The hotel is right at the end of an unmade road out of Mindo. So very tranquil. The gardens are beautiful, and if you like hiking, there are trails that you can follow to reach a great view or a waterfall. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent, especially the young receptionist.

The gardens of the property were really beautiful, really enjoyed sitting by the river at breakfast. Breakfast was nice too. It’s a little out of town but short taxi ride away or you can walk in 30-40 mins if you’re quick.

“Perfect, quiet, among beautiful grounds and we loved the walks.”
Mindo gardens is a few km out of the main town of Mindo. It has its own land with some trails/walks to nearby waterfalls. The gardens are beautiful and teaming with birds, frogs and other wildlife. So if you want a perfect/quiet get away staying somewhere beautiful while able to see wildlife then this is perfect. If you want to be central to Mindo and in a more busy environment then this may not be for you as the walk/taxi into town will get tiresome.

“Riverside accommodation in the middle of Mindo Forest .”
Excellent for bird watchers cabin close to the river with the soothing sounds of the hummingbirds and running stream. Hikes nearby to two waterfalls and the small lagoon, great for night safari for frogs and insects. Chef is very good loved the grilled prawns. The hotel was kind to give me a lift to Mindo as I did not have a car.

This is a lovely place to stay a few kms outside of Mindo, beside the river surrounded by forest. We were in Mindo bird watching so enjoyed the feeders. The staff were great - very helpful and attentive to our needs and very friendly. The food was tasty and fresh and the kitchen kindly provided us with breakfast to take away when we were leaving early.

“Nature place to disconnect”
This is the perfect place if you want to disconnect, it’s far from the main town in the middle of a forest and the river is next to. There are waterfalls and a lagoon you can go included. It’s a super nice property. Two things to improve: the breakfast is very basic and the pool is located 1.8 km away.
