Originally we planned to stay by the airport but changed our minds at the last minute to stay here. It was a highlight of our trip. Planning in advance the hotel responded to all of my emails same day which was appreciated. They arranged for a driver to pick us up at Quito airport. We were in a group of 3 adults so our suite was very nice and roomy. Decorated hacienda style with comfortable beds, authentic wool bed comforters, blankets etc. At turn down they put hot water bottles in the beds which are wonderful. Our suite did not have a fireplace, but it was still nice, warm and cozy. The room had a nice seating area and nice size bath. We stayed 2 nights and ate dinner at the hotel both nights. The food was very good with a nice selection. They have a special with courses you can order so it includes everything. We thought the food was fair priced. The service in the dining and bar area are very good. The bartender made me a Caprinia which I highly recommend. The guys in our group ordered the guinea pig and it is quite the presentation! (order in advance) Breakfast is hearty and very good also. If there is 1 food group I'd recommend in Equador, its the fruit. The fresh juices at breakfast are really good....

Everyone at this hotel is very professional thoughtful and courteous. A highlight for us was the tour the hotel arranged for us. I asked for a taxi to take us to a few local tourist attractions. We got the most amazing tour by Christian, a local tour guide. He showed us the "authentic side" of the Otavalo area and we had a great day. It was way above and beyond our expectations! I highly recommend Christian and his tour. He designed the whole tour and it was wonderfully creative. He took us to a couple of local eateries and hand craftsman shops in nearby towns while touring the countryside.The grounds of this hotel are a bit of paradise. Romantic sprawling vines of bouganvilla, blooming salvia with hummingbirds everywhere! The hotel is decorated with some amazing artwork and antiques. You can tell the owners are really passionate about this place. I highly recommend taking a walk thru the gardens and explore. Its really a special place. Our room had a nice small outdoor seating area and it was nice to open the doors to a view of a beautiful garden. In the evening we sat by the fire in the library which was so nice. We met people from everywhere and everyone anxious to share their travel itineraries in Equador. There is also a spa, but we were not able to take advantage of it. The hotel also has maps/guides of hiking trails and there is plenty to do in the area. The second day we spent the morning visiting the Otavalo Market. This is close to the hotel and quite a bit of fun. if your wanting to get authentic crafts from the area, the tour Christian took us on really is your best bet. There is also a store in Quito called "Olga Fische" which has the most beautiful crafts from all over Equador. Highly recommend it. I can see why people return to Hacienda Cusin year after year. Its really a very special spot and you will really enjoy it. Equador is a wonderful country. More read less

One feels thrown back to times of tradition, when whole families and their helpers worked the land while maintaining gorgeous gardens and a pious life in the monastery.
The four-course lunch was excellent and reasonably priced, and the service fine and full of knowledge of the history of the place. A true step into history.
I was sorry we couldn’t stay over, I wish I could come back for several days and feel suspended in time. More read less
