Hostal El Naufrago 1  

In Buena Vista, Manta — a compact hostal a short drive from the waterfront. Steps from Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabi and about a 3-minute drive to Manta Port, the property sits roughly 3 km from the city center and about 2 miles from Murciélago Beach. Puerto Cayo is farther afield (around 32.2 miles).

A small, 11-room hostal with air-conditioned guestrooms, pillowtop beds and private bathrooms with showers. Chill out on the terrace or in the garden, and enjoy a low-key bar atmosphere with 24-hour room service when you want to stay in. The vibe is simple, local and unfussy — easy coastal stays without the fuss.

Rent bicycles to explore the area, relax on the terrace or picnic in the garden. On-site essentials include tour/ticket assistance, dry cleaning and laundry, a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge), free self parking, and express check-in/check-out to keep plans moving.

Complimentary wireless internet is available property-wide to keep you connected.

Grab bites at the snack bar/deli or unwind at the bar/lounge with a drink. Continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM for a fee.
