We are in Bahia on our Ecuador coastal property tour.

In two days we covered a lot!  We view many properties in Manta, Crucita, San Clemente and Bahia.

Bahia is one of the nicest towns on Ecuador’s coast…Ecuador’s first eco-city. This Bahia portion had some very interesting deals beginning as we entered town. A new hotel just opened. In fact a number of our delegates stayed at this Bahia hotel and were among the hotel’s first guests…at Casa Ceibo.

Casa Ceibo sit on the Chone Estuary at the southern entrance of Bahia.

There seemed to be more yachts anchored at the Bahia Yacht club than normal.

The hotel is quite reasonable, $150 a night for two. We are able to obtain a sizable discount for delegates and Ecuador Living subscribers.

You can subscribe to Ecuador Living here.

The hotel is quite a wonder from the minute you enter and see a waterfall flowing down a huge rock facade in the lobby.

The decoration is rich wood, stone and white. From floor to…

ceiling.

The hotel is in three levels, the lobby in the mid level with stairs leading up

to…

restaurant and rooms. The rooms are richly decorated and …

have balconies looking over the the …

deck and…

pool and pool bar. The deck has many…

levels. Lots of wood too.

Of more interest were two properties right next to the hotel… a house and …

a lot for sale.

More on these in upcoming messages.

Until then, may all your sailing be clear.
