What guests think
At Hotel Balandra, travelers consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff, convenient location near the beach and Mall del Pacífico, and generous breakfast, while many also appreciate spacious, comfortable rooms, some with ocean views, making it a base for visiting Manta.
Guests frequently note very clean rooms and grounds, with occasional maintenance issues such as nonworking safes, minor AC problems, or a room needing cosmetic touch ups. The leafy grounds and pool area are appreciated, and on-site dining gets compliments, though some report many stairs with elevators only in the towers, and the pool can feel small or affected by nearby works. Expect a comfortable stay with warm service and practical access to Manta’s attractions.

Hotel is is in a big port city Manta. It is very close to the beach. If you are looking for a nice quiet b each , it is not. Beach is very noisy with loud music and also doesn't look so clean. Hotel is is like a different species with beatiful garden and swimming pool. Staff is great, breakfast is very good, rooms are big and very clean. It is a grwatbplace to stay if you need to stay in a big city. Fee steps from the hotel thwre is a shopping center.

This hotel has a lot going for it. Once inside you wouldn’t even know the city of Manta was just outside. The Bungalow area with pool is easy on the eyes and the room inside and out was very comfortable and welcoming. Next visit to Manta we will plan a longer stay for sure. For beach or shopping and local eateries it is a very convenient location. To top it all the staff were very friendly and went the extra mile to help make our stay perfect.

Cute little pool area, but the bar was under construction so we were unable to enjoy the area. The room we were in could use a little TLC (peeling wallpaper and ceiling) but otherwise clean and really nice. The welcome drink was refreshing and the restaurant was a nice place for a quick cocktail. We didn't have any road noise or party noises where we were which is important to us! Quiet! Beautiful property grounds too! We will stay there again when shopping in Manta.

Appreciated how attentive the hosts were. The rooms were great and have a fantastic view of the beach. I felt safe during my stay and well attended, plus the breakfast buffet was a perfect way to start a day. The Hotel is a block away (walking distance) from the beach. Ten minute drive from the airport and a 5 minute drive to great restaurants. There is also a giant mall to the side of the hotel, a two minute walk. Loved the stay, if i had to be picky about one thing, it would be the pool size, felt small for how big the hotel was. Plus it was always full of kids. Which makes sense since its a family type of hotel. But it wasn't too much of an issue since theres a giant ocean a block away. haha. The hotel offers a restaurant, gym and game room. Definitely worth staying here, specially if its your first time in Manta.

Très bon emplacement, près de la mer et du Mall del pacifico. Par contre, déçue de la chambre qui sentait le renfermé et la propreté laissait à désirer. En entrant dans la chambre, il y avait un verre en plastique par terre, cheveu sur le lit ainsi que sur le matelas. Il faisait une chaleur intense au 2e étage et ça aura pris plus de 2h avant de se sentir bien. Ayant beaucoup de plantes à l’extérieur, il faudrait que ce soit balayé plus souvent car on marche dans des escaliers avec des glands et feuilles.

Stay was amazing clean rooms and common areas. Hotel is within walking distance of anything you need, beach, mall, clubs etc. Visit coincided with with Manta 100yr celebration. Hotel staff was extremely helpful with local customs and places to visit. I would stay at the Balandra again without hesitation. I would suggest they upgrade the gym, although the beach within 2min walk has workout stations.

There was a driver waiting for me at the airport, and he was very kind and helpful. My room was spacious and overlooking the ocean (across the street not beachfront). Breakfast was great. Overall a great stay except for one night, there was a party that sounded like it was on the floor below me but it could have been in the next block.

The breakfast buffet included with the stay had so much variety and if you didn’t find something all you needed to do is ask and if they could they would accommodate your request. We really enjoyed our stay at Balandra and we will continue to stay in Balandra when we visit Manta.

El hotel està excelentemente bien ubicado sus servicio bastante bueno, sin embargo no regresaría, la principal razòn pues hicimos una solicitud con tiempo y sobre la marcha de que el desayuno del dia del check out el cual debiamos hacerlo a las 5am, muy temprano nos lo den el dìa que llegamos, pues llegamos a las 7.30 am y NO accedieron. La verdad una politica poco amigable y sin sentido. Nos ofrecieron un box lunch para el dìa de la salida el cual fue bastante simple y aunque fuimos dos huespedes solo nos dieron para 1 persona. Esa estricta politica harìa que yo no regrese a Balandra. Debo rescatar que si nos colaboraron con el early check in y eso fue un punto positivo.

The Balandra is a very special place. We stayed there after my wife had surgery to rest. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The facilities are wonderful and the food is delicious. An incredible place of beauty!

The staff was excellent. Daily helped us in upgrading our room and also assisted in booking transportation to our next destination. Having friendly after hours security is comforting. There was some construction going on next to the pool but that will only make it better in the future.

Close to the beach and next to Mall del Pacífico, with restaurants and shopping within a short walk. Some guests felt safe in the area and noted quick drives to the airport.

Hotel is is in a big port city Manta. It is very close to the beach. If you are looking for a nice quiet b each , it is not. Beach is very noisy with loud music and also doesn't look so clean.

It is a grwatbplace to stay if you need to stay in a big city. Fee steps from the hotel thwre is a shopping center.

This hotel has a lot going for it. Once inside you wouldn’t even know the city of Manta was just outside. The Bungalow area with pool is easy on the eyes and the room inside and out was very comfortable and welcoming. Next visit to Manta we will plan a longer stay for sure. For beach or shopping and local eateries it is a very convenient location. To top it all the staff were very friendly and went the extra mile to help make our stay perfect.

El hotel es bonito y se encuentra bien ubicado. Me pareció que el precio por el que pagué fue mucho. Tiene un buen desayuno. Pero cuando me tocó pagar él total con impuesto me salió mucho más caro que el Wyndham y esta cadena es de prestigio internacional. En general todo bien.

Appreciated how attentive the hosts were. The rooms were great and have a fantastic view of the beach. I felt safe during my stay and well attended, plus the breakfast buffet was a perfect way to start a day. The Hotel is a block away (walking distance) from the beach. Ten minute drive from the airport and a 5 minute drive to great restaurants. There is also a giant mall to the side of the hotel, a two minute walk. Loved the stay, if i had to be picky about one thing, it would be the pool size, felt small for how big the hotel was. Plus it was always full of kids. Which makes sense since its a family type of hotel. But it wasn't too much of an issue since theres a giant ocean a block away. haha. The hotel offers a restaurant, gym and game room. Definitely worth staying here, specially if its your first time in Manta.

There was a driver waiting for me at the airport, and he was very kind and helpful. My room was spacious and overlooking the ocean (across the street not beachfront). Breakfast was great. Overall a great stay except for one night, there was a party that sounded like it was on the floor below me but it could have been in the next block.

We stayed in a double bed room with a view to the beach. We loved our stay there. The staff was amazing. The food was so delicious. The breakfast buffet included with the stay had so much variety and if you didn’t find something all you needed to do is ask and if they could they would accommodate your request. We really enjoyed our stay at Balandra and we will continue to stay in Balandra when we visit Manta.

Maria Jose in the restaurant each morning - she was so lovely. She always had a big smile and a warm greeting. And the breakfast was delicious. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located next to a very nice mall and the beach. It was a really nice stay. If I ever come back to Manta, I would stay here again.
