- Jara Fiallo (10/5): Excelente - me encantó bonito todo
- Hans (8/5): - Very cozy hotel, nice simple rooms, small walk to the center Very noisy rooms, breakfast is kind of simple, but ok
- Evy (10/5): Geweldig - Rustig gelegen, mooi uitgerust en gedecoreerd, zeer net. Dagelijks werd onze kamer geschoond, het personeel was heel vriendelijk en aangenaam, geen enkele vraag was teveel. Bij het uitchecken mochten we nog gebruik maken van het zwembad gezien we ‘s avonds pas een bus terug hadden. Ontbijt was prima en flexibel! Er zouden fietsen verhuurd worden maar dit was niet mogelijk omdat ze niet onderhouden zijn door de lage vraag ernaar. Dit geldt voor het hele dorp, gezien wij op geen enkele anders plaats fietsen konden huren.
- Duane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chase (9/5): Great Place In PL, Quiet, Convenient, Excellent Staff and Great Breakfast and Pool - Great value, lovely people. The location is only a short walk to the beach restaurants and much quieter than the beach locations. The pool is off the charts lovely, and the breakfasts by the pool are excellent. They neighborhood may spook some because it's not rich, but it's a very short walk to the waterfront and the neighbors are great. I felt safe. Good wifi, AC works, hot water talks a while, so be patient, but it's hot. It is pet friendly, so sometimes there's a yappy dog, and the roosters nearby will wake you. The value here is better than anything in Puerto Lopez. The pool area alone is worth it. We watched the swallows swoop in to grab a drink from the pool and eventually had to rescue one who made a bad pass on the way down. Made us feel like we helped the universe. This is a great find. Not a lot of electrical outlets in the rooms, so you may have to move a desk if you want to plug in and do some online work. And the lightbulbs are dim (saving energy) if you're there for a while, you can buy a brighter bulb from a nearby store, or bring one with you). We only got one room key, but I stopped by a hardware store and had another made, a buck fifty, so we could each have one. I left the extra with the hotel, so maybe that room at least will now have two.
- Richie (9/5): Superb -
- Diane (8/5): Very good -
- David (10/5): Loved every minute of my time there. - For the price I can't fault the place so it's a ten all the way from me. I got the apartment across the road from the reception. Excellent spacious place. Jacuzzi in the bath, bedroom up the stairs. All good. Breakfast was great. Tuzco is a five minute walk back from the beach which, bearing in mind how noisy the area at the front can be is a real bonus. The pool and its surrounds were clean and well organised. But the best thing about the place is Julio and his staff. Welcoming, friendly and professional at all times. They arranged an early breakfast for me on two of my mornings and could not have been more helpful.
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is very cute and the staff is so friendly and hospitable. Love the pool area. We would definitely go back.
- Cristobal (10/5): - Lindo hotel y la tención muy buena
- Lorena (7/5): Good -
- Jiahui (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catriona (10/5): Exceptional - - super friendly staff, always helpful - everything was ALWAYS clean and my room was made up every day - the pool area was well maintained even though it’s the slower season. - good breakfast included! Nada. Me gusta todo
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional - I LOVED the pool! It felt like we were at a resort. The Staff were very attentive and friendly. And, the Jacuzzi was PERFECT! nice and hot for two!!! We plan to return again next month for more. No Cable TV. Please upgrade! We had to watch programs on our tablet. Yuck! Also, I wish there was a stove where we could make a breakfast 🍳
- Norma (10/5): We picked Tuzco because of the nice rooms, great pool and private secure parking - The breakfast was fresh and fast. The cook was friendly! The staff top notch! We would recommend Tuzco to all who would travel to Puerto Lopez! Nothing that we can think of
- Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jamie (10/5): Exceptional - Would 10 out of 10 recommend Tuzco! Every staff person we met was so friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The first night we discovered a minor issue with our shower. We let the owner know in the morning as we were heading out to walk around town. By the time we got back, less than two hours later, the issue had been fixed and our room cleaned! We weren’t even expecting housekeeping services. The pool was amazing and we felt so safe tucked away back there! Juan and his entire staff are great!
