Suchipakari Rainforest Hotel Jungle Lodge Ecuador — Restaurant in Puerto Misahuallí

disorganized with time (told me I'd get picked up between 5 and 6AM; instead got awoken at 4:30AM by driver), offer an itinerary online even though they just decide what to do day of, Carlos speaks poor English and is the only one who speaks any, promises of English-speaking shaman but actually, again, Carlos is the only English speaker, walls are paper thin and they have dogs running around and wheezing (though they claim it's just a cold, i've had dogs all my life and he definitely has something lodged in his throat) so impossible to sleep

but the worst: BED BUGS! went to sleep with no bites and woke up with over 20 ON EACH LIMB. THAT IS 80 BUG BITES. wtfffff

do NOT go here. it is a ripoff and they will take anything they can from you.

also Carlos is a creep and asked for my phone number, asked me if i wanted him to sleep in my room 3 times, and gave me special (unsolicited) attention the entire time. when i brought this up to Santiago, he acted surprised, but i have now read of multiple other women complaining about this on here. evidently it's easier to just let women keep feeling harassed than to hire another tour guide.

also constant contradictions between shaman and carlos, made it seem like neither knew what they were...

I would highly recommend you stay here if you’re looking for an amazing jungle experience and some of the best most hospitable service you will get anywhere. The guides are very knowledgeable of the island and proud to tell you all about it. The food, the lodging, and hospitality are second to none. Ask for rooms 24 to 27. You will have a chance to meet the villagers, make chocolate from scratch, make pottery, go tubing down the river, visit an animal rescue where you can hand feed monkeys just larger than squirrels, and much more. They can take you as deep into the jungle and allow you to experience as much as you would like to. Oh, almost forgot. The ayahuasca ceremony is as amazing as you’d expect it to be. The shaman they use is very experienced. This was my first time in the jungle and I know this experience will be hard to top in future...

Nice and beautiful. Relaxing. BUT WAAAAYYY TOO OVER PRICED!!! Nice rooms, food. But why is it $50 to sit in a tube down a river? and another $50 to walk for 20 minutes in the "jungle walk"? What a rip off. Service and staff is really unorganized. The time for activities is always delayed by sometimes 2 hours. My boyfriend and I did the Ayahuasca program. It was very interesting and a enriching experience to go to the shamans house at night and be part of the cleansing ritual however the Ayahuasca did not work on either of us despite eating the proper diet. No idea why, maybe it was that particular batch but perhaps think about that before deciding to do this program. I would suggest going...
