Guest Reviews:
- "Vistamar is a special place with incredible views and such a homely, peaceful and cozy vibe! I could have happily stayed here for several weeks instead of just 6 days, and am already thinking of returning as soon as possible! The room was large and had a lot of storage space, and the bed was super comfy. I loved the shared kitchen/garden/chill out space downstairs, as well as the spacious rooftop deck that's used for yoga classes in the mornings. The beach and some very cool bars, cafes and restaurants are only a few minutes walk away. The optional meals at Vistamar (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are a nice touch, and are fresh, local and healthy!"

- "The staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help me with any issues or needs I had." - "Once you arrive and walk into the compound that is this hotel, you are in a different and peaceful world where the sound of the waves, natural plantings and South Pacific style accommodations take you to a very zen place. Its beachfront position in a remote area means you often have the beach to yourself for walks or sunbathing. Being remote, there are no stores or restaurants nearby, but that doesn't matter because breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel's little restaurant with amazing Tiki Bar are available 8a-8p and are scrumptious! To see other nearby places, the manager arranged for trusted taxi transport or brought us there herself. Un Dia Boutique Resort was our first of many hotel stays on this trip to Ecuador and the hospitality there spoiled us and set a high bar for the rest of our trip."
