Truly a Place of Dreams

Villa De Los Suenos was an incredibly wonderful experience. We stayed for a week over New Years Eve 2012. Shel and Marsha have really created an unbelievably beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The location on the beach at La Entrada is perfect, close to all the activities in and around Montanita around 10 min drive, but far enough to enjoy quiet and relaxing down time. The property is pristine, clean, and well kept. The rooms are U.S. standard first class, granite, dual sinks, large walk in showers, hot water, walk in closet, safe, large living/sleep area, comfy beds, both queen and full, and kitchenettes with a microwave, fridge, sink, and drinking water. The rooms open to a large spacious balcony over looking the beautiful south Pacific Ocean, with views that are the best in the area. The balconies have hammocks and tables and chairs, great place to eat or nap. The pool area is the best I have seen in Ecuador. A great water slide, attached hot tub, and an infinity pool with an area where you can put your chaise lounge and sun in the water, great idea. The view from the pool area is right on top of the ocean. The pool side cabana was great, nice brick BBQ, that we used several times, a fridge for beer and drinks, a sink, and plenty of chairs and tables. Also the sandy private sunning area was a great idea. Easy access to the beach. We went with two teens, a 12 year old and a 9 year old, and they had a blast. Swimming, walking on the beach, sliding, they thought it was the best vacation they have had in a long time. Kids loved Chocolate, and are still talking about him, what a great companion. The staff were awesome, pleasant, helpful, and always there with a smile and kind word. The breakfast, was wonderful, you can't beat Benito's Bakery and every morning we had fresh juice, coffee, and breads, pastries, and eggs to die for, and of course the view from the porch was again just beautiful. And of course Shel and Marsha are the perfect hosts, never smothering, and always there when you needed something and friendly as anyone we have met here. We have lived in Ecuador for 5 years, and this is a real jewel on the beach in Santa Elena Province, the absolute perfect getaway for couples or families. I would recommend this House of Dreams to anyone who wants to experience the best of the Ecuadorian beach culture but do it in real comfort and style, for a very great price. We will be back. Thanks for helping us make great family memories.
