It has it all

Reviewed By dzcomet

Mindo has so many options for accommodation, it can be hard to decide on where to stay. Well, look no further. I was so happy to have chosen Terrabambu; it has it all. The grounds are beautiful, the pool looked lovely. I didn't use it as it was a bit chilly for me, and it even has a small zipline. The location is good, just outside of the town, but easily walkable. The rooms/casitas were large and spaced from each other. But the best part was the wildlife. If you came for birds, you came to the right place. Eating breakfast with all the hummingbirds buzzing around - Amazing. We also saw Toucans and Parrots, motmots etc. I would definitely stay there, good value for your money.

La Bicok EcoLodge

La Bicok Ecolodge enjoys a prime location, because we are just 400 meters from the village center without its pollution. The campground offers peace and tranquility while being close to the village. The advantage of Labicok by its tranquility, is the fact that calm coincides with birds, butterflies and insects of all kinds. The Bicok wants to be a place of calm and relaxation for a pleasant time, time for a short stay in Mindo or more. Achieving our Cabañas is entirely of wood, because here the trend changes everything for concrete, something that was impossible for us at this location as preserved natural and what the village of Mindo. The atmosphere of our Cabañas litters on a compact and user-friendly set around a small central patio to promote exchange between people. La Bicok Ecolodge, is a place of relaxation and essential rest to recover your energy during your stay. That is why we want you to be fully aware that no noise or parties are allowed here during your stay. This is a

We had a great stay at this lovely little eco-lodge. Our room was comfy, tastefully decorated, and had its own private terrace. The bar-restaurant area is well-designed and welcoming. We enjoyed a delicious and plentiful complimentary breakfast, were able to order some top-notch wine (a good glass of wine is not that easy to find in Mindo) and Sébastian, the owner, was very kind and flexible with our needs.

Amazing place to camp in Mompiche

Reviewed By alextrends

Loved this peaceful, tranquil place to camp. Simple, good value and clean. The tent was the perfect size and came with a good mattress and blankets. A very short walk from the beach and the shops etc. There are lots of flies at night in this region so don’t forget to bring deet or insect repellent. The owner has a cat and dogs which are super friendly and all part of the experience.

The INN is located in a village called Araque overlooking Lago San Pablo and a mountain at the back. It is indeed beautiful!! Patricio's INN is nice and cozy and the kitchen is clean too. I was free to cook. Very nice holiday INN I could lazy around. More importantly, Patricio is a gracious host. We spent a new year together dancing drinking wine around the fire. It was memorable. Many thanks Patricio and his family. All the best!!

Un Dia Boutique Resort

Un Dia Boutique Resort is the brainchild and dream of two best friends who fell in love with the Playas landscape and decided to make their dream a reality! Un Dia is a rustic resort that embodies everything we love about Ecuador and focuses on the little details to make our guest's vacation fun and memorable. The idea behind Un Dia was to create a space that encourages our guests to get out and make the most of every day. Our resort was designed with that in mind, keeping the rooms cozy but simple while reflecting the landscape of our surroundings. You will of course find some creature comforts here (WiFi is available around the resort grounds and in each room) but we want all of our guests to get out and explore, unwind and truly escape in this little piece of paradise.

1st Time to Playas, will return because of Un Dia!

Marcel, Jess and their amazing staff will have you spoiled with the personal service they provide by bringing you food and drinks to your own little shaded beach cabana! Our 19m old daughter loved the beautiful little pool. Can’t really say enough good things about the people and the property! Yeah sure the rooms are a bit rustic and get a bit warm, (remember your at the beach in Ecuador eh!)but they had great fans and bug nets to get you to sleep comfortably. Hope to see you guys again soon! Jordon, Cristina and Daniela Peace ✌️

Off the grid

Reviewed By 715celiar

The gate situation can be tricky. Check in at the gate on the right side of the road and wait for someone on the left side to come get you. Otherwise the man on the left side with the big dogs will yell at you a lot. You will never find the lodge yourself if you attempt to navigate the maze of dirt roads. The lodge is very quiet and secluded. No TV or fridge in cabins. WiFi worked well.

Hosteria Itapoa

Hosteria Itapoa in Puerto Lopez, Ecuador is in the center of Machalilla National Park, and only lies 20 meters (65 feet) from the beach. The hostel set in a charming area surrounded by lush grounds. Our hotel is family run and much of the proceeds fund the Itapoa Reserve Rainforest Project, paying for conservation efforts and programs to protect the rainforest.

Cosy cabañas & friendly staff

Reviewed By llaneza1

We rented a cosy cabaña with pvt bathroom and terrace. Great value for $50/n, it included free breakfast and WiFi. The friendly multi-lingual staff members were available to book our tour to isla de la plata, to answer with pleasure a couple of practical questions and they replaced the empty gas tank promptly with a new one for our individual water heating system. The owner is a charming Brazilian woman who loves what she does. One improvement we find that the quality of the breakfast could be a bit better (industrial bread & jam). Itapoa hostal is good value and great service!
