I’ve chosen the title “Home away from home” because of the wonderful friendliness of all the staff. At the end of our 8 day stay it was more like leaving old friends than just saying farewell to hotel staff and management. Apart from this, the wonderful view from our room was across the valley to the mountains, our terrace surrounded by bushes or trees that attracted a variety of birds. It had a large comfortable bed, remarkably quiet nights and a decent size bathroom. Dinner prices are on the high side for Ecuador, but in return you may find that you are alone, or sharing the evening terrace with just one other couple, appreciating the view, the boutique brewery German style beer and excellent food. The Manager, Marco, and owner, David, were unfailingly charming and helpful. The only negative was that, although the lavatory had its own wooden door, the bathroom had no door, so that light from the outside pathways filtered into the bedroom, not strongly, but it took a little getting used to. Everything else was perfect. Mindo was an excellent base for birding, with a variety of habitats within 90 minutes and some of the best birding within half an hour. Lad Terrazas de Dana was the ideal base from which operate.
