Great food, awesome environment, and friendly stadf

Cabin was great and owners very friendly and helpful, thanks!!

Highly recommend

Beautiful place to stay. They set out food for birds, so every morning at breakfast there are beautiful birds to observe. One of the owners, Maria, works so hard to make sure everything is perfect. She speaks English well and tries to make her guests happy with their stay. She answers all the Whats app messages, checks people in to the hotels, helps serve breakfast, and helps clean the rooms. She is on top of everything. She doesn't have any problem calling taxis either. The pool was refreshing and clean. You can walk a few minutes down to the river and there are picnic tables there.

Muy recomendable!!!

Lindo lugar...excelente servicio....creo que la segunda habitacion que ocupamos necesita cambio de colchones.

Garden Getaway

Lovely property tucked away in a beautiful garden and forested area near the river, just a two minute drive from downtown Mindo. Great value for the price paid, nice breakfast included. The hosts are excellent communicators before, during and after your stay. Rooms are kept very clean, serviced daily, and are nicely appointed. The mattress on my bed wasn’t as comfortable as I had hoped it would be. The stairs to the upper floor rooms where we stayed are steep but doable. Would absolutely stay here again.

The staff was wonderful they helped book outings and even help us get a doctor because of daughter was sick and brought things to cabin to help us . The meals were delicious and we were in awe of the beautiful setting and how diligent care in the garden only helped this

A little piece of heaven in Mindo, Ecuador. The property is beautiful! It is easy to see and feel the love put into everything at Mindo Real. Maria greeted me, and told me about different things I could do on the property, the pools which were very inviting, a covered area with hammocks, trails, a beautiful walk to the river. The rooms are clean and lovely, big windows that when left open amplified the sounds of birds, frogs, bugs and? nothing else but nature. There was a big open patio outside my 2nd floor room where I could sit outside, relax, and enjoy the views. My first walk back from town, I realized how very special the grounds at Mindo Real are. The driveway is long with beautiful plants and flowers lining it. On that 1st walk back I saw Yellow Tanagers, hummingbirds, and even an Agouti. Breakfast was so good. Fresh fruit, eggs, something fried with cheese, bread, and marmalade that I shared with a Golden Bellied Flycatcher each morning. I can't forget the Loja coffee, hot and black. There were hummingbirds, butterflies, and other birds all around. Anything I needed help with was quickly addressed, an extra blanket, a taxi, all I had to do was ask. Maria even purchased time for my sim card when she went to town the morning after she spent an hour the night before trying, I paid her afterwards.There was a state of emergency with curfews when I was there. I never felt unsafe in Mindo or at Mindo Real Lodge, day or night. I am 66 and was traveling alone.

A little walk to city center.place is quite and clean, Internet is good.ans Maria at the one that took care of us in all we asked was superbe.

Is quiet and safe, close to town.

we were greeted as soon as we stopped the car and were given a choice of rooms, breakfast was extremely good, the coffee excellent,the weather was wet but we still found local things to do. Highly recommended for quiet and peaceful days,nonight life nearby, suited us perfect.

The property was excellent. Large expansive campus, with each cabin secluded, private and quiet. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was incredible. The cabin was roomy enough for the three of us, very clean and neat.

I will stay here again, beautiful and peaceful stay. Breakfast was delicious

The property was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. We loved the breakfast too!

Perfect location by airport. Free shuttle. Clean and friendly. Nice restaurant.

In beautiful rainforest

Beautiful location and rural grounds. Excellent birding opportunity for someone coming from outside of Ecuador. Many species I was not able to identify but, note worthy common, easy to spot species were:

Perfect stay in Mindo

My stay here was perfect, quiet and beautiful place with friendly owners. Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful spot! The pool was lovely, and the property was gorgeous--many flowers and colorful birds. The room was clean and well-maintained, the breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the family who run the hotel are very welcoming. We recommend it!

A fantastic family owned hotel - loved it here!

Looking for a place in Mindo - stay here! I don’t think we’ve ever come across a more helpful hotel owner and staff. We had to move our booking a couple of times because of illness and that was all AOK. The owner was constantly making sure we had everything we wanted , clean towels for the pool or room, plenty of drink8ng water. Really generous and tasty breakfasts. The hotel is a 10 minute walk out of town and has amazing gardens and a lovely pool. Everywhere is really clean, all the public areas etc. The room was a good basic standard and had a nice hot shower. Bed was comfortable. When we left the owner phoned an English speaking friend at our next destination to get advice on where was good to stay. We really loved our 3 night stay here

Lots of plants and animals to view in their environment. While beautiful, it does seem the area is overgrown and could use a 'trim' of vegetation - at least in/around the walkways and public traffic areas. The staff were very kind and helpful - good, 'hefty' (and tasty!) breakfast to keep going all day. Very nice family-run place - with a bit more landscaping maintenance and some touch-ups in the rooms, it would be a nice mid-level corporate retreat (they have a great meeting space that was not utilized during our stay).
