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.

Lovely—and birdy
Pros:

This was a great place to begin to unwind at the start of our trip to the Galapagos and then Peru. Many birds around the grounds, trails to hike (with more birds to see), and lovely facilities. Helpful friendly staff, too.

Pros:

We chose the lodge on the recommendation of our tour guide company as a retreat to chill out after a busy 8 days visiting the Galapagos and Amazonia.

It was indeed a relaxing location where my wife took advantage of the resort spa and I was able to enjoy the scenic walks and spot a few bird varieties.

The food and hospitality was good.

A few of the treks were restricted and that was the only negative point.
