First time in Ecuador
My husband and I are in our late 60's and this was our first visit to Ecuador. It was a wonderful experience. We love the beach and this was a perfect place for that - literally across the street! The view from our unit was jaw-droppingly gorgeous - we had to pinch ourselves every day. We didnt have a car but didn't need one - there is a big supermarket about 5 short blocks away. When we needed to go further, it was easy to get a cab right outside the unit. The area does get noisy and a little crowded on weekends but not terrible. I wouldn't recommend being there during Carnival, however, because that is insanity for 4 days straight at all hours. If we had realized that, we would have used the time to visit another part of Ecuador.
The unit is older and could use some updating but the rental manager was attentive and was prompt in responding when we needed something. The kitchen was completely outfitted and we ate in days. He also arranged for an English speaking driver to pick us up from Quayaguil and bring us to Salinas! The driver was great, reliable and his rates were reasonable - he even gave us a little tour of Salinas, took us to his favorite beach an hour away and to the mall to translate for us (no habla Espagnol) when I needed to get a SIM card. We hated to leave!