- Pinky (10/5): Peaceful, warm and very welcoming! - The place its self is beautiful, lovely pool surrounded beautiful tranquil gardens! Nice place to sit and chill and read a book or just an afternoon swim and nap! The staff was exceptional helpful and very happy-service with a smile! They save a good breakfast everyday with fresh fruit, juice and coffee. The lodge is in a quiet neighborhood only 4 blocks from the beach and several restaurants! Nothing
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wu (10/5): excellent and amazing trip - the host is very nice, we talked a lot, he is one who like traveling, he shared a lot interesting things to me. As for the property, the WiFi is good, breakfast is delicious, the swimming pool is amazing the position is a little far from the beach, around 10min walk, but it’s ok
- Raphael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barry (10/5): Exceptional - Lodge was good, staff was great!
- Donald (8/5): Very good -
- Yann (9/5): Superb -
- Patricia (9/5): Stay at this hotel and be surprised ! - The staff were very welcoming and showed us several different rooms to choose from. The pool area was fantastic I was looking for a book to read in English and they had a small library and collection of books to choose from for free. They also have a secret garden behind the pool area Lots of interesting places to relax as well as your room. The breakfast was not what I like, but all the other guests seemed to enjoy it. Maybe they could have a Choice.
- Alejandro (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellie (10/5): Overall it's a very relaxing place to stay for couples or people who like chill in hotel whole day - The staffs are very friendly. The buildings and surrounding areas are pretty and well-organized. Comfortable bed and shower. Big swimming pool. Very quite and relaxing atmosphere! The location is quite far away from the center, like 15-20 mins by walk. And since it's not a populated area it was hard for me to get tuktuk to ride me to center or the beach when I needed to go out for dinner with friends. Plus it was dark at night, as a single female traveler I didn't feel 100% safe walking back to lodge after 8.9pm. Last, there were many mosquitos when I stayed (maybe because season) so was a pity I couldn't enjoy outdoor facilities fully. Also not easy for solo traveler to social and make new friends
- Squires (10/5): Great find at an excellent value with an excellent staff - Fantastic breakfast, so fresh and unique. Great service, friendly and fast. The hotel can be a bit noisy in the morning, not too early, but by 8 a.m., you'll hear people talking in the courtyard.
- Alice (10/5): perfect hotel with beautiful pool area - Beautiful hotel with a really lovely pool and relaxing area which was so nice to have. Five minute walk to the front but not a problem. Owner was so helpful and accommodating and we felt really at home and comfortable here. nothing!
- Catalina (10/5): Tropical paradise on a budget. - Tuzco is a beautiful property and has a extraordinary kennel and dog yard. The pool is big and there is a walking meditation garden, well-tended with many birds. The staff are kind and helpful. It's a short walk up from the beach with sunset views. Like many places the pillows need replacing otherwise a perfect 5 night stay.
- Melanie (10/5): Wonderful experience - Julio and his father were some of the kindest people I've met on my trip around Ecuador. I arrived to the lodge quite ill and Dr Salazar nursed me back to health and they did everything they could to make me comfortable so I could heal. I wish I could give an even higher rating! The hotel itself is very clean and affordable and even includes breakfast. The pool was very nice as well. 10/10 recommend Tuzco Lodge! Everything was wonderful :)
- Alain (8/5): Very good - All WIFI, slow! Can not stream.
- Jumu91 (8/5): Very good - Nice and comfortable beds, room was very clean. Pool area is great to hang out, staff was very friendly and helpful. Good and varied breakfast. Whole hotel area other than the rooms would need some cleaning and renovation in a few parts. It looks a bit run down in some spots. This could easily be a 10 point hotel if it was cared for a bit better. Nevertheless, we would stay here again as it is still a nice place. Maybe ask for a room that is not facing towards the street, as there are small windows without any glass at the top of the room, which makes it quite loud at night. Also, some cupboards or places to hang your clothes would be nice.
- Christine (8/5): Very good - The staff were excellent, took me to aqua blanca and to the viewpoints and to the bus station. Pool area was a god send as town dirty and beach so noisy Think it was good all round to be honest, bit of walk down to the sea but that ensured it was peaceful
- Yoav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Quartier (9/5): Superb - the breakfast, the rooms, the location a bit off the center is perfect nothing, if it was cheaper I would have stayed for a week!
