Tijdens het ontbijt kijk je uit op een tuin vol vogels. Rodney en Selena zijn heel hulpvaardig en vriendelijk en geven goede tips voor bezienswaardigheden.

"Dormir avec les oiseaux à deux pas de toutes les commodités de Mindo"

10.0

El Descanso se rejoint très facilement depuis le terminal de bus. J'ai été chaleureusement accueillie par Rodny (parle espagnol,anglais, allemand) le propriétaire. Le chalet principal donne sur le petit jardin où colibris, tanagers, motmots et agoutis sont présents de 7h à 18h. J'ai pris le petit déjeuner (bon et copieux) tous les matins en les observant. J'ai pu utiliser la cuisine bien équipée pour mes autres repas. Il y a toujours de l'eau potable et du café à disposition. Selena s'assure que l'hôtel et votre chambre soient toujours d'une propreté impeccable. Le wifi est excellent.

Dans le deuxième chalet, celui où je dormais: quel dommage d'avoir une salle de bain comme neuve et devoir laisser couler l'eau 7 minutes avant d'espérer avoir un mince filet d'eau chaude. L'isolation sonore entre les chambres est faible. Pensez à prendre des boules quies, surtout les week-ends.

"Great spot"

10.0

It was so good, I went back for a second time. The rooms are clean and the breakfast area is a jingle full of birds and aguettas. A beautiful spot and greasy location to the town centre. Rodney was very helpful and have me a ride to the bus station. 10/10 for me
