We stayed at CasKaffeSu for 4 days, one more than we had planned, because we really enjoyed not just Mindo but also Luis´ and Susan´s wonderful hotel. They are warm and super helpful. The food is excellent. The hotel itself is a work of art -- most unusual and quite lovely. Beautiful garden, clean and simple but sweet rooms (the... More

Wanted to stay here on advice from trip advisor. Called on a Sunday. The person on the phone said that there was only one room available for one night. Kinda hard to believe when Mindo was like a ghost town the entire three days I was there. I also went by the restaurant in the evening which was empty. The... More

Caskaffesu is owned and operated by an American expatriate and her Ecuadoran husband. Both are excellent hosts and English speaking. It is located in the center of the small town of Mindo, itself located in a prime clould forest recreation area. The rooms are quite comfortable and there is a small courtyard at the center, but it is the restaurant... More

I stayed in CasKaffeSu for 4 nights in November 2011. The owner, Susan arranged a bird guide in advance to pick me up in Quito and bird the back road over to Mindo, what a fantastic day birding with Julia and her husband Franklin. The food was good in the restaurant, and after early morning bird trips the restaurant and... More

We stayed three nights in Nov. 2011. Couldn't have been nicer (except wish they offered breakfast!) A beautiful courtyard is full of plants, flowers and humming birds and a roof terrace offers a place to sit and watch life in Mindo go by below on the street. Food in the restaurant was fine. The US/Ecuadorian owners are always around and... More

My fiance and I, and our two travel friends stayed for 3 nights in November of 2009. We enjoyed a nice dinner outside at CasKaffeSu (I had the fish) and some breakfasts on the patio. Our room was in one of the buildings upstairs behind the lobby and was a little spartan, but comfortable, large, with a nice bathroom through... More

The place was medicore, the owners came across pretenious, and the food was not good. They took my order wrong and didn't offer to bring me what I had ordered and charged me the extra money that was the difference. I expected that there would be bugs wherever I was in ecuador, but I got the biggest bugs in my... More

This small hotel is terrific --in most ways, it feels like home.. One problem is the place feels like a very short-stay place due to no closets in rooms at all and no comfy chairs or even hammocks in the common spaces. I stayed 7 nights, enjoyed Mindo activities but I did not feel esp welcome after 2-3 nights.The hosts... More

Hotel Caskaffesu, which took me quite a while to pronounce and recall the name, is a very nice smaller hotel in Mindo. Owned by an Ecuadorian and his American wife, Susan, there are very reasonably priced, clean rooms with hot water and private bathrooms arranged around a pretty courtyard right in the center of town. Their restaurant serves very fresh,... More
