Reviews from visitors:
Zaysant and the hosts, Gerardo and Zara, are exceptional. Our small birding group stayed there for two nights while we were in transit through Quito. The location is convenient to the airport, and Zaysant will arrange transportation to and from the lodge. The grounds are beautiful, with flowers and trees all about, with hammocks strung in shaded spots and fountains. The flowers attract hummingbirds and other birds, as do the water and a couple of other feeders.
As others have said, Gerardo designed and built the lodge, using natural wood. The results of his creativity are beautiful and extraordinary. The rooms are lovely, comfortable, and clean.
The kindness of the hosts is best of all. Some of our party had a 12 hour layover in Quito between flights on the way home. Others were continuing from the airport, but had some warm clothes they wanted to leave in Quito for a couple of weeks. Gerardo was kind enough to keep a bag of clothes, then arrange for a driver to bring the bag to the airport when he picked up the layover folks to spend the afternoon at the lodge. Those of us waiting for the flight later in the day lounged around the lodge grounds, watched the birds (14 species, including Black-breasted Puffleg, in a casual afternoon), and napped in the hammocks. In addition (and without our asking), Gerardo offered us the use of a room and a shower without charge. We had dinner at the lodge and were whisked back to the airport much refreshed.
That is extraordinary hospitality.
Staff was super attentive and friendly. My son and I stayed between climbs for one night , and did not utilize their many offerings, but can only imagine these services would be top notch as well.
They dont check their emails or messages so I wouldnt know how the place is, but, just fails on an easily avoidable business level. Makes you wonder if they check expiration dates on food.
Family atmosphere, hospitable beyond expectations. Fantastic hosts, great food, great friends and beautiful family and staff. Love the Chihuahua’s. Comfortable beds. Quiet peaceful grounds. I needed to rest from my long trip. I did and in addition I made new friends . Gracias Gerardo y Zayra.
What a wonderful place to start and end your holiday! We arrived at the start of a long trip tired and jet lagged and were immediately made to feel so welcome and invited to treat the lodge as our home. Warm hospitality, lovely clean individualistic rooms made in the rustic style very skilfully by the owner. A large beautiful garden with many birds. Homely meals in the dining room watching humming birds. We enjoyed the pool and table tennis too. Much to be recommended. We also had lifts from and to the airport at very unsociable hours. Great experience.
