Our two night stay at Casa Divina was excellent in every way. Co-owner Efrain, a suberb naturalist and birder, and a driver picked us up at our hotel in Quito, and we spent the day hiking, enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking photographs of birds and the mountain vistas en route to the lodge. What a surprise! The lodge and... more

My husband and I travelled with my brother and his wife to a lovely spot off the beaten path. The lodge was hand built by Efra, the owner and the luxurous amenities in the cabins are such a surprise! Spacious bathrooms with endlesss hot water, a porch with rocker and hammock add to the beautiful hand crafted woodwork throughout the... more

My wife and I were looking to make the most of the stunning biodiversity of the Mindo area just prior to a galapagos trip and were considering staying at Tandayapa lodge when I discovered Casa Divina's excellent reviews on trip advisor. On contacting them I was impressed from the offset, and soon had arranged accomodation for three nights, and booked... more

Wow - let's just say we were crying the day we had to leave Casa Divina. Molly and Efrain run one of the most beautiful jungle retreats we've ever stayed at (and we've been to several). The amenities are 5 star, and this is the only place in Mindo with reliable 24/7 electricity, hot water, and they run their own... more

We had the pleasure of staying with Efrain and Molly (and their 2 delightful daughters) while birding in Mindo. Everthing about the place suited us perfectly - quiet, really friendly, excellent food, spotlessly clean and tastefully appointed. We used it as a base while Efrain took us on trips to spot the most amazing variety of birds - (our favourites... more

My husband and I spent three nights at Casa Divina in May, and it was a truly amazing experience. The cabins were perfect: new, clean, spacious, and unique; the wood floors were gorgeous. The birding and nature hikes were outstanding, but the food was the highlight. The best in Ecuador! Each meal was better than the next. Owners Molly and... more

My husband and I spent three nights here in March. Molly was a super resouce prior to our arrival. Having never travelled in Ecuador, we had plenty of pre-arrival questions and she patiently answered them all. She also arranged for a driver for us from the Quito airport to the lodge. That got us off to a great start. Our... more

My husband & I stayed here at the end of April. Even though on both our hikes it rained, it didn't dampen the beauty of it all. It helped that we were able to get our clothes (and shoes) washed & dried. Molly & Efrain are wonderful hosts. The guided hikes by Efrain were awesome - he knows his stuff... more

i stayed here with my boyfriend on my second trip to Mindo. The property is WONDERFUL. The cabañas are adorable and very private because they are set back into the cloud forest. They do not rent out both floors of the cabañas to separate parties so it a great romantic escape. The food that Molly makes is fantastic. She varies... more
