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.

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.

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 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).

Tranquil Mindo retreat
LOVED this place!!! It was a really easy walk from town and felt like you were stepping into another world. It is beautiful. We stayed in a cabin, which was quaint, comfortable, and clean. Slept to the sound of the river. The property is gorgeous and we had an amazing breakfast that included eggs, toast, fruit, cheese empanada, fresh juice and coffee. I wanted to stay! Pool was cool and clean .
