Soak up the sea views and fresh air at Darwin Bay. Whether you opt for a cruise or gaze at it from the shore, this inlet is a stunner from all angles.

This inlet along the shoreline is often on the itineraries of travelers to Rio Verde. But Darwin Bay isn't the only highlight in the area. The Tree House, Church of the Virgin of the Holy Water, and Termas de la Virgen are some other interesting attractions nearby.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (386 reviews)

We loved our stay here. We had our two teenage sons with us and the room was perfect. The staff was incredible- so helpful and answered all our questions. They called taxis for us, recommended delicious restaurants, and even stayed up for us to arrive nearly in the middle of the night. Each morning they had an amazing breakfast for our family, which was one of our favorite meals of the day. They would do a juice, fresh fruit, granola, and then would make toast or eggs if we wanted it. Safe neighborhood and we felt very safe with the gate around the hotel. Would absolutely stay again.

I had a really enjoyable stay here at Hotel Sucre for 3 nights. The staff were very welcoming upon arrival. Shirley was brilliant. The rooms were very modern, clean and spacious. The towels were new and clean also. I felt very safe as the hotel had a guard who was also very helpful. Food options were great with choices of dishes and drinks. I used the laundry service which was very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend staying here. The location is excellent, 1 minute walk to the Metro and only 3 minutes to the main square.

Tungurahura is an impressive volcano in the high altitude town of Banos, Ecuador. We were very lucky to be able to see "the mountain out" as we Seattleites call Mt. Rainier.
