Hostal Puerta Manta

North Coast & Lowlands


A functional hostal near the mall and the beach, with old fashioned curtains but some nice views of the beach. A mix of old and new, you'll find 1980's era furniture alongside flatscreen televisions and air conditioners. One room fits up to eight people, but most are singles or doubles.
