Montanita is a small and charming town located in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. Let's be honest, Hostels are not the most glamorous option while travelling, but they offer great value for your money. Especially in a place like Montanita where the cost of accommodation can be quite high.
Hostels usually have a shared kitchen and living area which encourage guests to meet and socialize with one another. This can be a great way to make friends and explore the town together.
Another great thing about hostels is that they are typically located in the city center or close to the main attractions. This makes it easy to get around and see all that the city has to offer.
Finally, hostels are a great option for budget-minded travellers. You can often find hostels for as little as $10 a night, which is a fraction of the cost of a hotel.
