Guest House Villa Machalilla — Hotel in Parroquia Machalilla

At the beginning it was only the plan to stay for two nights in our room here in Matchalilla, but we liked the Airbnb as well as the time with our host Carlos so much that we decided to stay longer. One of the main reasons is that large parts of the proceeds of the hostel are used for the reconstruction and preservation of coral reefs on the beach just 150 meters away. Here it is possible to paddle with Carlos' SUBs in a beautiful bay and observe the coral reefs with diving goggles and snorkels. The hospitality of Carlos must be emphasized again. He is not only very warm and cares about the well-being of his guests, but also gives you very helpful tips for activities in the area. |If you not only want to stay for cheap money, but also want to have a real impact on the local ecological situation, you can't avoid Carlos and his beautiful rooms. But he will certainly be happy to tell you...

Juan Carlos is a pillar of ethical values, conservation and care in Machalilla- his work with the local community and Javier’s family to preserve the beautiful delicate coral is an impressive testament to patience and dedication to help change minds and encourage education about nature and treating it with respect and pride. It took him a long time and for this reason alone I would encourage you to support the snorkelling tour and if you can make a donation to conmar.Ec who have recently increased efforts to grow the coral so that many amazing species can flourish. Now the whole of Machalilla needs to get on board and be proud of what they have and be a part of demonstrating to the world that Ecuadorians respect their local habitat and that this in turn will encourage sustainable tourism and hospitality. I had the best snorkelling trip ever! Please...
