Very nice and clean hotel. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, and had everything you would expect from any other hotel. My only gripe, and it is a very minor gripe, is that the restaurant only serves food during certain meal times. But they are close enough to many other good places to eat, so it really wanst a big deal. I was still able to get a delicious Mojito with fresh mint from the garden. And when I was able to eat at the restaurant for Bfast, and 1 dinner the food was excellent. Also, some of the better shopping for local handmade goods is less than a block away right out the front door and down the hill a little. Overall I enjoyed my stay, and I plan to stay at Perla Spondylus again the next time I visit Manta.
