Guest Reviews

• Jennifer (10/5): Excellent séjour ! - Hôtel très agréable au milieu de la nature tout en restant proche du centre de Mindo. Notre chambre donnait sur le très beau jardin de l’hôtel, la forêt et la montagne. Vue splendide ! Chambre spacieuse, confortable, très propre. Nous avons aussi profité de la piscine et du très bon restaurant. Petits déjeuners egalement excellents et copieux. L’hôtel a organisé notre transfert depuis Quito et une sortie avec guide pour observer les oiseaux (on a même le droit à un thermos de café et gâteaux comme le réveil est matinal pour observer les oiseaux, avant de prendre le « vrai » petit déjeuner au retour de l’excursion). Un grand merci à l’équipe de l’hôtel très accueillante et au petit soin! Tout était parfait !
• Ronit (10/5): מלון הכי טוב במינדו, עלות הוגנת ותמורה מעולה - מלון מקסים עם צוות שעשה הכל כדי שתהיה לנו חוויה מהנה. חדר מרווח, מיטה גדולה, ג׳קוזי מפנק ומרפסת לגינה יפה ומלאת ציפורים. ארוחות בוקר וערב טובות וכל בקשה שהיתה לנו נענתה בחיוב. היה מושלם!
• Natalia (10/5): -
• Camila (10/5): - Todo estuvo genial, la atención, las instalaciones y el restaurante. Volveremos sin duda :)
• Cristina (10/5): Un descanso y desconexión perfectos - En general todo, en especial el trato del personal. Muy atentos en todo momento! No hubo nada que no me gustara
• Laurent (9/5): - L'emplacement La tranquillité L'amabilité du personnel Le restaurant Certains plats trop chers pour la quantité Ne pas pouvoir utiliser la bagnoire spa dans la chambre par manque d'eau chaude
• Myriam (9/5): -
• Jenny (10/5): - Un très bel séjour! C est un établissement très bien géré, un grand merci à son gérant Marco qui fait un travail remarquable. Tout était parfait, chambre extraordinaire avec une vue magnifique dans la nature. La gentillesse du personnel, la qualité des plats, et le massage avec pierres chaudes de la rivière ont rendu notre visite inoubliable.
• Mihail (10/5): - Great staff attentive and kind, Angel and the others were perfect!
• Heather (10/5): There are not enough words to describe how much we enjoyed our stay here - We loved absolutely everything… it was the most perfect hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The whole team looked after us like family; Brian & Angel especially went out of their way to be as helpful & friendly as possible. The room was delightful ( king suite) with a balcony view to die for. We watched so many little birds and squirrels going about their day from the comfortable chairs there. Everything here was top quality including the most delicious and varied menu in their lovely restaurant. We never eat dinner in hotels elsewhere, but we simply could not bring ourselves to leave! I could not find a fault with any aspect of our stay, it was amazing
• Elizabeth (9/5): A high quality place to stay. - Beautiful with the garden and in the forest. Very nice helpful people. Good breakfast. The weather was very bad and it was cold in the open restaurant and even in the room.
• Susana (9/5): Confortable - La limpieza y el trato del personal Algunas gradas porque tengo una persona de la tercera edad en mi grupo
• Shyam (10/5): Perfect place for exploring the cloud forest - Everything. Rooms, location, restaurant, but most of all the friendly and caring staff that make you feel like family. They look after you and your needs exceptionally. Marco is one of the most kind people I have ever met Nothing
• Elisa (10/5): We loved staying here while in Mindo! - Super accommodating and great staff!
• Arno (10/5): - So idyllic, staff so friendly, nothing else to wish for.
• Iwona (10/5): Awesome!!! - This place is absolutely awesome. One of the best places that I have ever stayed in. Everything, and I mean everything was perfect. The room, the view, the food, the cost and the service. Excellent Excellent Excellent. There are literally 100's of places to sleep in Mindo. Highly recommend that you skip the rest and just go for the best. Disappointed? Yes disappointed that I can't live there. I expect Heaven to look like that. Literally Heaven on Earth. With Breakfast included. Excellent.
• Megan (10/5): Peaceful. Beautiful. Perfect. - The property is tucked away in the mountains. Each bungalow feels secluded with plants and nature providing privacy. The view is gorgeous. The staff was absolutely top notch. I had to leave early for the airport and they packed me and my son a to go breakfast as an example of their attention to their guest needs. They were also very helpful with booking bird watching tours and giving info about my upcoming Galapagos trip. Highly recommend.
