What are the pros and cons of living in Manta?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Manta responded:

"Beautiful country. Generally likable and welcoming communities. Spectacular and plentiful fresh food available. 12 hour days all year long, with warm weather all year. An enormous variety of activities, places, and natural wonders to explore. The OCEAN," said one expat in Manta.

"Expats and digital nomads living in Manta appreciate the city's laid-back atmosphere and its proximity to the beach. They also enjoy the low cost of living, which allows them to stretch their budget further. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads find the lack of infrastructure and public transportation to be a challenge.
