Hosteria La Posada de Mindo — Hotel in Mindo

The cabins look really cute and the lobby of the main building is nice and clean. When my Mom and I arrived the sign said "We speak English." No one spoke English. In addition, they lost my original reservation, which was for a room with 2 beds. They showed us to a cabin that had a bed downstairs and then a flat "mattress" up in a small loft. This was fine except there were mushrooms growing in the bathroom and next to the bed, dust and spider webs in the loft, and the door barely closed all the way, let alone lock. The hostess said the pool closed at 9:00pm but both nights we we stayed there were a lot of people with loud music and yelling at the pool (right outside our windows) until midnight or later. One morning we were going on a bird watching tour at 6am and we woke up to find out we were locked in and we ended up prowling around the main building to find someone to let us out. All in all, disappointing since it could be such a cute...

We were able to stay in one of the four cabana's cabana's​ they have behind the main . building. The cabana's have a small porch with a table and two chairs and a hammock. The rooms have space for the double bed and a couple of small end tables and a private bathroom with shower. There is also a loft single bed above the bathroom. The cabana's are rustic wood with natural ventilation and windows. The weather at this time of year is humid and damp as it June, the end of the rainy season. Breakfast was included which one egg, bread, butter, jam, juice and coffee or tea. The family that runs the hotel we're friendly, accommodating and helpful. The hotel is about 3 blocks from the bus station and one block from the town square were all the tour offices, stores and restaurants...

Our room for 2 nights was in the main lodge overlooking the cabins, and behind them, the beautiful pool and hot tub. Room was clean and roomy, beds comfortable. Cooked-to-order breakfast. Great location just a half-block from the main square with shops, lots of restaurants, and the bus station a block away. Discovered that booking.com didn't collect full payment upfront, and La Posada's credit card machine was not working, so had to deposit remaining lodging balance into their bank when we got back to Quito. Owners were very accommodating working with us through this situation. They warmed up the hot tub on request and it and the pool...
