The location of the property was ideal - right on the beach and close to the town square with easy access to dining and tours. We stayed in the rooms with balconies overlooking the beach, which were clean and spacious. Staff made check-in easy and we appreciated the snack pack they provided on our departure day (we had to leave at 5am to catch a 6am ferry!). Overall, our stay here was comfortable and we would stay here again.

The Albemarle distinguishes itself in its attention to detail. Best shower I had in three weeks in Ecuador. Lots of hot water. Used books by the bed to read, board games...the list goes on. Plus the beachfront location is great with lots of bars and eating places within 5 min walk.Plus very attentive and helpful staff especially Samy at reception. Thank-you all of you for a short but special stay!