• Iris (10/5): - Die beste Unterkunft während unserer Ecuador-Rundreise. Hier passt einfach alles!!!Toller Service, wunderschönes Zimmer, und leckeres Essen im Restaurant. Leider waren wir nur 2 Nächte da - wir empfehlen mindestens 3 oder 4. Es gibt hier so viel zu sehen und zu unternehmen.
• Babette (10/5): -
• Alvaro (10/5): We had an incredible time an felt taken care of. - Super friendly staff, comfortable and clean. Close to Mindo town. Great food.
• Richard (10/5): Super kind staff, delicious meals and comfort in a paradise location. - Breakfast was fantastic with many menu options. The food was presented beautifully and was delicious. We also had lunch and dinner, and everything we ordered was terrific, including one dessert that was as delicious as anything that we have had anywhere. The restaurant was being renovated, so these great meals came in a temporary space on a beautiful balcony. Having to leave. We could have spent many more days there!
• Bryan (10/5): -
• steven (10/5): - Friendly staff and excellent view
• Vadim (10/5): Отдых в окружении порхающих колибри - Прекрасный отель. Отдельный домик на двоих с панорамным остеклением и террасой. Сидя на террасе можно наслаждаться видом на горы, над цветущими кустами и деревьями порхают колибри и другие птицы, за которыми можно наблюдать в бинокль, который можно взять бесплатно на ресепшене. Место очень тихое, можно хорошо отдохнуть. Утром просыпаешься под пение птиц. Персонал очень приветливый. Есть хороший ресторан, блюда вкусные, цены умеренные. Завтрак сытный, на выбор шесть позиций, можно заказать все шесть одновременно. Сеть Wi-Fi в номере не работала.
• Patricio (10/5): Excelente lugar para descansar y disfrutar - La atención del personal, la comida que ofrecen en el restaurant y la comidas de las habitaciones. Nada
• Eduardo (10/5): -
• Nicole (10/5): - I’ve traveled all over the world and stayed in some incredible 5-star hotels, but nothing truly compares to this experience. From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel completely at home. I even ended up rearranging my trip just so I could stay here longer. The property is charming and beautifully maintained, with service that is second to none. The team goes above and beyond—whether it’s helping with activities in the area, arranging transportation, offering local specialties, or even having simple food options available for pickier eaters. The spa, located at the top of the grounds, is fantastic. I had a coffee scrub and massage that completely rejuvenated me after coming from the high altitude in Quito. When my friend wasn’t feeling well, they even prepared her a special tea—and she felt better the very next day. Meals on the balcony were unforgettable, surrounded by birds, butterflies, and the soothing sound of rainfall. The gentle, sweet property dog quickly became a highlight of our stay—we looked forward to seeing her every day. This place is a true gem. It’s close to town yet feels like a peaceful retreat. Stay as long as you can—you won’t want to leave! GREAT VALUE for the very reasonable price.
• Robert (10/5): - Amazing setting--spent hours bird watching from the deck (have you ever seen a Rufous Motmot?). Many local nature activities. Friendly, helpful staff that are into saying 'yes'. Birdwatching tours with David were outstanding.
• Paul (10/5): -
• eliya (10/5): Amazing - Truly amazing hotel Breakfast was perfect Service more then perfect Mindo is so amazing Enjoy ♥️
• Byron (10/5): -
• Amy (10/5): - I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was so perfect. We could see so many birds from our room, and they had binoculars to borrow. The staff was so helpful and kind. Our birding guide, Marcelo, was amazing. The room was really comfortable and the restaurant was great, too.
• Bonnie (10/5): Take a break and treat yourself!! You will not be disappointed! - Stunning location in Mindo. Each room and terrace were very private. Comfortable rooms and clean! The staff are some of the friendliest I have ever experienced. We were greeted by name each day. Very personable and accommodating. I can highly recommend Las Terrazas de Dana for a special getaway. I can’t say there was anything to dislike or be unhappy about.
• Daniela (9/5): Conectar con la naturaleza de la mejor forma - Gran ubicación, excelente servicio, comida deliciosa
• Manuela (10/5): Hermoso - La tranquilidad, Paz, la atención del personal, la seguridad y lo lindo de las instalaciones. Pasear alrededor fue increíble. Nos llevamos buena impresión de la gente de Mindo
• Anniek (10/5): - We kregen een upgrade omdat onze kamer niet beschikbaar was op de datums die we gewijzigd hadden. Dit was fantastisch: prachtig uitzicht en een enorm grote kamer
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional - everthing: staff amazing, location, room, food… came here 2020 during corona and now again: mantained xxl standards
• Miki (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful staff. Beautiful setting.
