The staff made us a lovely fire to keep the room warm and brought us hot water bottles for the night. This place is a gem, would love to go back! Had a little cabin with a gorgeous park view: wow! read less

Conversations with him are a highlight of a visit. The numerous public areas provide comfortable 1950s overstuffed furniture and plenty of delightful artistic surprises. The dining room offers interesting foods supported by an extensive kitchen garden and excellent English-speaking service. Building exteriors include intriguing carved columns, panels and doors and eclectic traditional and modern wall paintings. The gardens seem endless and feature both spectacular design and an impressive array of orchids and bromeliads as well as some very friendly llamas and plenty of birds. The stables provide day and overnight horse treking as well as animals for amusement and the table. You'll feel like you walked into the pages of a Graham Greene novel as a very important character. If the atmosphere enchants you and you want to stay, long term rentals and condominium houses are also available. A magical experience. read less

Restaurant generally very good although with a couple of lapses. Plenty of choice for drinks, although on the expensive side. Staff friendly and generally very good. Wifi (reasonably fast) only in certain areas.

The place itself is worth a half day just to explore and the ladies on reception can arrange tours or give advice on where to go (the Saturday market in Otavalo is a 'must see', much better than the usual tourist oriented affairs)

Overall, a little out of the ordinary and that makes it worth a stay. read less
