A lovely resort with unique thermal-springs pools. The nature walk up the valley was an easy hike and had a spectacular variety of flowers, ferns and other vegetation. (It becomes a very rigorous hike if you continue up the valley and into the mountains.) Having thermal pools in the courtyard, next to the cabins, was really nice, in addition to the formal thermal-spring spa area. I had only one massage, but it was very nice and reasonably priced.

I love going to spas but they are usually out of reach because of cost. This spa was wonderful- and within my budget! It is certainly a bit out of the way- but for a geologist like me, the ride was spectacular. Stepping out of your room into a thermal pool is my idea of relaxation. Food at the restaurant was great- we had grilled steak our last night there- and it was cooked perfectly. My friend and I went to Otovalo next, so we took a taxi for $20 to Pifo ( not going back to Quito at all) and caught the cooperativa Cita bus for $3 each. The front desk at the Spa was helpful figuring this out. Looking forward to a repeat visit someday.

This place is like being in heaven. The thermal springs located in the hotel are just great. The facilities if the hotel are very good. The place is very clean and comfortable. Outsite our room there were 2 hot pools that we could use whenever we wished. The scenery is also beautiful. I wish i could go there again tomorrow! If you have the chance to stay at this hotel just do it!

The hot springs are gorgeous. The small pools right outside the cabins are fantastic and so private, and the spa pools are just wonderful. The cabins are super comfy though could use more powerful heaters on the second floor!

We rented a cabana with a few others grouped around several thermal pools private to that group. It was delightful. Hot, natural, thermal bath without the crowds. You can have that too, if you want to walk to the pools that are open to the public. We walked through. It looks like a very secure and well run operation. Our room (53) was really a very large suit. The bed was comfortable. The room was very clean. Dinner at the on-site restaurant was very good. We had the trout prepared two different ways. The meal was fabulous, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the property. It was a perfect end to our rather hectic two weeks in Ecuador.

“Chilly, but a lovely thermal-spa resort with a great nature hike. A unique experience.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
Be forewarned that the resort is in the mountains, where it is quite chilly and rainy most of the year. Getting from the cabins to the formal spa can be a bit of a trek in the damp, chilly air, so I spent more time in the courtyard pools, which were delightful. I also have a thyroid condition that affects my circulation, so I asked for a portable heater to keep my cabin warmer. A last word of advice: Ask for a quiet cabin that is not too near the main lodge/restaurant/reception. (The cabins are rather rustic, with very little soundproofing or insulation.)

Hotel needs to install more racks in the bathrooms to dry towels! I love their attempt at being ‘eco’ friendly- but a few extra steps would help!
