I really enjoyed the lodge, quirky decor and setting. Very attentive owner and pleasant staff. We stayed in Room 13, a very small room and bathroom, but suitable for our short stay. The grounds are well maintained, fresh fruit feeder and hummingbird feeders on the property provide up close views of local birds. The pool area was very nice and if the weather was warmer, we would have used.
I only have a couple of suggestions to help improve room 13.
1. Add another rack/shelf in bathroom for towels and to place toiletries.
2. There is no place to put the shampoo and soap in the shower except the floor, add a soap/shampoo holder to the shower head.
3. Screen in windows so you can enjoy the fresh air otherwise the windows must be used due to misquitoes will come in at night.
4. A ceiling fan would help to move the air when the windows are closed.
I would stay there again and recommend the lodge to friends and family. Our short stay of 2 nights was a wonderful way to relax after a fast paced group tour of Ecuador.
We had our own car, you would need transportation to the town of Mindo from the lodge.
