Nice and spacious rooms. The noise from the outside varies based on the location of the room. I found that the rooms on the upper floors tended to be noisier. Food was ok. The hotel was located within walking distance of Plaza Fochs, where there were many restaurant options to choose from.

Rustic experience in the jungle. I think one has to manage their expectations when staying here. The rooms are nice and comfortable - no air conditioning but a fan is available. Even with screened windows, it's still not unexpected to find insects inside the room like moths or small ants. Power outage is also par for the course - especially with the unpredictable weather that could go from sunny and humid, to a deluge of rain. The staff were amazing - they made the experience totally enjoyable.

The views of the crater lake were amazing. The 2 stops before Quilotoa (local market and visiting an indigenous household) were ok.

Probably the most memorable experience for me during this 10-day trip. I was the only one taking the horseback riding tour amongst my group, so I lucked out with getting a private tour with my guide. It was a my first time horseback riding and I was very grateful to have a docile horse. The ride was challenging - involving flats on the plains surrounding Cotopaxi, some hills and valleys, and water crossings. The weather went from cloudy, to rainy and cold. As challenging as it was, I felt privileged to be able to experience it all.

Great place for rest and relaxation.

Challengingly unique experience. This whole experience was even made more special because of my guide Carlos. He truly looked after my safety while providing a fun cultural experience.

Great way to see the sights in Quito. Thank you Jhonatan and Daniel! You two are great ambassadors for the city of Quito.

Driver was on time. Car was nice and clean.

We had an amazing time at Jamu lodge. Our guide Adrian was very good and punctual. All the meals served were very healthy. Our Suite was beautiful and comfortable. Truly, a memorable stay at Jamu lodge. The only thing I would have loved to have was having a fan in the Suite as it is very humid in the jungle.

Hotel experience was decent. Breakfast was good. Lucia served fresh fruit juice everyday explaining the benefits of the fruit which was very nice experience. Hotel is in the middle of Old Town. Short walk to Basilica and other interesting spots around. Very authentic and Spanish inspired location. Only negative is the Hotel does not have an elevator,, so it is little hard to carry big luggage up the stairs.

This is a nice hotel with a decent breakfast. Near to many restaurants, and the Pier where you can see wildlife.

What a gem this family run hotel is! Lucia is an absolute lady and all the staff did their utmost to make our stay perfect. The rooms were great and we slept very well thanks to the lovely mattresses, soft cotton sheets and comfortable pillows. Breakfast was a treat with fresh varied juices and fruits and eggs cooked to order. The location couldn’t be better. Just a few minutes walk from one of the delightful town squares. We will most definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

Gorgeous old hotel with great character. Our room was stunning! It’s perfectly located close to the old centre of Cuenca and breakfast was very good. I would suggest asking for a room that doesn’t overlook the main street as we found it noisy at night.

Wonderful old style hotel outside the centre of Guayaquil. We had a huge suite and we felt like a Honeymoon Couple! Food was lovely and the staff were very kind. It was so peaceful up on the hill and we slept really well. We would definitely recommend this hotel over those in the busy Malecon area.

The hot spring pools were wonderful. Rooms were so comfortable and nicely decorated. Food was excellent and staff were all very friendly. Would definitely live to return here!

Very pleasant stay here for our 1 night in Mindo. It’s such a great place to “get away from it all”! Having dinner and breakfast on the balcony overlooking the treetops was wonderful. Staff were very kind and friendly.

Very comfortable room and we found the food to be outstanding! Staff were so kind and welcoming and the location was magical!

Lovely hotel. Very quiet and our room was huge! Staff were friendly and helpful and the meals were excellent.

This was such a luxurious hotel and the grounds were incredible! Our room was beautiful and we loved our food at dinner and breakfast. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

Nice hike around the lake and it was pleasant to amble around the market for a while.

Cóndor Park was very good. We were amazed at the variety of birds!

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favour the day we visited. We didn’t see any Alpacas, but the fog was so heavy we could hardly see our hand in front of our faces! The drive (until we hit the fog) was pleasant however and we had a lovely lunch in one of the small restaurants near to the lagoon.

We had glimpses of Cotapaxi summit (and when we did see it, it was beautiful! The National Park was beautiful though and there’s lots to enjoy even if you don’t see the volcano that clearly.

Again we had very poor visability the day we were to see Chimborazo peak. We asked the guide to turn back 10 minutes after we hit the dense fog (about 20 minutes before the summit) and instead we enjoyed the lower area close to Riobamba.

We loved Cuenca! Very traditional and very walkable around the old centre. This was one of our favourite places in Ecuador.

Enjoyable scenery but I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest! The photo stop at the top was good but I think perhaps I expected more from the National Park area.

We enjoyed our time exploring Guayaquil. The Santa Ana area was lovely and we enjoyed the walk along the Malacon.

Really enjoyed seeing the Iguanas in the park! Especially nice to see the babies who were only a couple of months old!

Wonderful time exploring the historic centre of Quito. We loved all the Churches and the big squares with the fabulous architecture.

Very enjoyable day. We loved the cultural aspect of it and the food at lunch was super!

Highlight of our trip on Mainland Ecuador. The birds were just amazing. We saw several species of Toucans and the experience with the humming birds was phenomenal!

Very Comfortable Nice bed, friendly staff. Felt very secure

Location wa amazing, dead center facing the entrace to the old town, roof top pool which was welcomed highly considering the afternoo heat. Breakfast delicious. Staff welcoming and smiles. Felt very secure

This place is RUSTIC. There is no airconditioning. The bathrooms are as basic as they can be and still be called a bathroom. However, It is completely far away in uninhabitated land. The food wa cooked by Locals and delicious. The access to the fishing wa amazing. The johnboat ride to and from the fishing grounds at sunrise and sunset were easily worth the price of admission. If that is the kind of experience you are seeking, I highly recommend.

Great hotel. Warm and welcoming staff. Beautiful location. Comfortable rooms. Amazing art. Delicious dinner. And the courtyard with the bunnies and peacocks made us laugh.

Great hotel. Warm and welcoming host. Beautiful location. Comfortable rooms.

The class was great. I didn't know what to expect, but it was very fun. Our host was welcoming and knowledgeable. The meal was delicious. And it was a great way to slow down a little and learn about Ecuadorean food.

We were suffering with the altitude, so we weren't sure if we'd make it to the second refuge, but we did! It was snowing and foggy, so there was no view, but we were still thrilled to have made it.
