Kamala
is
a
dream
for
those
who
are
low-key,
love
to
be
around
nature
but
also
appreciate
delicious
food
and
a
fun
bar-on-the-beach
atmosphere.
Kamala
is
a
very
special
place
in
that
it
was
built,
owned,
and
now
ran
by
Ecuadorians.
Other
places
in
Montañita
town
can’t
say
the
same.
If
you’re
a
person
who
loves
nature,
to
occasionally
have
a
drink(or
more),
and
support
a
true
local
business,
this
is
the
place
for
you.
The
restaurant
has
the
BEST
food
and
can
accommodate
vegetarians
and
also
non-drinkers.
It
has
everything
you
need
that
you
don’t
even
need
to
go
to
Montañita
town,
but
of
course
that’s
not
recommended-
Montañita
is
a
blast!
This
hostel
is
far
enough
away
to
get
actual
private
beach
vibes
but
close
enough
to
walk
to
town
and
enjoy
endless
sand
and
waves
along
the
way.
The
icing
on
the
cake
is
the
plentiful
taxi’s
are
only
$1.50
to
town
from
Kamala
so
don’t
worry
about
always
walking
to
and
from.
The
bungalows
are
made
out
of
local
materials.
Mosquito
nets
are
provided
and
the
beds
are
comfortable
enough.
Occasionally,
the
water
turns
off
but
will
turn
on
later
on
the
day.
As
a
first
worlder,
I
appreciated
that
aspect
as
a
reminder
to
be
humble
and
appreciate
what
we
have
access
to,
as
opposed
to
being
pretentious
and
assumptive
in
a
third
world
country.
Montañita
town
is
wonderful-
but
it’s
Kamala
hostel
that
will
have
me
keep
coming
back.
Best
place
in
Montañita,
hands
down.
