This mega-resort geared towards the Ecuadorian elite is located right across the estuary from Isla Portete on the mainland. It has nearly 200 rooms spreading over a hodgepodge of pools, gyms, tennis courts, bars, buffet restaurants, discos and more. The deluxe rooms have ocean views, Ecuadorian textiles, and plenty of modern amenities.
There's a beach club with kayaks and other water toys just across the way on Portete (which guests access via a free boat service).
