The seclusion and the views are the reason to come to this hotel. If you’re looking for a little comfort as well, there may be better places to spend your money.

Well thanks for the comment. Apparently a great percentage of our clients don’t share it. Nature and peace lovers really like here. Perhaps Ayampe is not your type of place. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Not a nice place
Staying at this place ruined a wonderful family weekend. -Photos are misleading, pool is very small and dirty -Room was not clean and full of insects. A large spider was crawling near my 6 year old. -Shower tub was not clean, had sand from previous guests. -No A/C -No soap in the bathroom, just one (almost empty) roll of toilet paper -Free breakfast was a joke. One small egg, one piece of toast, horrible coffee. Fruit was ok. -They let dogs and cats roam around free in the dining area while having breakfast. A cat jumped on our table. My wife is very allergic to cats and that caused a bad allergic reaction. -They ask guests to take their shoes off to enter the dining area which is fine, but the floor was filthy. My feet got dirty from walking on that floor. Yes, same area where dogs and cats roam free. -To top it off, way overpriced for the area and for what they offer. I can't post rates but this place is twice as much as other places with better amenities.

A sleepy little town
A great place to stay but not for anyone who does not like climing as all the cabins are on a hill with an awesome view. To walk to the breakfast which was fabulous one has to climb steps. The restaurant has a beautiful view also.

Great place for a quiet getaway
Only have good things to say about our stay here. Santiago and his staff are extremely accommodating. The cabanas are nice and quiet, and you’re only a 5 minute walk from the beach.

Best views in town
Beautifull location, friendly staff, great food. As this is located at one end of town, it would need a bit of patience to find (literally just follow the signs), but is well worth it.

Very unique hotel
This hotel is not for the faint of heart! The place is not easy to find, the trail you drive on makes a small car drag bottom! Once you rattle you and your car there then you have to find the hotel in the trees, up quite a few stairs and you arrive at the office, restaurant and sitting area. A very friendly proprietor awaits you and is very gracious host! The rates are great and I quite enjoyed the cuisine. Back down all the steps,down the road a bit and one of half a dozen cabins await you carved into the hillside above you, a breath taking view awaits you. Nice interiors, mine had quite a sewer smell when showering. My friends really smelled of mold and wasn’t as nice as my room. The mattresses are hard and not to my liking. Overall a neet place to spend a night.

Simple hotel with beach view
Fina Punta Ayampe is simple hotel very close to the beach, you can see it from your room and it's 5 minutes walk. I would recommend it for families, as it has friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. Breakfast and dinner is served in open dining room with fire place and several dogs and cats.

Outstanding sunsets!!!!
If you are looking for a tropical paradise on a mid range backpackers budget then this is your place! Located in Ayampe a low key, quite town, you just go down the road towards the beach and take a left. Even though it is all the way at the end of the road/town, it's still an easy walk. With a lot of bags and tired from travel, you can also take a taxi from bus drop off, $1.50. The owner and staff are fantastic and will do what ever they can to make you feel welcome. Breakfast is included and they do have dinners, drinks etc available. Be aware there are a lot of steps but without them you wouldn't have such wonderful views!

Relaxing Idyll in Ayampe (Not Handicap Accessible)
Wonderful place overlooking the beach. It was great to fall asleep each night to the sound of the ocean. We stayed in a cabaña - essentially a cabin. It was rustic, but there was a bathroom with shower and a ceiling fan (plus a hammock on the porch with a great view of the ocean). Sort of a "glamping" experience. The little infinity pool was nice as well. In the main house, the breakfasts were huge, fresh, and tasty. We also ordered dinner one night and it was delicious (also huge). Great, friendly service. ***PLEASE NOTE***: We had to climb A LOT of stairs to get to our place. If you require handicap accessibility, you should probably look elsewhere.

Excelente, hermoso lugar, la atención del personal esperctacular, muy serviciales. El sitio del comedor muy acogedor , las cabañas son bien rusticas pero está acorde con el lugar, acorde con la naturaleza del lugar. Esta muy cerca de la playa, la comida es muy rica. Super recomendado, Wilson y Santiago lo mejor!

Las instalaciones son muy básicas y las habitaciones podrían ser mejores. No son claros con las tarifas, el momento que cancelas con tarjeta de crédito te indican ese momento de hacer el check out que deben aumentar el 8% adicional. Inaceptable.

Recomendado , lugar hermoso
El hotel superó nuestra expectativa. El lugar mágico, la playa limpia y calmada, la comida riquísima la atención de Santiago y Erick fue espectacular. Sugerencias : habilitar senderos para personas con movilidad limitada y mejorar acceso a la playa

Hotel perfecto para desconectarse del mundo
Hotel pequeño, rústico, ideal para desconectarse del mundo, en un pueblo tranquilo muy seguro, el único detalle es que la habitación era muy calurosa y los ventiladores no solucionaba el problema, si creo que deberían implementar a/c

Un oasis en medio del bosque y frente a la playa.
El hotel es una maravilla escondido en un bosque de plantas hermosas y frente a la playa. La habitación amplia, muy cómoda, y con vistas al bosque y a la playa. La recepción cuenta con cómodos sillones, es amplia, y muy cálida. El desayuno excelente; la cena también. La atención de los empleados muy buena, especialmente la amabilidad de Manuel.
