Authentic Ecuador

Pat & his wife provide amazing hospitality & genuine conversation We loved staying there

Great stay here overnight en route to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Enormous portions served amongst the cute animals for lunch and dinner Highly recommend

Incredible location and beautiful pool! We loved Gabriel - he was so kind and helpful!

Our room overlooking the bay was incredible! We loved hearing the flamingoes from the balcony. The downside to this hotel was hearing street noise - there was a dog barking through the night on both nights we stayed there. I know this is not something that can be helped, though!

This was the last stop of the day for us on day 1 and we had already had a full day (plus waking up at 5am for a flight), so we were a little too tired to enjoy it fully. We wished it would have been scheduled for a different day so we could have gone to the hotel to rest. But otherwise, we loved seeing the baby tortoises and Lonesome George!

Great staff. Great rooms. Top notch

Amazing location. Comfortable rooms. Great ambiance. GREAT breakfast. WONDERFUL staff

Great location and staff.

Vivianna our guide was absolutely amazing. She was knowledgable, kind, helpful. We learned so much and saw some incredible things.

What a great experience for our family. We learned so much about the wildlife, as well as had a blast snorkling with some amazing creatures

Absolutely the highlight of our trip. Great guide. Great experience. Unique landscape and wildlife.

Great way to end the trip, playing in some beautiful water

Very comfortable, clean and well maintained. A very nice dinning area.

Great staff, wonderful spat with an excellent esthetician. The rooms were comfortable and the restaurant was delicious

Very nice. Could have been a little closer to old town area.

Very nice little hotel with a pool just off of the main road. Room was large. Staff was very nice. There is construction going on all around this hotel.

Of all the hotels on our trip this was the least favorite. It was clean and had a good breakfast. The windows in the room would rattle or open when the door to the room was opened or closed. We had to be careful to keep the wasps out of the room when we entered and existed the room. Compared to the other hotels on the trip we did not have a balcony but we did have a view of the beach and ocean.

Nice rooms, pool, ping pong, fitness center, restaurant and bar.

The owner of the hotel was super accommodating worried about us making all of the connections and whatnot call people just super helpful

The service is great the hotel is a lovely location and the owners are super friendly they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable

I guess it's a hotel The cottages are really very nice when we were there was not a high concentration of people so it was very quiet also something I really appreciate they're very authentic they're in the rainforest but easy enough to walk to the pads are well done the food is great the service was very good and it was just a fun place to be

Hotels right in the center of keto and the Old Town so it's very convenient that way it's an old building much like Old Town you would expect the only downside that I had was there's a lot to gate to get out in caseville fire could have been problematic

Puerto vida meal is comparatively small and not a lot going on so this is probably one of the premier hotels there it was clean comfortable the staff was accommodating

Two and a half hours up the river a clay Bank to unload on and a muddy trail to get to the lodge it was an adventure the little electric carts that they use have no suspension but it was all just really worthwhile

Another two and a half hour boat ride back up the river it had rain so there was quite a bit of log and debris floating in the river luckily the captain of the boat was able to avoid at all

A great Beach although some of the locals did refer to it as torture Beach the water was very nice at the equator hot hot hot sun very little shade on the trail but still very nice trail as a person who passed us commented Camino del Diablo

The clay elixir something everybody should probably experience at least once the parrots are truly showing their their own behaviors

I enjoyed the women's Center and the experience that we had there the way that the fires were built the cooking the food bits it was all very interesting the night walk was dark and wet the day we were there but that's kind of what the rainforest is about

Given the altitude changes in keto and the steepness of the hills we were somewhat concerned about the bike trip it turned out to be kind of a highlight actually we went to the serpent house in the park and an open air fruit market that was truly great the guides were both very good and it turns out they had the pretty flat route

So much more at the equator than you could ever even consider second time I've been there and they have added the actual equator center not just the monument that was apparently a bit off .

Water clarity was not particularly good the day we were there so it was kind of disappointing I'm not a huge fan of snorkeling but you didn't really get to see very much because of the water clarity issues

A lot of sea lions everywhere but they had decent restaurants and certainly an experience of different types of people's and whatever bingo game on a Friday night sea lion in the middle of the plaza experience

A strangely compelling place it's very out of the ordinary not what I expected at all and I really enjoyed it

I'd pretty much give it up snorkeling by the time we got here my partner was much into it but I did talk to a nice young German guy who had eardrum problems and couldn't snorkel so that part was really worthwhile. You get a whole different perspective no

Lots of huge tortoises the one right at the entrance at likes the bananas that are hanging up will follow you around if you're wearing bright yellow shoes he's pretty sure that those are bananas so that was a good time lots of tortoises they're just doing tortoise like things

Probably could have avoided this activity a Long Walk 3% up to the top end when you get there there's civista but not much in the Vista but it is hot

I would have to characterize this is a low quality adventure essentially a paddle around the narrow Bay or a small Bay there are things to be seen lots of turtles some penguins but all in all you're out in the hot sun and open Kayak it wasn't my favorite
