Las Terrazas de Dana Boutique Lodge & Spa

As part of our private tour day tour from Quito to Mindo, we had lunch on the terrace of the restaurant, which overlooks the cloud forest. This is a relatively new property. We hope this review encourages people to stay or enjoy lunch or dinner here. The staff were warmly welcoming and did everything they could for our experience to be a good one. The menu had an ample many enticing choices; we all had something different and it was absolutely excellent in every way, like what you'd expect in a fine restaurant in NYC

Fantastic place, very friendly staff. Marco made us feel very welcome. We had the best room with a great view, lots of birds, agouti, squirrel. And there are two fantastic dogs that like your love a lot. Also enjoyed the bubble bath a lot. Food is very good as well. Birding tours were well arranged, we had a good guide two times and saw many different species.

We splurged for our last night in the Mindo area and enjoyed the luxury of Las Terrazas de Dana. Staff were excellent and accommodating. They arranged transport for us from Mindo to Guango Lodge, recommended area walks, and had umbrellas available for guests to use. The food was excellent, including breakfast (included) and dinner (not included). Very comfortable and spacious rooms. The only fault I could find was that the sound of rain on the roof was laud, which made it a bit difficult to sleep. But overall the stay was delightful.

In January we stayed 3 nights at Las Terrazas de Dana. A lovely boutique hotel just outside Mindo. After a heartwarming welcome by Marco, the manager, we were guided to our suite. A lovely room with an beautiful view over the Cloudforest and the well maintained garden. Birds are all around you. The restaurant serves delicious meals, the whole staff is lovely and very helpful. They really make you feel at home. The birdwatching tour we requested, was fabulous, our guide had so much knowledge about all the birds and with her telescope, we saw the most amazing birds. Two special staff members need to be mentioned, Dana and Kira, 2 lovely dogs who welcome you every time you pass by. To make a long story short, this is really the place to be when staying in Mindo.

Oh what an amazing three nights we had here in de Dana! Our room was superb with the beautiful and private surroundings of lush, tropical gardens. Very quickly the staff became our friends: Marco, Angel, Josselyn….the service was impeccable with everyone going above and beyond to make our stay most pleasant. The restaurant was a bonus with delicious meals and lots of variety. Marco arranged our hiking and bird watching (highly recommended and saw more than expected with Julia) expeditions just like that! We will come back to our amazing Mindo and all it has to offer.

We loved this friendly hotel from the moment we made contact with David before arriving, to our welcome and then every single aspect of our stay. Comfortable reception area, gorgeous, clean and spacious room with lovely view, amazing food - all the team are so helpful - plus a pool. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you from R&R
