Punta Centinela is a headland and beach on the Ruta del Spondylus, next to Punta Blanca, in Santa Elena canton. It is best known as the home of the Royal Decameron Punta Centinela — one of the larger all-inclusive resorts on the coast.
The headland
Like Punta Blanca and Punta Barandúa, Punta Centinela takes its name from a "punta" — a point on the coast. Its high ground gives wide views over the Pacific, and from June to September it is a good place to look out for passing humpback whales.
Royal Decameron Punta Centinela
El Royal Decameron Punta Centinela es un complejo turístico todo incluido que domina la zona inmediata. Atiende principalmente al turismo nacional de Guayaquil y Quito, con acceso a la playa, piscinas, comida y entretenimiento en un paquete autónomo. El complejo está en el cabo y tiene acceso tanto a vistas desde el acantilado como a la playa de abajo.
A veces hay pases de día (para que quienes no son huéspedes usen las instalaciones); consulta directamente con el complejo.
Getting there
Punta Centinela is on the coast road (E-15) north of Ballenita, next to Punta Blanca. Any Ruta del Spondylus bus from Terminal Sumpa can drop you at the entrance — see Buses Along the Ruta del Spondylus.
