A few airport reviews from the archives

We had a great time in Manabi and went to the Manta airport a few times. Everything was great and we'll be back again and again. I am shocked about 2 members negative notes, but we are humans and different:-)"

"Built out of an old US military base, you feel like a Guantanamo escapee just being here. Soldiers patrol every stretch of perimeter and flickering neon lighting is reminiscent of interrogations. Mosquitoes and other small biting flies are still there but the nearby town of Montanita is too good to bypass, and the local buses are definitely worth giving a miss for long haul journeys."
