Mindo Real

The staff was wonderful they helped book outings and even help us get a doctor because of daughter was sick and brought things to cabin to help us . The meals were delicious and we were in awe of the beautiful setting and how diligent care in the garden only helped this

A little piece of heaven in Mindo, Ecuador. The property is beautiful! It is easy to see and feel the love put into everything at Mindo Real. Maria greeted me, and told me about different things I could do on the property, the pools which were very inviting, a covered area with hammocks, trails, a beautiful walk to the river. The rooms are clean and lovely, big windows that when left open amplified the sounds of birds, frogs, bugs and? nothing else but nature. There was a big open patio outside my 2nd floor room where I could sit outside, relax, and enjoy the views. My first walk back from town, I realized how very special the grounds at Mindo Real are. The driveway is long with beautiful plants and flowers lining it. On that 1st walk back I saw Yellow Tanagers, hummingbirds, and even an Agouti. Breakfast was so good. Fresh fruit, eggs, something fried with cheese, bread, and marmalade that I shared with a Golden Bellied Flycatcher each morning. I can't forget the Loja coffee, hot and black. There were hummingbirds, butterflies, and other birds all around. Anything I needed help with was quickly addressed, an extra blanket, a taxi, all I had to do was ask. Maria even purchased time for my sim card when she went to town the morning after she spent an hour the night before trying, I paid her afterwards.There was a state of emergency with curfews when I was there. I never felt unsafe in Mindo or at Mindo Real Lodge, day or night. I am 66 and was traveling alone.

A little walk to city center.place is quite and clean, Internet is good.ans Maria at the one that took care of us in all we asked was superbe.

Located 10 mn walk from the center,the area is super quiet,we had a confortable bungalow surrounded by the forest and plenty of birds and butterflies in the morning. Staff is extremely helpful giving any indications you need for the places to visit.Breakfast : fruits,eggs,bread,water fountain.a big pool.Everything we needed for our stay in Mindo.

Location is fantastic close to all the tours. If you get a cottage you can sleep with the river flowing in the background. The grounds are full of beautiful landscaping and flowers. Love the 3 dogs who are super friendly. Staff is beyond friendly and helpful. Maria is amazing! Breakfast was plentiful and delicious & served like a 5 star establishment. Short walking distance to center which had a lot of restaurants and shops. Do ensure to do the water falls hike and zip lining tour.

The hosts were lovely and very helpful. We arrived very late and they welcomed us very well, taking the time to bring us water, showing us to our bungalow, etc. The breakfast is very good and they change it everyday. The garden is beautiful and the pool is very nice. We liked our bungalow too, very secluded. The hotel is very conveniently located, near the city centre. We had a lovely stay there.

I can not praise the staff here highly enough, they are super helpful, super kind. The Total itself is located down a dirt track and through its own tall gates which are locked at night. The scenery around the hotel is just lovely, we saw hummingbirds whilst we ate breakfast, toucans near thee swimming pool and loads of other birds and butterflies I didn't know the names of. The hotel room was (std room) compact but clean and tidy with fresh bedding every day. All the area around the hotel is very well kept. The pool is snot heat debut on a warm day it was warm enough to enjoy. The BBQ down by the river is wonderful. We had a large wood fired BBQ and sat watching the bats swooping around catching the various bugs by the flood lights. The staff are great at advice about when to do certain activities too.

we were greeted as soon as we stopped the car and were given a choice of rooms, breakfast was extremely good, the coffee excellent,the weather was wet but we still found local things to do. Highly recommended for quiet and peaceful days,nonight life nearby, suited us perfect.

The property was excellent. Large expansive campus, with each cabin secluded, private and quiet. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was incredible. The cabin was roomy enough for the three of us, very clean and neat.
