We have eaten or stayed at Mindo Garden 3 times over the past 7 years, with the most recent being a stay there in March 2012. For me, Mindo Garden represents the true Mindo experience for the following reasons: Firstly, is the location. Yes, it is 4km out of Mindo town but this is actually a good thing. The town... More

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

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. The ride is interesting ... roads aren't the most reliable and oftentimes are blocked by slides if there are rains. However, our trip... More

I just came back from Mindo Gardens and I do not have anything bad to say about this place. Perhaps because I knew what to expect. The roads to get to this lodge are not in a good condition and actually you will find a lot of holes... but again I was not sorprise. The service was SUPER, Elena, Gregorio... More

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
