Las Terrazas de Dana Boutique Lodge & Spa ★★★★

"Finding the right balance for a couple with one obsessed with birds and one who prefers relaxation and a bit of pampering is always a delicate balance. Terraza de Dana looked like it fit the bill. During the planning David assured us that we could both achieve our goals with spa treatments on site, chocolate, butterfly, orchid tours in town and for me private guided birding tours. The guide was excellent and I was able to see over 240 species. They arranged stress free transportation to and from the airport and cab transportation back and forth to town. David, Marco and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend."

Biohostal Mindo Cloud Forest ★★

"Older open-concept concrete building at edge of town, secure parking. Reception friendly and English-speaking, spacious rooms, hot showers. Lounge features a guitar and set of bongos. 3rd floor breakfast area with syrup/fruit feeders for good 'birding',"

Cabañas Armonía y Jardín de Orquídeas ★★★

" We first stopped here first at the recommendation of our driver who knew we wanted to see local wildlife and the environment. We had our 17mo old daughter with us who is particularly into flowers. The garden was larger then expected with so many different varieties, and our guide spoke english and was able to answer our curious questions. What we are extra thankful for is being able to book a room here last minute when our original hotel had double booked and given away our room. The Orchid Garden was very pleasant to stay in with a our room having a view of the garden, with birds flitting here and there and a tremendously peaceful atmosphere. The room itself was very clean and comfortable."

Toucan Platinum Suites Aparthotel ★★★★

Casa de Piedra ★★★

"Vi tilbragte en nat her fra stranden til Quito.Det er ekstremt tæt på centrum, som er stor.Du kan gå et par blokke og være, hvor du vil være. Ejendomen synes at sprede sig ud med nogle hytter, der er mere isolerede end andre.Vi var i en 3-værelses suite, der havde et badeværelse.Nedsiden er, at vi var på gulvet, og du hører hele bevægelsen gå over dig. Vinduerne er også ret begrænsede i det, der åbner med skærme, så det var ret fyldt op til overnatningen, da det blev kølet af lidt.De har et godt grillområde, som vi plejede at grille en nat. Kabinerne har små køleskabe, men vores havde ikke køkken eller tv.Personalet var meget venligt.Vi mødte nogle af dem og de lokale hunde og hele vores en nat og morgen der. De hjalp også med at arrangere kabelbilen, der går over zip-linjen for os.De har en dejlig varmerør, de holde opfriskede, hvis du har arrangeret at bruge det, så det er rent vand.Og poolen er ret stor, selv om lidt køligt.Frue var enkel. Skrabbede æg, frugt, frisk seng fra et lokalt bageri og frisk lavet sæbe, juice og kaffe.Du kan ikke slå holdets beliggenhed og venlighed.Jeg vil bare foreslå at tjekke, hvad værelse arrangement du har"

Hostería Pilpikuna

Hosteria la Roulotte - Mindo ★★★

"Kærlig La Roulette!Omgivet af naturen og væk fra Mindo's grusomhed og bustle, er dette sted et smykke. Kabinerne er så søde og har alt, hvad du har brug for til en perfekt nats søvn; gode senge, tonsvis af kud, masser af varmt vand og god WiFi-signal.Restauranten er rimeligt prissat, og alt er hjemmelavet og lækkert. Dette er et perfekt sted at tilbringe et par dage under udforskningen af Mindo. Vi blev kun en nat for at bryde køreturen tilbage til Quito fra Esmeraldas, men ville have elsket at blive længere."

Casa Divina Eco Lodge ★★★

"My wife and I spent a week at Casa Divina as part of the Andean Choco Birding Tour organized by their sister company Sabina Tours. Our spacious room was located close by the main lodge and surrounded by a jungle alive with singing birds. Our upstairs room was private, very clean and serviced daily. The Choco birding tour included all meals which were taken either on the trail (when birding) or in the lodge. Marta, the wonderful cook, created delicious meals featuring local, healthy cuisine all the while taking care of my wife's gluten free requirements. Staff members all spoke English and treated us with personalized attention. We spent the week with Owner Efrain as our birding guide (reviewed separately under Sabina Tours). We met his wife Molly on our last day when she returned from visiting her family in the States. My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Divina and look forward to returning for our next birding adventure."
