My wife and I spent 4 nights here and loved it. It's important to note that this is sort of Amazon light. It's not in the middle of wilderness. That's both good and not so good. It's good because the lodge is easy to get to but the quality of the road by the lodge has also led to increasing development. I can foresee a time in the next 10 years when the lodge will get squeezed out by the development around it. If you want to see capybaras troming through streams or macaws overhead, you need to go further into the jungle.

Our accommodations were quite comfortable. We were fine with the lack of electricity, the bats making noise outside our hut and the occassional bug inside the cabin. This is the Amazon afterall! We enjoyed the food and found the quantify more than sufficient. The staff was wonderful.

By far, the highlight of our stay was spending three days with Alfredo, a Quichua guide who took us to some fantastic places, showed us the secrets of the rainforest and was an absolute gentleman.

This place is not for folks who aren't a little adventurous or have mobility issues, nor is it a place for people who expect absolute certainty and perfect punctuality. The meals are on time but sometimes the trips are thrown together depending on weather, river conditions and which guests are around.

Our tour group stayed here for three nights. Most of us had complaints about the place. We didn't expect luxury in the Amazonian jungle, but this place definitely needs improvement.

The cabins were at a distance from the main building along poorly-lit gravel paths. Since there was no electricity in the cabins, we were given kerosene lanterns, but they were not very effective, except to illuminate the crawling and flying creatures that shared our dwelling. (Yes, there were screens, but the insects got in anyway.) We did have a nice view of the river from the balcony off our room.

Our cabin was above one other, and we clearly could hear the couple below us talking, even though they were just using conversational tones. The couple asked us to remove our shoes (which were rubber-soled) because they heard us walking on the floor (their ceiling).

The bathroom was large, and two big, thick towels were provided (no hand towels). You had your choice of water temperature in the big shower -- scalding or freezing. Actually, ir wasn't a choice, as the temperature changed randomly from one to the other. The bathroom sink didn't have this problem, as it only had cold water.

There was a computer in the main building for the use of guests and a place to charge the many electronic items that people travel with these days: laptops, phones, shavers, cameras, etc.

The staff was accommodating, and made it possible to maintain the special dietary requirements of our group.

Although the thatched cottages were what we expected the food was not. We were very disappointed with the quality of food it was just warm and was not appetising , coffee and tea were only offered at breakfast time. The staff well, they were pleasant enough but we had to show them our itinerary as they had know idea which tours we should be on. And the dreadful cold shower, I had three of them before the problem was sorted. All in all yes wonderful position right by the Napo river but would not recommend because of the food

We stayed there 2 nights and really enjoied a wonderful place, great employees, fun day trips. very very good food (the best we had in Ecuador) and all of that in the middle of the jungle.
We really think it was very wise going there.