• Rosalinda (10/5): - Food in restaurant was just ok because steak was too chewy to sallow
• Maria Veronica (10/5): - Terrazas de Dana is magical. Family of four with special need kids, who also have severe food allergies. Extremely food allergy conscious. Immediately felt welcomed and relaxed. Rooms are super clean, comfortable and spacious. Food is delish and well priced. Ammenties are bountiful so hard to name them all but suffice to say they jade thought of everything, including binocs for bird watching, umbrellas for rainy days, coffee and tea stations, well lit pathways, etc. Property is gated/ safe and beautiful. Staff are super kind and patient and helpful. Words can’t describe how magically this place is.
• Diego (10/5): Exceptional -
• Santiago (10/5): - Excelente lugar para descansar, todo el personal es súper amable, nuestra habitación muy linda y limpia. Tiene una buena vista.
• ANDREW (10/5): - Loved staying here! The manager was super nice and greeted us with a warm welcome. Everyone at this boutique hotel was well trained and hospitable. The view from our room was incredible and I can't wait to come back to visit this hotel as well as the Cloud Forest again!
• Sadie (10/5): Bravo, we will return. - This is our 2nd stay at this hotel and we stayed 6 nights. Everything about the property makes it perfect for any traveller. Accommodation, food and the beautiful gardens, makes this hotel 2nd to none in Mindo. However, the thing that made this property a stand out for us, was the staff. The owner is gracious and helpful and his staff follow his lead. A big shout out to Marco who went above and beyond, and to the whole team who just couldn’t do enough for us. Safe to say we will return and highly recommend this little slice of heaven to all.
• DON (10/5): - Wonderful people excellent stay you will want to linger
• Evan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely breathtaking location. Phenomenal service. N/A
• Miguel (10/5): Perfect! - It’s close enough to the town but very private. Property is well kept. Staff is very polite. All you feel is peace and relaxation.
• Matthew (10/5): - Amazing staff and the view is incredible. I would go back. One of the best hotels i have been to
• Hinojosa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anika (10/5): Most enjoyable place in Ecuador - The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Nothing was too much trouble. They were thoughtful in their suggestions with our young family. The food was also really good! Nothing!
• Robin (10/5): The perfect Mindo retreat. - This is the perfect hotel to stay when in Mindo. David sets the tone with his helpful approach to every question and request. The set up Is wonderful - all aspects - room was a so spacious and comfortable. Food was sublime - are there each of the 3 nights we stayed. The whole Team were brilliant! Nothing.
• Edgar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carolyn (10/5): A most fantastic hotel in a stunning area run by wonderful people we now consider to be friends. - We arrived at this wonderful hotel on 19th April 2024. Because of my own stupidity of wearing unsuitable shoes I slipped on a bit of grass on the 20th April and broke my ankle. The staff could not have been more helpful. The hotel owner David, manager Marco, and all the team at Las Terrazas were magnificent in how caring and kind they were. They arranged trips to local viewing points that didn't involve any walking so I could still see and photograph the wonderful hummingbirds, toucans, tanagers and other beautiful birds and local wildlife. I was trying to raise the ankle and rest as much as possible, so the balcony of our King Suite Room was a perfect retreat and we saw and photographed so many beautiful birds from there as well, in the sun and the rain! All the rooms look out onto this wonderful environment with birds and stunning scenery all around. The way the hotel is landscaped is fantastic with so many beautiful plants attracting a plethora of butterflies and birds. The staff were very happy to bring food to our room to save me hobbling downstairs, provided ice for the ankle constantly and pillows to raise it at night. Everyone we met at Terrazas were kind and helpful. The food was excellent and the breakfasts plentiful, including local food with almost all being home made including a carrot and pineapple jam! We liked everything about this hotel - the food, service, the environment and most of all the staff and people who run the hotel. Nothing
• Barbara (10/5): Exceptional - This place is magical. Everything was perfect. The only thing is no air conditioning. But I loved it so much!
