I spent 4 months in Ayampe at the beginning of the year and stayed in the beautiful Finca Punta for my first 8 days. It's quite a breathtaking property, nestled in the hillside overlooking the beach, with the Los Ahorcados rocks on the horizon creating a stunning vista. One that was enjoyed, along with the hostal's very chilled out vibe,... More

We wanted to find a fairly secluded beach on the Ecuadorian coast to recharge our batteries. A friend took us to Ayampe. The Finca Punta fit the bill. It is at the end of the main road running through the town. We stayed in one of the cabins with a beautiful view of the ocean and a few minutes to... More

The hostel has a nice relaxing athmosphere, great rooms and an awesome view. The food is amazing! Especially the bread! The only bad thing is that it's not really the most economical. In my eyes it could be a bit more inexpensive. But enjoyed the stay!

Last month my husband and I spent a week here with our 31-year-old son who is serving in the Peace Corps in Ecuador. It was just perfection!! So relaxing and enjoyable. We met some wonderful people from all over the globe. The food was divine and the staff amazing -- we left as friends and pledge to return with both... More

We brought our two kids here last summer for 3 nights and none of us wanted to leave! Great food, remote, tranquil setting and friendly service. Would return in a heartbeat. We all rented horses one evening and rode back to Finca Ayampe. Try the amazing seafood pizza! People are very friendly and accommodating. We hiked one day along the... More

After many weeks of exploring the interior of Equador and enjoying every minute of everyday, we thought it prudent to spend some time in the warmth and staggering beauty of the coastal community of Ayampe, a place where the beach is long and lovely, people are kind and considerate and relaxation may have been invented. We had the good fortune... More

I stayed at Finca Punta Ayampe for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. The location and the view was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they all seemed to know the names of all the people there. It felt like home away from home!

What a unique and memorable experience! Imagine being lulled to sleep by the surf and the breezes blowing through the bamboo. We were made to feel welcome by all staff members. The food was very good, and the room was clean and seemed quite new. Very special indeed.

We stayed in a new cabaña which was very clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. However, we found the food to be only okay and overpriced for what you get in town at the Surf Shop. The staff was very nice and talkative, but didn't inform us when our hot water pipe broke so we had to... More
