The resort is called Casa Del Merman at GayMontanita House, it is clothing optional, has hammocks, chairs, massage table, courtesy bar and kitchen - all poolside. It's about 2500 feet from the party town center and the beach. It’s a quiet neighborhood so you can sleep. Merman Beach Club is our bar and restaurant on the beach on the Surfers Point, La Punta. mermanbeachclub.com

* How does a potential guest travel to Montanita?
Flights go to Guayaquil (GYE) and we can arrange a taxi, usually $85 one way, or van $120 depending how many people are traveling together, Once in town, almost everything is walkable or a $1.50 taxi ride. We don't recommend renting a car. For seasoned travelers, there is a direct bus from Guayaquil to Montanita for $7. American Airlines has the best connections through Miami. Fort Lauderdale also has JetBlue and Spirit, but the layovers in arrival times are not great. Copa Airlines connects through Panama City.