• Claudio (8/5): Very good -
• Cecilia (9/5): Superb -
• Steven (10/5): Luxury in the heart of Mindo - Amazing. Please stay here, you’ll love it. I don’t want to share all of the little things that they do so well so that you can be surprised when you get there, but this is an absolutely lovely place to stay. You won’t be disappointed by the service or the facility. There is nothing not to like about this amazing place
• Karen (10/5): Excellent - A fabulous property - so comfortable and attention to detail is faultless. The nicest host and friendly staff made it a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended
• David (10/5): Simply Excellent - Loved the location, the views and welcome from staff
• tim (10/5): - Beautiful hotel and grounds with wonderful views off our back deck. The 2 person jetted tube was just what was needed after a day long hiking treks. Friendly and professional staff and we enjoyed a very good dinner on site and the included breakfast had several options and you can choose all you wish to eat.
• Edgar (10/5): Exceptional - Everything the owner and staff are amazing , customer service to the highest . The message lady Martha is one of the best . Everything was perfect
• Alvaro (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to rest, to walk, to breathe, and read
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dirk (10/5): Very Good Hotel ;-) - We stayed at Las Terrazas de Dana for 4 nights. It is a real oasis! Our room with the terrace was very nice. The garden is beautifully landscaped and you can watch hummingbirds and other beautiful birds from your own terrace. The breakfast is rich and delicious. David is very helpful and friendly. Marco and Freddy are also always concerned about the well-being of the guests. The whole staff is very friendly. We had also booked a bird tour through David. The tour with our guide Natalie was very good. We were able to see many birds. David also arranged cab transportation to the airport for us. The cab ride was pleasant and relaxing. We would definitely book this accommodation again and can only recommend it.
• Edgar (10/5): Exceptional - The staff and the owner was amazing made us feel very welcoming .
• Chris (10/5): Must stay place in Ecuador. - Amazing service. Marcos and his staff are absolutely professional, helpful, and fantastic. The facilities are beautiful and relaxing. The food was delicious and delightful. What more can I say! Nothing. Wish we could have stayed longer.
• Ruiz (9/5): Superb -
• James (10/5): Wonderful experience for our 18 yr old daughter visiting the first time. - The food was fantastic. You can get a traditional Ecuadorian breakfast with fresh juice. The hotel was set in the cloud forest with beautiful views of the mountains. We all went to the spa for various treatments and sat by the pool. All excursions are easy to get to by taxi.
• Pablo (10/5): - Beautiful property in a quiet, rural, private area of rainforest,
• Josephine (10/5): - This is a hidden gem. With easy access to all the activities in Mindo, this little resort has it all. When you arrive you are warmly greeted and the staff is eager to help make your stay memorable. The rooms are luxurious and the offer incredible views of the cloud forest. The food is incredible, the pool is gorgeous, and the surrounding environment is breathtaking. I can't wait to go back.
• Ds (9/5): Superb -
• William (10/5): A lovely hotel with an exceptionally kind staff located in paradise. - The staff and views were incredible
• Heather (8/5): - Staff are terrific; Marco was so friendly and accommodating and kind. Pool was lovely (that's one of the reasons we chose this hotel). Dinner food was just ok -- and overpriced for Ecuador. Private terrace off the room was serene. Just be sure to bring mosquito/bug repellent; you'll need it. Cost of hotel is really high for Ecuador and as a result, all the guests we met seemed to be American. One small complaint: The cleaning solution used is really strong and chemical-smelling (but the room and grounds are immaculate!); And I can't say enough good about the staff.
• Shawn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (10/5): - This was such a lovely place stay! I usually don’t leave reviews, but everything here was wonderful from the incredibly helpful and friendly staff, to the meals, to the rooms/property. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Mindo!
• Tillmann (10/5): BEST accommodation in Mindo - This is one of the best hotels we stayed ever. Marco is super kind, helpful and very passionate about this place and everyone that is coming there. If you go to Mindo you HAVE to stay there! The pool area is very nice, the food is delicious, it‘s even in walking distance to the city center and the cable car to do some great hikes. Marco will also support you planning your days.
• Phil (6/5): Nice property but payment issues - My son reported that the property was of good comfortable standard with nice views. I booked this stay on behalf of my son and paid on Booking.com. I later found out payment for only 1 of the 3 nights had been taken, and did not want my son to have to pay the balance. I asked the property and they said I would either have to risk sending my passport and credit card details to them, or my son would have to pay. I contacted booking.com in order resolve this. They made one attempt and did not resolve it. I made a further request which was ignored. There was nothing in the booking which suggested only part payment would be taken. I was trying to pay booking.com / the property and neither helped me. Not happy.
