Guest Reviews
- Sylvia (7/5): Nette Lodge in ruhiger Lage. - Das Frühstück war super und es gab jeden Tag eine andere Zusammenstellung. Das Mittag und Abendessen fand ich gut, meinem Mann hat es nicht geschmeckt. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Die Lodge liegt außerhalb im Hochland, man muss immer organisieren, dass ein Taxi kommt, was aber gut klappt. 6 USD pro Strecke. Als wir das Zimmer übernommen haben, war die Toilette verschmutzt (WC Brille von unten, innen und auf der Oberfläche), das Bad schien ungeputzt. Betten wurden nicht gemacht und es wurde durchgefegt, aber trockene Tausendfüssler lagen auch bei unserer Abreise noch hinter der Türe. Das Personal spricht kein Englisch, was ok ist, es aber natürlich nicht leichter macht, etwas konstruktiv zu reklamieren.
- Katelyn (7/5): Good - The location was quiet and peaceful compared to Puerto Ayora. Breakfast was included and staff was able to adjust time of breakfast to meet my needs. They were helpful in calling taxis to town. The location has pros and cons. Keep in mind you will have to pay $5 each way for a taxi each time you go to Puerto Ayora. There are no restaurants nearby and it is too far to walk, so you will likely need to take taxis daily.
Some things listed in the description were not available. For example, I hoped to rent a bike, which was listed as an option on the page but wasn't available when I asked.
- Sumeeta (10/5): Wonderful staff helped make our stay the Perfect Vacation! - The best part of the Piedras Blancas Lodge is the staff! They were extremely helpful, friendly and kind. They assisted us in getting rides to the port area for our excursions as well as to and from the airport. The hotel staff even helped us get to the Island of Isabela when it turned out all of the ferries were full for the next 2 days. Two of the staff reached out to their friends and colleagues to try and assist us. Ultimately, they got us a great deal on a flight to Isabela in a small 6 seater plane which turned out to be a fantastic experience. We were able to see all the islands and Pacific ocean from the sky and avoid any sea sickness from the rough ocean. On top of that, they stored our extra luggage for us for 3 days and even dropped it off at the port for us on our day of departure from the Island for no charge at all. You really feel like they want you to enjoy your experience on the island. The breakfasts were delicious and the hotel setting is very relaxing and quiet. I would happily stay here again! Nothing
- Dolf (6/5): .
Needs improvement and personal touch. - The location 8 km from town is very quiet and situated in a beautiful garden
Bungalows are big and ac works good. The breakfast is poor with only 1 breadroll, butter and jam, one slice of ham and cheese and an egg. One day they ran out of coffee and next day of jam, but both were not supplemented.
Ik looks like the whole place is run by young kids, they welcome you, make the breakfast and clean the rooms. They are very friendly but to mee it seems they are not supervised and 1 afternoon they were all gone and we were all alone in the bungalowpark!
Due to havy rains there were a lot of caterpillars and my room 20 was infested with them. Luckily i got another room and there were only 2 the last night.
- Zahorsky (9/5): A definite win! - Everyone was so attentive, the place was very clean, and the grounds were fantastic! We were happy to be alone but it was a bit sad that we were the only guests at the time. There were no tortoises on the grounds and the language difference was challenging.
- Massimo (10/5): Exceptional - Very warm welcome. We were made to feel at home and enjoyed a really nice breakfast. Being slightly outside the main town (Puerto Ayora) made it feel very tranquil. Lovely green surroundings with beautiful flowers and banana trees!
- Craig (9/5): Jungle retreat - Loved the rain forest. Distance from Puerto Ayora $5 taxi ride. No restaurant near the hotel.
- Miroslav (9/5): Superb - Place is nice and quiet staff is very helpful It is a bit far f
- Elana (9/5): Beautiful location and delicious breakfast - The women who ran the property were very friendly and helpful. They helped us get to and from the ferry port and even helped us find dinner the first night we stayed. The property was beautiful with tortoises hanging around the property. Breakfast was delicious and wonderful. Just make sure you have cash to pay for the room, they do not accept credit cards. The property was a bit of a drive from the town and the ports, so be sure you have everything you need before you arrive. Make sure you have cash to pay for the stay. The property does not accept credit cards.
- Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - We were on the Island during elections and being down town was very noisy. So, we especially appreciated being at the Lodge which was quiet and peaceful. It is quite a lovely environment and the $5 cab ride downtown was worth it. The staff was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and kind hearted. Of course, we have found Ecuador to be like this virtually everywhere we go.
- Mauricio (4/5): Expensive for all I had - Very Quiet
Far from town
breakfast very poor
Small Pool
Basic accomodation
- Jean (9/5): Superb -
