Travelling around Ecuador, we stayed in many different accommodations, Zaysant was our first stop and by far our favourite. It's a perfect place to acclimatize after arriving. The grounds are beautiful, nature and animals, hammocks yeah, the rooms arecomfortable and unqiue, the steam room worked wonders, the food is greatand the family is wonderful. I left feeling like I had a new family. I can't say anything negative about Zaysant. I honestly could have stayed with them for a month. I will be back one day.

We stayed for 2 nights in a wonderfull bungalow, just as seen in the pictures. The grounds are beautiful. It is a very relaxing and calming place. The host was friendly and assisted us in arranging the tours and activities we wanted to do. The included breakfast was delicious. For a small fee they did most of our laundry. WiFi is available in the common areas.

Reviewed By Sightseer642239

We spent 3 weeks at Rukka and used it as a base to travel. The room was comfortable, the staff friendly and the restaurants and gardens were good. There was no reception and very little English spoken. We had family locally to help us as this wasn’t a possibility from the hotel staff.

Hamadryade Lodge

Hamadryade Lodge is a luxurious hotel located in the High Amazon region, near Puerto Misahualli. This ecosystem, even if it is still the Amazonian Rainforest, is very different that the one in Lower regions. We are at 500mts altitude with hills and small mountains. Therefore, the climate remains pleasant all year round (24°C in average), and the absence of swamps allows an easier access to the more remote zones of Primary Rainforest, and of course the most positive consequence, is that we do not suffer from the presence of mosquitoes and Malaria.

So much potential, but disappointing

Reviewed By amandamM4640UM

The website doesn’t paint an accurate picture of what to expect, especially for travelers who have stayed in what are touted as luxury jungle resorts in the past. I’ll start with the pros: 1. The kitchen/check-in staff are LOVELY. Incredibly warm and friendly. They tend to the day-to-day duties of the property, including preparing the meals, which were actually some of the best we had in Ecuador. They spoke very little English, just as an FYI. My husband (who can speak Spanish at an elementary level) frequently had to translate for other guests, but I would just suggest to download translation apps before visiting if no one in your party is semi fluent. 2. Lovely pool area with hammocks. 3. Villa #5 (the larger two bedroom) has bathrooms that open to the outside, fostering a wonderful immersive jungle shower feel! But the cons… 1. The resort’s descriptions for their myriad experiences aren’t realistic. For us personally, we never saw the advertised flora and fauna (which we get you can never guarantee wildlife), but we literally never saw anything beyond a small bird the entire time we were there (3 nights), and the resort touts monkeys, brightly hued tree frogs, snakes, toucans, parrots, etc. No other guest we talked to saw anything either - not on the night walk, parrot tour, full-day jungle trek, etc. Again, this could’ve been bad luck, but we also did a reflexology treatment which was a light foot massage (I’ve had wonderful reflexology treatments in Sedona, Thailand, et al), so I feel like everything from their list of experiences was pulled from marketing speak that doesn’t actually represent what you’re getting. 2. The rooms, while beautiful, were weathered. The screens had numerous holes that allowed all the stinging bugs to make their way through. We had a giant lizard friend one night; super cool, yes, but it made me wonder what other crawlers were behind him! (*caveat: I was not upset about the lizard. It’s the jungle, lol, and I understand that bugs are a part of the experience. I just think the relative price and the way the hotel presents itself doesn’t prepare guest for this.) 3. Finally, this was a personal experience (and I can’t stand when Trip Advisor users implore people lot to stay because of hyper specific experiences they had that probably won’t affect anyone else), but I was disappointed with the way the resort handled it, which I think is important to tell. There are five villas - 4 one-bedrooms and 1 two-bedroom - and my husband and I booked the two-bed as we loved the look and layout - two story, bathrooms that opened to the outside, super secluded at the far end of the property. It, obviously, was much more expensive. We paid 50% at booking, then when we arrived, we were taken to a one-bedroom. I asked the staff and showed them my confirmed booking, and was told I would need to wait until the GM got in later that night. When she did, she told me that the two-bedroom villa was booked for the remainder of my stay. On day two, she told me that we could in fact move to the larger villa, but it would be late, prob 9 pm. We finally got a call around 11:40pm that we could move. That was fine, but when we checked out, we saw they charged us the higher rate for that night. Technically fair, since we did sleep in the room that night, but after all our trouble and the extremely late hour we got access to the room (check in is at 4), it seemed a bit tacky. Long review, but to summarize, it’s not as nice as it’s website leads on. If you’re cool with that, great, but there are so many other truly wonderful places in Ecuador that won’t leave you wanting.

Cosy scenic house

Reviewed By 998willisp

Luis is extremely nice and helpful, his wife and him are also cook extremely well (we had a delicious dinner by the fireplace). The house is very cosy and the lake view is great (we had the family room). Luis helped us with the “to do” and taxi booking (yet it might be easier to have a car to reach the property and go around). Overall very nice stay, but too short (one night). One could find the roasters noisy in the morning, but it is part of the charm of a house outside of town!

I loved my stay here, the owner is so friendly and helpful and the location can’t be beat. I had a beautiful view of the ocean from my terrace and there are tons of bars and restaurants steps away. Wifi was as good as can be on the island and my room was clean and comfortable. I was impressed with the bedding and bath linens. A/C worked well too. The owner was beyond helpful in booking my ferry and tours as well.

El lugar es hermoso pero la chimenea del cuarto estaba mal hecha, no la pudimos usar porque se llena la habitación de humo. El menu es extremadamente limitado, no cambia, se acaban los platos y no hay variedad. El tiempo de servido es super largo. The place is beautiful but the fireplace was poorly made, the room got full of smoke the first day so we couldnt use it. The menu is extremely limited, doesnt change, and they run out of stuff.

Reviewed By elizabethkM5046OD

I stayed at this inn for 3 months during my study abroad program and the owners and staff were so friendly and kind to us! They made us feel like we had a new family there and I would definitely go back. The hostel staff also always cleaned our rooms very thouroughly. The hostel is so cute, with a sunny yellow and white theme, lots of garden spaces and flowers, a pool, and a waterslide. It also has an open grassy back lawn, where they are able to host large events, and always decorate the hostel beautifully! As it is outside of Quito, the air is fresh and clean and there aren't city noises so it is very tranquil, so we almost always got a good nights sleep. There is also a beautiful view of Pichincha and Quito from the upstairs balcony from which you can watch the sunset over the city in the distance.
