Location
Situated within 5 minutes' walk of OK.com, the 4-star modern Hotel El Marques Atacames offers a peaceful retreat at a swimming pool with a hot tub. The hotel is a good starting point for exploring Atacames, including the lively Playa de Atacames Beach, which is just 350 metres away.
This hotel is located nearly 10 minutes' walk from Iglesia De Atacames and nearly 5 minutes' walk from Parque Central Atacames. When staying at the El Marques Atacames, you'll be 2.3 km from the El Surillal Aqua Park. The accommodation is situated just steps from the quiet Playa De Sua Crescent-Shaped Beach, and Trans Esmeraldas bus station lies only 5 minutes' walk away. For those travelling from afar, Colonel Carlos Concha Torres airport is 35 minutes' drive away.
Hotel El Marques welcomes guests to 172 rooms fitted with an air conditioner as well as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Featuring a separate toilet and a shower, the bathrooms also have a hair dryer and towels. You can enjoy views of the city.
A buffet breakfast is available in the morning. Shamu restaurant looks out onto the ocean and specialises in vegetarian cuisine.
Review by hotel critic
Hotel El Marques in Atacames undoubtedly positions itself as a notable choice for travelers seeking a blend of comfort and luxury. As a wildlife conservationist and safari guide, I'm more accustomed to the beauty of African landscapes, but my stay here painted a fresh picture of Ecuador. The rooms are spacious and clean, boasting essential amenities like air conditioning and flat-screen TVs. They lack an inviting charm one might expect. The restaurant offers a limited menu, and while it's slightly pricier than nearby options, the freshness of the meals balances it out. The daily breakfast is satisfactory, complementing the overall experience. The outdoor swimming pool, though refreshing, might not match the ocean's warmth. A highlight is the hospitality; the staff was always keen to assist. While this hotel comes with a higher price tag compared to local accommodations, the convenience and standard of facilities justify the cost for many travelers. It is a wise investment if you're looking for comfort amid the vibrant Atacames beach scene.
