"A little piece of paradise right on the beach front. If you’re looking for a peaceful place close to Montanita, with wonderful people and great vibes, this is your place! Pablo and the volunteers made it feel like home away from home right from the start 💛 also, I highly recommend not booking any activities nearby in advance as Pablo will recommend much cheaper and better options for everything from surfing to whale watching. Thank you, Pablo, I hope I’ll come back one day soon 💛"

"A beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The location was just stunning, with access directly onto the beach. Although it’s a little bit out from the main town of Montañita, it’s so easy to get in either via a 2 minute taxi or very pleasant walk along the beach. It’s also a short walk to the town of Manglaralto which has anything you might need - nice/affordable local restaurants, grocery shops, markets, etc. Pablo was a great host, and even helped us gain our Open Water Diving Certificate while we were there!!"

"Amazing beachfront location, super friendly hosts, big pool"

"There weren’t many people there so the bar wasn’t open, but the hosts let us know they could organise food and drinks if we messaged them."

"I absolutely love the vibe at Kamala: everyone is really friendly, really relaxed and open. When I’m the mood for socializing, there is always someone to chat to. When in the mood for me-time, there is enough dove to hang out by yourself. They have a really big pool, which I really enjoyed throughout my stay. I also loved the hammocks for a nice nap and the overall location: far away from the busy beach and touristic area. The calm, private beach is just what I needed! And when in the mood for party and more busy areas, it’s only a nice 35min walk on the beach or a 1,50$ taxi away. Really easy. The hostel also collaborates with a surf school, which gets you discounts on rentals and surf lessons. Really enjoyed that! I switched around between a private bungalow and dorms: both really cool and enjoyable. Also a big shout-out to the the managers are making the place really enjoyable: Audrey and Maxime are such lovely people with their gorgeous dog Ruby!"

"Had a such an incredible stay! We’re meant to to stay 4 days and ended up leaving after a month. Such great people, location and atomsphere. Will definitely come back again. Special thanks to hosts Audrey and Max! Couldn’t recommend this place enough."

"It was lovely no complaints."

"We really loved it at Kamala and even had our longest stay as we kept extending it. Everything is just perfect, the location right on the beach and close to town was perfect, the bar is great with everything you need, the laundry service is very good (the smell is wonderful!), there was table tennis, a wonderful area to sit, a kitchen that has everything you need and a pool table, the bungalows are very comfortable, with their own hammock on the balcony and the beds with mosquito nets and a huge pool. The breakfast was delicious and on top of that the hosts are just wonderful people! We had such a great time and already miss it very much. The hosts are really so friendly and helpful."

"Absolutely great place to stay with amazing staff! Super chilled, with direct access to the beach and very spacious as well (swimming pool, volleyball pitch, bar, social space). Audrey and Maxime are super friendly and helpful! You can order food or do your laundry there with good prices and no stress 🙌🏻 Hostel is based in some distance from the town but taxi cost almost nothing there - so if you want to have a night out and party it’s super easy to do!"

"There was no kettle in the kitchen :) but I’m sure this will be sorted soon. It’s a really nice place."

"It’s a place where you feel at home instantly. Nice and quite atmosphere. A place for relaxation out of the frenzy of Montañita after a night out in one of the clubs. Good job, Audrey and Maxim!"

"Maxime and Audrey are Incredible owners. They succeed to create a real community life in their hostal. They are kind and attentive. The place is super located, you are close to wake up the feet in the sea. This peaceful place deserves your attention. Thank you so much for this experience."
