Nativa Whale Domes Glamping & Camping — Hotel in Parroquia Puerto López

We stayed in the domes which make for a unique experience. The shared bathrooms were very clean though only one of the electric showers worked with hot water (first shower women's side). The kitchen was not well equipped, had only a plug-in stove with two burners and practically no pots or pans so we had to use our own. Internet worked well though. But the biggest problem we had were the mosquitoes which the family swore never bit them, but as newcomers to the region we of course got eaten alive and there were no mosquito nets around the beds in the domes. So the woman gave us a fan to blow over our bed to prevent the mosquitoes, and it worked alright, except sometime in the night they would turn it off by actually shutting off​ all the electricity in our dome until we'd tell them to turn it back on. They said it was to save electricity because we were running the fan all night and that the fan would clear out mosquitoes in one hour or two and then they'd not come back. I assured them that was not how things worked. After the second night of this routine, the woman asked me to pay for the extra electricity it cost her to use the fan, saying $5 would be ok! I talked her down to $2, but feel even that is ridiculous especially considering we had fed her and her husband dinner the previous night and fixed the zipper on the dome door for them. I suggested they purchase mosquito nets and this would solve all their problems. So my advice to anyone considering staying in a dome here, check to see if they have mosquito nets first or...

It was fine place when I was staying there. The problem was - I left my backpack in the reception room where was CCTV and the owner is all the time inside. I took the tour and came back and I was late for a bus and roughly grabbed my backpack and left. What I figured out later - somebody went through my stuff and stolen some Peruvian money and souvenirs, including 2 tiny seashells what I just collected from the beach in Puerto Lopez. So the only place where my backpack wasn't with me was when I left it in that room. ||It was my fault to keep the Peruvian money in the backpack, but the thing what pisses me off - who the hell needs seashells at the beach? I could think it might happened somewhere before, but if the seashells gone it was in Puerto Lopez for sure, and only might happen...

Amazing place to stay in Puerto Lopez. The place is a mixture between camping and a hostel but with a lot of comfort. It‘s possible to sleep in big tent domes, use your own tent, your own caravan or one of their tents. All for a really good price. The place is constructed with a nice concept, for example having electricity everywhere. There is a kitchen, a small swimming pool, a lot of hammocks and areas under a roof to use. Everything was really clean. The owner was incredibyl nice. He even helped us opening a coconut and setting up our tent. We had a great time and I would totally recommend the hostel.

El hostal estuvo muy lindo y limpio. El dueño fue muy amable y nos ayudó mucho....
