Las Palmeras Inn

The property is stunning, with palm trees and tropical plants, an organic garden, and animals (llamas, guinea pigs, and friendly dogs). The architecture is unique and the rooms very comfortable. The staff are all very friendly and helpful (even calling taxis and storing luggage after check out). They brought hot water bottles to put in the bed to keep you warm at night. How special! There was a fire in the fireplace at breakfast. The breakfast was delicious, giving you a choice of two out of three options (fruit with yogurt, eggs/bacon/ham, or pancakes) along with a hot drink (tea, coffee, hot chocolate), rolls, and fresh squeezed fruit juice. Much of their food is grown right on their property. The tour of the garden is amazing, so many varieties of plants and flowers. They have pet guinea pigs and three llamas plus two very friendly dogs. We called taxis when we needed to get to town (about 10 min from downtown Otavalo) or to visit Cuicocha National Park (about 25 minutes). We definitely recommend staying at Las Palmeras Inn if visiting Otavalo, Ecuador.

There was no hot water in the shower but we mentioned it to the owner and he was going to check into it. It seems that was unusual.

The hostería is beautiful and clean.

The dinner menu doesn’t have much options.

Great place. Loved the room, the grounds, the fireplace! Food and service were both excellent.
