Nautilus Lodge — Hotel in Parroquia Puerto López

You arrive off of a dirt road, through a beautiful gate. The main (?) staff Estephan welcomed us and was super gracious and friendly, and speaks English which was a nice bonus. ||It’s a quaint little hotel with lots of vegetation. We had a 1st floor 1 bedroom unit (with a little bed area off to the side of the living room too which was super cute). ||When we realized the AC didn’t work as AC (just a fan) we got an extra portable fan but it was still very warm.

We where located in the Nautilus suite, which is very spacious with a big balcony with hammock and sitting area. The room has a so called matrimonio bed (which is common in Ecuador) and a single bed. For us the matrimonio is really too small to have a good sleep for the both of us together, we therefor used both beds.
