from the hotel thwre is a shopping center.

We stayed in a double bed room with a view to the beach. We loved our stay there. The staff was amazing. The food was so delicious. The breakfast buffet included with the stay had so much variety and if you didn’t find something all you needed to do is ask and if they could they would accommodate your request. We really enjoyed our stay at Balandra and we will continue to stay in Balandra when we visit Manta.

The staff was excellent. Daily helped us in upgrading our room and also assisted in booking transportation to our next destination. Having friendly after hours security is comforting. There was some construction going on next to the pool but that will only make it better in the future.

Stay was amazing clean rooms and common areas. Hotel is within walking distance of anything you need, beach, mall, clubs etc. Visit coincided with with Manta 100yr celebration. Hotel staff was extremely helpful with local customs and places to visit. I would stay at the Balandra again without hesitation. I would suggest they upgrade the gym, although the beach within 2min walk has workout stations.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. You wont be disappointed! Thank you Balandra Hotel
