Big Ralph's Hostal & Restaurant

South Coast


Located about 10-minutes' walk from the malecón, English/Ecuadorian-owned Big Ralph's earns high marks from homesick Europeans. It's decorated with English memorabilia, from Union Jacks to scenes of London. In the restaurant they even serve fish and chips and a proper English breakfast ($8). Simple rooms with adobe-style walls cluster around a relaxing courtyard and have terracotta-tiled floors.
