Guest Reviews

• Alexandra (10/5): -
• Robin (8/5): Comfortable birding lodge in good location. We'd stay here again. - The location and grounds were perfect for birding, which was our primary purpose. There are two moth blinds (only one active when we were there), a canopy tower, and a trail down to a river (it appeared to go up the other side of the valley, but we didn't investigate). Good hummingbird feeders and a fruit feeder are at the front of the building. We were one of maybe only two families staying at the lodge in August - so we had the whole place to ourselves it seemed. Food was good for breakfast and dinners. Our cabin was the last cabin down the hill which felt really isolated (good) until they put another family into the other half of our building on the last night (that seemed very unnecessary since all the other cabins were empty). There was no coffee maker in the room initially, but when I asked about coffee at reception, they brought down a coffee maker for the room - that was really nice. So just ask. Room was clean, the bathroom had shelf space (a rarity!) and the bed was comfortable. There was no screened porch or anything like that for the cabin that would let you enjoy the great location down there. Even the small shared porch area had only hard stools usable only to sit on to take off shoes. Some sort of comfortable outside seating at the cabin would have been appreciated.
• Leslie (10/5): Perfecto - La atención, el lugar, y todo fue espectacular
• Anita (6/5): - Beautiful rooms in the woods with many opportunities for walking and seeing birds. But regarding service and breakfast not what you would expect of this type of hotel. Breakfast is basic. Staff are friendly and doing their job. Missed a more personal or famial approach. Staff member told us to be at the entrance of the hotel at 5.50 in the morning to watch birds with him, but did not show up.
• cristina (10/5): - Great for relaxing, birding and nature tripping. Lodging is clean and comfortable, food is excellent, and trails are clean. Highly recommended.
• Samia (10/5): Exceptional - The place Se escucha todo si estas en ka casa principal
• David (9/5): Great location for birding, walking -
• Alice (9/5): Bird Paradise - hummingbird and bird viewing patios nice grounds top floor apartment outdated shower no shoes inside policy, slippery stairs very small rooms in bungalow
• Elizabeth (8/5): All in all the place is good - The food was good The swimming pool was not clean, the river was dammed and contaminated
• Hinojosa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carol (9/5): Superb - Great location for birds, nice grounds, lovely staff. Food, not much choice
• Saskia (10/5): wonderful and magical - This property location is magical; I had a great stay. The rain forest is superb; the hot jacuzzi is great. The staff is very helpful and the cabins are comfortable. Hope to come back one day! The massage setting at the spa could be better. It was cold and not impersonal.
• Jeroen (9/5): Very nice lodge with great birding possibilities - Nice lodge with great birding possibilities on site (Toucans, Tanagers, Hummingbirds, Umbrella bird, Trogon etc.) Nice restaurant with nice views of the hummingbirds. Very good food with exceptional big portions. Good clean rooms, with hot water. The two main birding // sitting areas are too close to the busy main road.
• Rodrigo (9/5): Superb -
• Carol (9/5): Superb - The location was quite convenient for early AM pick up by local guide for birdwatching. We stayed in a bungalow with views of the trees. Accommodations were simple but all we needed for a comfortable stay (2 nights). Food was delicious. Hiking trails and bird watching on the property. nothing
• Edgar (8/5): Very good -
• Felipe (9/5): Superb -
• Diego (10/5): Exceptional -
• Piotr (9/5): Good stay, great Lodge, friendly stuff. Clean, comfortable, conveniently located! - Great venue, friendly staff, good food. I didn't spot anything not to like in that Lodge, it was really good. Minor things that would be nice to have: hairdryer in the bungalow without the need to pick it up from the reception, porridge for breakfast :-), espresso for breakfast :-)
• Correa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Defran (10/5): Amazing place! - This was such a pleasant stay, the lodge is so cute and beautiful the staff went out of their. Definitely recommend.
• Cardenas (9/5): Superb -
• Luchito (10/5): - Excelente instalaciones, la atención es personalizada y muy amable siempre están pendientes de que no te falte nada, muy recomendado
• Patricia (10/5): - Many details in the landscaping, architecture of the buildings, and evidence of care given over the years to the upkeep of all buildings. A real pleasure to stay at such a well-presented property. Many bird varieties are seen from the veranda, and there are other fauna on the 320 hectare reserve.
• Kathy (10/5): Comfortable rooms and excellent food - On the outside the cabins look a little dated and shabby but once inside they are very cosy and comfortable. We had Cabin 15 and the views all around were of the forest and so peaceful. For the visiting birder Sachatamia is an excellent choice with plenty of action going on around the fruit and hummingbird feeders. It’s possible to get some wonderful photographs. There are plenty of trails to walk around for those that want some extra exercise. The food was probably the best we experienced in our 10 days in the Mindo area. Needless to say all the staff were warm and friendly. We didn’t like the poor weather we had with some extremely heavy rain but that was hardly the lodges fault and at least we had comfy places to sit while waiting for the rain to pass.
• Patricia (8/5): Very good - the food, the staff, the pretty grounds, and the cute room Our room was cold. The heater did not give off much heat
• Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sylvaine (8/5): It wasn’t part of our trip but we are happy that we stayed there. - Great blind for attracting birds with a night light! Lots of birds to see, nice feeding station next to the restaurant and hummingbird station. Pool needed chlorine, food is good but prices are a little steep for Ecuador.
• Elba (7/5): Good - The place itself is lovely and well maintained. Specially the pool. Breakfast is quite basic for the price we paid. We were in sachatamia a year ago and the quality was better.
• Benson (9/5): great birding location with helpful staff. - good food at restaurant. staff is very helpful. accommodated our early breakfast and late checkout without problems. the room we were assigned to was far from the main building.
• FRANKLIN (10/5): - Linda vista de los pajaritos , un lugar diferente para ver la naturaleza
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay in the Mindo area.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Hotel simple à Mindo. - Hôtel dans la jungle, petites cabanes sympathiques avec grandes baies vitrées, chauffage électrique d’appoint, Sdb rudimentaire. Personnel aidant
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Terrible internet I paid for 6 beds and there I got juts 4 and a sofa
• Verified traveler (8/5): Wonderful nature - This hotel has a nice mountain view and is located in the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes. Nice cloud forests full of birds an natural life. Food is good and the hotel has a cosy atmosphere. For hummingbirds lovers is the perfect spot!
• David (8/5): - Great experience at Sachatamia lodge. Welcoming staff despite language barrier. Great setting within the cloud forest with plenty of bird feeders to attract the local species. Great location for birding in and around the Mindo area with local bird guide Alex (who was excellent and speaks very good English) based nearby. Highly recommended.
• Amparo (10/5): Hotel lindo , acogedor , hermoso entorno - Experiencia buena .
• Pamela (10/5): Wonderful cloud forest stay - Near Mindo in the cloud forest. Absolutely wonderful in every way!! Went on several birding trips.
• Beatriz (10/5): Hostería relajante para disfrutar de la naturaleza - Servicio excelente. Lugar muy tranquilo, como para relajarse totalmente. El estado y decoración de las cabañas muy lindo. Jacuzzi y piscina en excelentes condiciones.
• Ramesh (8/5): Nice place to be in the rainforest. - The people working there are very nice and helpful. I have a problem with mold / mildew and had to request for them to clean my bathroom sink. Besides that everything was just fine.
• Lauryne (10/5): Great place to stay in Mindo, Ecuador - Great place to stay in Mindo - nice accommodations, wonderful service and good food. Highly recommended!
