Pros:

The entire setting is gorgeous. If you come to Ecuador to see beautiful birds & flowers this is the place, just minutes from the airport. A fabulous introduction to Ecuador, all with the best comfort, great food and service.

Cons:

The proximity to the airport explains the airplanes flying above

Excellent stay at Hacienda Jimenita!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Hacienda Jimenita! The property is very lovely, with lush gardens, beautiful architecture, and a very nice trail along the rim of a spectacular canyon with views of Quito in the distance. We saw many beautiful birds in the garden and along the trail. It's almost hard to believe that the Quito airport is just 15 minutes away. The breakfast that came with the room was excellent, and the other meals we had on the property were are also beautifully prepared and delicious. Service was also outstanding.

Lovely boutique lodge style hotel
Pros:

This is a great little hotel close to the airport. If wildlife and birds are your thing, you have to stay here. Rooms are large and beds comfortable. Water pressure and shapwer temperatures are a bit of a gamble. Also, heating is an issue. The only heat in the rooms are wood stoves and i went through all the wood in one night trying to stay warm. They should invest in quality space heaters. The stove is cozy but quickly looses its charm at 2am when you have to build a new fire.

Staff is incredibly friendly and so very helpful. Restaurant is good. Food is between good and excellent depending on the dish. Food temperature could be improved. A few items arrived at the table cold.

The biggest area where they could improve is safety. Steps and paths are stone with no hand rails. This is dangerous. Especially if someone has any mobility issues. Ibwould love to recommended the hotes tonsime friends, but this one issuebwill keep me feom doing so. I will come back, so longnas i don't need handrails.
