A Whale of a Hotel!

'Twas our home for the weekend

While we were in the coastal city of Puerto Lopez for whale watching last month, we stayed in a very unique hotel . . . Hosteria Mandala.   The place seems hand-made with only the finest ingredients . . . with individual cabins set in a massive garden.  And just next to a wide expanse of beach where you can hang up a hammock and spend all day in a breezy cabana.  A great place to relax and watch the whales!  We recommend Mandala to anyone who wants a quality, laid back venue!   Save the Whales!!!

Dolphin Lodge

Each room is a separate cabin in the garden

No better sight from the hammock

Hosteria Mandala is a huge garden located right on the beach. Shelly looks lost!

We had to stay in the Dolphin lodge!

We are far from wherever these signs point!
