    My favourite place to stay in Ecuador by far. Everything from clean excellent rooms, comfy beds, swimming pool, breakfast, location next to the beach and shops is wonderful. But the best is the staff who work here and the owner Oswaldo and his family. Most helpful, kind, accommodating people. Can't praise enough this place. Highly recommendedcommended.

    Soga was just what our family needed. It was relaxing and we stayed in the suite which was perfect for a family with hot water and air conditioning. Very short walk to a beautiful beach. Oswaldo was amazing and very patient and a great chef. The food is some of the best seafood we have had on the coast! My kids response was "this is the best hotel ever".

    I stayed at Soga Hostel for two weeks and Oswaldo made me feel really welcome from the start. Nothing was too much to ask and he was always willing to help. Value was excellent, the place was clean and tidy with nice places to eat and relax, and breakfast and dinner were varied and excellent. Bring ear plugs as there was a cockerel that liked to start crowing at silly o'clock in the morning! If you forget Oswaldo has some for you! A really good base if you are a kiter, only 15 minutes walk along the beach from Kite Ecuador, there are bikes available too (I didn't use). Thanks!

    The Soga Lounge is an amazing place to stay! The owner, Oswaldo is incredibly helpful and hospitable, and goes out of his way to ensure everything is comfortable and taken care of. I stayed for 2 weeks and couldn't have been happier with my choice! The wifi is incredibly fast (fastest I've had in South America), the showers are hot, there are multiple places to relax with an excellent social hammock area, a great pool/bar set up and a ping pong table. Also the breakfast that is included every day is not only filling, but delicious and changes everyday so you don't get tired of the same routine(Oswaldo is a trained chef)! You can see the ocean and it is a short walk to the Kiteboarding Schools. Finally it is incredibly affordable. Superb value for money. All in all it is one of the best places I have stayed and would very highly recommend checking into the Soga Lounge!

    Super Hostel! Recommended Very nice food and friendly staff! Rooms are clean and quite. I went there a few days for kitesurfing and they provided me a free shuttle (everyday) to the near kiteschool. Thanks ✌️

    This is a very nice hostel in an awesome location. There are many hammocks and lounge areas for relaxing, the wifi works well and they have a clean pool. I really enjoyed my time here and highly recommend it. You will be surrounded by good people, enjoy delicious meals and have nice conversations. The beach is only a one minute walk away and it is absolutely beautiful.

    This hostel is amazing. The beach was so close and the free breakfast was delicious. The owner was so kind and friendly. My friend was very unwell upon arrival and the owner helped us with everything we needed. Great room with aircon and a TV with netflix. Would definitely recommend.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Highly recommended to stay here in the hostel! Great atmosphere, kind people, good vibes. The location is great, it's very close to the beach! A lot of things to do here, even a pool table and a swimming pool to chill. There is also a great view, many hammocks and you can work on your pc enjoying the sea!

    First, let me say thst the people who run this hostal are the nicest, most sincere, lovely people possible. For the price, this is a great place. The rooms are fine but not great. Our room had a demon-possessed shower head, but it was replaced as soon as we mentioned it. There are plenty of hammocks and cozy places to chill. For those interested in kite surfing, it is a me or more away from the companies that do this. We had bikes, so this wasn't a problem. The biggest issue for us was the noise. This hostal is designed to accommodate guests who are going to be up late having fun. There is nothing wrong with this, but we wanted something quieter and more chill. Again, just our preference and not a slam against the hostal-we aren't its intended audience.

    SOGA Hostal is defenetely the place where you should stay in Santa Marianita. Without soga hostel - the place would not be the same & i wouldnt have such a good time there. Im glad that i had the chance to get to know SOGA. Oswaldo, the owner, really takes care about the guests, gives awesome advices, is super friendly & funny. The Hostal has an amazing ambiente, the food is delicious, the pool a highlight. Thank you!
