We had a really nice time at Mindo Garden. It is a bit out of town, secluded along the river. The property consists of several cabins with three or so rooms in each cabin. Most of the cabins are positioned right along the river, and I found the rushing river to be very relaxing. Slept great there. The rooms are... More

is a good hotel, in the average. the food is great, is a little far from the mindo downtown, you will need a taxi. the rooms are cabins (well.. our cabin have 3 rooms) . One thing i am no sure, i think at night all the staff go home and the guest are by themselves because all day we... More

Attractive rustic accommodations in a beautiful natural setting with access to some of the best bird watching in Ecuador. Comfortable cabins are placed in the well-landscaped grounds to optimize privacy, and yet all are within a short walk of the lodge and dining area. You can be as active or lazy as you wish. Good menu options with an emphasis... More

We stayed at Mindo Gardens having opted for a pick up as well from Quito (we spent the night there); they picked us up at the bed and breakfast and Quito and drove us up to Mindo.

Since the public transportation options to the lodge were sketchy, we opted to be picked up in Quito (2 hour ride) and brought to the lodge. The road to from Quito to Mindo is through green mountains and hovers over deep ravines, making you want to look (or not look) at the dramatic plunges to the valleys below. Once at... More

We stayed at Mindo Garden for one night on our recent trip. This place has such potential, but we left not sure what to make of it.. The positives: - beautiful setting, quiet and relaxing - cabins are basic but more than adequate - hot water in the bathroom - cabin was clean - the gentleman that was working in... More

My husband and I went here for a night to get away from the city. It was amazingly quiet, relaxing and comfortable. The restaurant is nice with good food and the staff very helpful. I am hoping we can get back here. For the area it is not cheap, but if you are looking for more comfort in a jungle... More
