Cocos Restaurant and Hostal

Location:
Malecón and Fidón Tomalá
Salinas, Ecuador

Hostel

By Katie Tibbetts

Bright and modern, Cocos Restaurant and Hostal is a cheerful place to pass the time. Modern art adorns the walls, themselves colorful enough without the paintings. A patio-like seating area, smartly decorated with green umbrellas and orange and blue tiles, looks past the Malecón and towards the sea and leads upstairs to the hostal, itself as clean and modern as the restaurant below.

The glass-top tables and clean table cloths area a welcome change from the dominant white plastic tables and chairs, a common Salinas sight. Breakfast is more extensive than other places, but not much more expensive, which make Cocos a smart place to start off the day. Menu items cover a range of national and international dishes, including pizza and toasted sandwiches, parilladas and pastas—and of course, seafood. For a meal with pizzazz, try the sangria. Almost always full, this is clearly a popular spot and a good choice for travelers looking to meet other travelers. CocosTours also operates from the hostal-restaurant, and can organize a number of activities and excursions, including cultural, ecological, and religious tours. Prices depend on the number of people and transport. For information contact Oton Arboleda, owner of the hostal and restaurant.
