Everything

We were so glad we chose the Margarit for our stay in Mindo! Margarita and her staff were wonderful hosts who made sure all our needs were met. Our room was lovely, sparkling clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts and other meals were great. The location was perfect - nestled in the trees, allowing us to watch birds from our room and from the lobby, but within easy walking distance from town.

Clean , nice staff , very attentive and helpful

The seamless integration of nature, sustainability, and luxury is what truly sets Mashpi Lodge apart. From immersive guided experiences in the Chocó rainforest to thoughtfully curated cuisine rooted in local sourcing and Ecuadorian traditions, every aspect of the stay felt intentional and enriching. The level of personalization throughout—from dining and excursions to wellness offerings—created a sense of ease and connection, allowing us to fully engage with the environment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The balance between adventure and restoration was exceptional, particularly the guided walks and the tranquil spa experiences set within the rainforest itself. Above all, the lodge fosters a deep appreciation for conservation and biodiversity, transforming the visit into not just a stay, but a meaningful and memorable journey.

I cannot explain how fabulous this lodge is. The service is impeccable, the rooms/cabanas are breathtaking and super clean, the food is divine and the local experience is like none other. Stop here! You have found your place to stay!

Delicious breakfast, beautiful property with a nice pool and birds everywhere. The host was very helpful and is able to communicate in English and Spanish. We loved our stay and hope to visit again someday!
