Excelente
Pros:

El desayuno buffet estuvo muy bueno. La piscina temperada muy agradable. La atención del personal fue excelente. Los niños tiene un espacio para divertirse.

Cons:

En general todo bien, quizás lo único que en época de calor el agua de la piscina podría estar más fresca, no tan temperada, porque durante el día puede parecer calurosa.

Great value for the price. Will definitely be back!
Pros:

Had an incredible stay at Balandra Hotel.

Great location for exploring Manta. The staff well-trained and kind. The rooms are modern and very quiet. Breakfast was delicious and had a good variety, though the pool was a bit small.

The room was spotless, the bed was actually comfortably. Overall, a very comfortable and convenient stay. Great value for the price. Will definitely be back.