- Jacqueline (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was different every singe say and I love it The staff is exceptional very responsive to any of our requests. they went the extra mile beyond our expectations The view from my room but it wasn’t a big deal. The
- Shu (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice staff, good breakfast and great pool area.
- Gabriel (9/5): Superb -
- Zee (7/5): great stay - the rooms are big and prices reasonable. staff is very friendly a bit outdated
- Anonymous (10/5): loved it - clean place and nice owners
- Cheryl (8/5): Very good - pool, friendly kind English speaking people. Breakfast was good. unique place. price was good. so noisy! There was an upcoming election. Also there’s a rooster that started about 11:30 pm! Pool needed cleaning. Floor was slimy and top needed skimming.
- Diedre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaime (7/5): Good -
- Lotta (9/5): lovely staff - the staff was 10/10 and also the swimming pool area. Good breakfast too the beds were not comfortable. I believe the hotel soon needs a renovation
- Joanna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Uquillas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anderson (9/5): Looking forward to a return soon. - The friendliest staff ever - every single person was delightful. Pool area is beautiful. I swear the pillows are stuffed with rocks. No ones fault but the pool is solar heated so was cool. Would like to come back during sunny season and spend a week next to/ in the pool .
- Kari (10/5): Tuzco lodge ensured a relaxing and beautiful trip - Breakfast is excellent, different everyday and always delicious. The decor is beautiful and there's free coffee and water! It was perfect
- Dashell (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sinead (9/5): Amazing! - really great rooms with big comfy beds, tv, ac, and big bathrooms. Felt so comfortable there that i extended my stay from 3 nights to 6! The whole place has the feel of a mini resort. The breakfast is great and always changing, the decor and vibe is beautiful. The pool looked excellent too. Location is about a ten minute walk from the beach- a bit further than most other hostels and hotels but not a big deal.
- hipolito (10/5): - Excelente servicio, es atendido por los dueños que se esmeran por hacerte sentir en casa.
- Mauricio (6/5): Buen sitio..!! - Las fotos son generosas. El sitio esta bien, pero es sencillo. Caro para lo que es. (en mi caso 100 dólares por hab.) Necesita mantenimiento, las habitaciones tienen muchas manchas en las paredes, se ve sucio. Las sabanas, necesitan ser renovadas. Hay mucha bulla en la noche. El up de todo, es la gente. Gente sumamente amable y presta a ayudar!! con ciertos cambios menores, podría ser un magnifico sitio.
- Jaimee (10/5): - I loved the location, a bit away from the center. We had a rental car and there was an enclosed parking spot for us. The owner and staff were wonderful, kind and very helpful. The pool was great with plenty of shady spots for the adults to sit and watch them play. Breakfast was healthy and tasty. Our room had ample space and the beds were very comfortable.
- Joyce (10/5): Loved this place! - Had a most pleasant stay at this conveniently located property. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great. The value was exceptional. Try it!
- Javier (10/5): - Nos encantó el lugar y la atención, todo limpio y muy amables
- Iara (8/5): Lugar limpo e confortável - Os funcionários foram muito prestativos e atenciosos. Fica um pouco afastado da praia mas o bairro é seguro e é possível caminhar com tranquilidade.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice staff but photos aren’t representative. - Staff was very friendly but the room we checked in to was different from what I saw online/what I booked. They did eventually switch our room once someone checked out. The photos are somewhat misleading—there is no restaurant (although breakfast is included). We were under the impression that there was a restaurant on site to get other meals. Also mentions a poolside bar which there isn’t either.
- M (10/5): - Tuzco Lodge is in a great location in Puerto Lopez. It's only a 10 min walk away from the beach. So you're near all the action but not the noise.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel with a great staff - Staff is excellent. Front Desk will book any tours or transportation that you would need. Breakfast was fresh and served daily. Rooms clean and priced well. Minimal furnishings. Nice swimming pool. Hot water was not always available. The location of lodge is at the end of the road....down a muddy unpaved road.
- Edwin (10/5): - Un bonito hotel, un poco alejado del mar, pero excelente servicio.
- Chris (10/5): - Amazingly clean rooms, charming facilities, and super friendly staff made our short stay here a pleasure. It's only a 5 minute walk from the main street and 10 minutes to the beach.