• Julie (10/5): A perfect place to stay. - It was a perfect hotel customer service from Marcos was outstanding and the place was beautiful. An amazing location. nothing we could not fault anything.
• Nicole (10/5): - The views were incredible, the room was lovely, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. This was a fantastic experience!!!
• Katie (10/5): Exceptional -
• DANIL (10/5): - Great place to stay in Mindo
• Weigen (10/5): Exceptional - This is one of the best hotel. The room is clean, spacious with free parking. The view is great. Marco the manager is the best manager of the hotels we have ever stayed. The breakfast was excellent. The birds are everywhere. David, the owner is very helpful. Highly recommended. no
• Jackie (10/5): A Private Paradise - The rooms are large and the large window looks out at the beautiful gardens. I wish I had more time to stay longer.
• Jennifer (10/5): lovely oasis - This place is such a lovely and peaceful oasis. You can sit on your balcony and watch hundreds(maybe even thousands) of hummingbirds flitting about. You can also see many other birds, including toucans, right from your balcony. We went birding one morning w/ a guide in the cloud forest, and while it was a neat experience, we saw way more birds right from our balcony at the hotel. The food is also really good here, which I did not find to be the case in Ecuador in general. The owner and employees are lovely and helpful, and the two friendly resident dogs are an added treat. We really loved EVERYTHING at this place. If I wanted to be nitpicky, I would say that there was an area sort of behind the hotel that is semi-hidden, but still in view, that is filled w/ construction detritus and trash. It would be ideal if that area was more well hidden.
• Jacobson (10/5): Fabulous views, fabulous service - Beautiful scenery. Spacious and clear room. Excellent hospitality- breakfast and dinner were brought to our room. Just a excellent experience!
• Corey (10/5): - This is a very special place. The staff is lovely and really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Mindo is beautiful. From Las Terrazas we were able to walk to the waterfall chairlift, the butterfly house, the tubing operation, the ziplines, etc… It is the perfect combination of remote and convenient. The restaurant is fantastic, the prices are great. I really can’t recommend this place highly enough!
• Valerie (10/5): Truly an experience of a lifetime - This place is amazing, the bungalow was very clean and spacious with a lovely terrace overlooking the mountains with humming birds and toucans in the garden and the sound of the river below. This is the great for nature, bird watching and enjoying delicious local fine dining. We stayed longer than expected as it was such a lovely experience. David and Anna and their staff are fantastic hosts, they can not do enough for you to make the whole experience a welcome memory that will last a lifetime. Tours are available from this accommodation so no need to book any in advance, it’s a short stroll from the town but far enough away for that total natural experience. If you are in Ecuador visit Mindo and see for yourselves.
• Isidor (10/5): Wonderful place - Place is beautifully located in the rainforest 5 minutes out of town...nice large room with great bathroom...only issue bugs and mosquitos...ownets great folk excellent food
• Eric (10/5): - Excellent accommodations with amazing views. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Rooms have a private deck where you can birdwatching from.
• Stephanie (10/5): - Beautiful setting- the pictures don’t do it justice. Very attentive and helpful staff, and the owner Ana drove us to the bus herself. We loved our stay here
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hermosa locación y contacto con la naturaleza
• Yuval (10/5): Absolutely fabulous - Amazing experience. Staff and premises were top notch and also food in the restaurant. Highly highly recommend staying there while in mindo. Thank you David and all the great employees.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Charming boutique hotel with great personalized service. Cabins are roomy and very clean with a lovely deck.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I can’t say enough good things about my stay at Dana over the past few days. The bungalows are spacious, immaculately clean. And so well-designed. The view from our mountain facing bungalow was breathtaking. David is an absolute prince and his staff truly the best. My partner coordinated a romantic few days for my birthday and not only did they hell by decorating the room in flower petals and delicious chocolates, they went as far as preparing a cake for us. Speaking of food- the culinary experience is 10/10. My favorite part would have had to be having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Andes mountains. I can’t say enough about this place!
• Peggy (10/5): The best - I can’t talk enough about this resort - the service was incredible - the grounds beautiful with amazing foliage. I wish we could have stayed weeks
• Daemian (10/5): Lovely stay in Mindo - Lovely room and hosts were excellent. Breakfast in the room balcony was very nice as well!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Ana, David and their whole staff were welcoming and provided excellent service. The views and property are gorgeous. The sounds of the forest were so relaxing. We must return one day.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The Chalet it self was great as mentioned on the Expedia site. The staff are very accommodating, sensitive & friendly. The breakfast & dinner meals were great.
