Charming family run hotel located close to the airport
Pros:

We stayed one night before leaving Ecuador. We wanted somewhere near to the airport but didn't want to stay in a huge hotel. Hacienda Jimenita Wildlife Reserve was perfect. We had two delicious meals (lunch and dinner), lunch outside watching the birds all around us and then dinner inside as it was a bit too chilly to eat out. We walked around the reserve - it was beautiful, calm and relaxed with plenty of birds to see. The staff were all lovely and we would recommend this family run hotel to other travellers. The hotel also arranged for an airport pick up and drop off (at 3.45am!) for us.

Cons:

One small comment which is a frequent one for many hotels - although the bed was extremely comfortable, the pillows were not great. We take our own pillows when we travel, something I would recommend to others because then it doesn't matter what the pillows are like!

The best place to decompress before heading home
Pros:

The property is an oasis of beauty just minutes from the Quito airport. It is a full service property arranging transportation to and from the airport, a full restaurant, wonderful places to explore and enjoy and a spa providing services by prearranged reservations. We loved the trails, the archaeological cave and the food/bar offerings. Everything was so well cared for! The birds were habituated to feeding stations so they were plentiful and easy to photograph. There is an eclectic mix of very happy flowers, trees and other botanica giving it a kind of Noah’s arc feel with the massive expanse of Quito twinkling from the hills in the distance.

Cons:

At first the noise from the planes was bothersome but the place is so mellow it faded away after one day.

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.
