Really nice place run by incredibly friendly people. The garden and surroundings are very beautiful, ideal to spot some birds. The walk to the bars and restaurants in the centre takes less than 10min.

It's amazing. The huge garden is full of exotic flowers and trees, the gentle sound of the river helps you fall asleep, kolibris join you at the delicious breakfast...

Nothing but bear in mind it’s a 15 min walk to the centre

Cleanliness, the gardens, pool and staff. Toucan outside our room window.

The grounds are beautiful! The room was big and the shower had hot water. Bed was comfy. Very quiet. We were on the second floor, with a shared terrace for the send story, overlooking the pool and towards the mountains. Fantastic view, and we could hear the river. The breakfast was included with our room option and was also fantastic! Hotel was five minute walk from downtown. Great location. Staff was also kind, spoke English for us.

I stayed in Mindo for two nights and Mindo Real was perfect! It’s a short walk to town but feels a million miles away. The gardens surrounding the property are gorgeous and you can hear the Mindo river which is a 5 minute walk. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the breakfast was hearty. It’s a great place to stay if you don’t have a car. The bus station is a 15 minute walk from the property.

We spend two nights in one of the cottages surrounded by the exceptionally beautiful nature. They also have an amazing garden, colibries and other exotic birds are visiting while you have your breakfast there. The breakfast is really nice, tasty local food.

Just the shower was somehow working badly.

The best breakfsast in Ecuador. Really nice place in the forest. Only 5 minutes walking to the village. Very very nice

We only had two hangers for my husband and I to share. More hangers and some hooks on at least one wall of the bedroom would be very helpful. A small bar of hand soap for the bathroom sink would be appreciated.

The breakfast was exceptional and our group of seven so enjoyed eating it on the patio surrounded by lush vegetation. The staff was always friendly and welcoming. Maria went out of her way to accommodate our needs as we were traveling with a young toddler.

The quiet location amongst lush gardens and forest , near the rushing Mindo River. It’s only a short walk into town. The staff are most kind, hospitable and accommodating. If I ever return to Mindo this is where I would like to stay.

Nothing. Everything was great!

I would give 20 stars if I could! This place is an absolute gem in Mindo! Quiet and peaceful, yet in walking distance to town. Breakfast is delicious. Fantastic location. Super clean facilities. And the staff is probably the nicest staff I have ever met. Very helpful, attentive, and patient. We absolutely loved this place!

I liked it all.

The location was very quiet, perfect for listening to and watching for birds. The gardens were exceptional, with so many varieties such beautiful landscaping. Natural but organized. Walkable distance from the town. Very quiet. The pool was great for the kids. Easily accommodated our large family group. Lovely group gathering space in a main floor lounge. Our host was exceptional. She was helpful with her knowledge of all the popular spots, with accommodating our family’s needs ( including changes of our plans), booking taxis, etc. The breakfasts were generous and delicious, and beautifully presented.
