If you are looking for a place to stay in Bahia de Caraquez, the Casa Grande is your best bet. Our room, number 3, had an ocean view and a terrace. The terrace, although shared with other guests, enabled us to watch the sun rise and set and was sunny and breezy. Our breakfast was served on the terrace, too.... More

A lovely large home turned into a very inviting and somewhat private bed and breakfast. The owners and staff are lovely and the rooms are really clean all having a nice view of either the pool and ocean or the front yard with wonderful flowers trees etc. Patricio the owner/manager was warm, very helpful and someone who makes your stay...

This is an old family house with about 8 rooms which are spacious. We stayed in the garden room which has its own balcony overlooking the street, but a small bathroom and it lacked hot water the 4 days we stayed. There were several reasons given for lack of hot water such as you have to turn the knob just... More

We had a delayed flight from Quito and came in the dark of the night. We woke up to a view of the ocean, a wonderful breakfast, and a list of things to do. We had hoped to stay a couple of nights at the Ecolodge Chirijee but the rains had made the road impassable. However, Patricio was kind enough... More

We knew what to expect at Casa Grande as we were there last February. We also knew that return visits to places we have been can be a "let down" from unrealistically high expectations. We should have know better here. Food, friends, the family and the scenery all just as we had remembered. And as a bonus, the rooms had... More

This is a family run place that really makes you feel at home. They bent over backwards to accommodate me and my girlfriend. The facility is first rate: clean and comfortable, and the pool is pristine. Breakfast excellent and made fresh. Only good things to say. Read my other reviews. I am a VERY critical reviewer and don't hand out... More

We spent three nights here while investigating the Ecuadorian coast. Patricio Tamariz and his mother and family run this grand old house set on the very tip of the Bahia spit, facing the blue Pacific. Ocean sounds abound throughout the house. While you eat your scrumptious breakfast on the terrace, Flor, Patricio's mother, feeds the birds with bread crumbs, which... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Grande and their sister property, the Chirije Ecolodge. We only stayed one night at Casa Grande but will certainly return on our next visit. The property is an older home that feels a little bit like grandmas house. In this case the grandma is Senora Flor. She and her son Patricio, his wife... More

Casa Grade is a phenomenal hotel for Bahia. It has a great location for enjoying the ocean views and the rooms are quiet and well appointed. The staff is phenomenal and Patricio and Julianna are excellent hosts that also speak English-they also provide great insights into all the beach areas on the Ruta de Sol. Their are multiple types of... More
