We were part of a birding group spending the night here. Due to landslide, we had a hard time getting here. Once we arrived, we were surprised that none of the staff wore masks ( in contrast to staff at all other hotels that we have stayed). The room was extremely basic and small for two people. We got a 2nd floor room where it was quite steep to go up. The bathroom sink was leaking so the floor was wet. Breakfast was good, however. Wifi was only available near the shop. In the morning, we saw many birds, including a toucan barbet. On the way to Mindo, we encountered 4 sites of falling trees due to a recent storm. Although our driver was able to use a machete to clear 3 sites, the 4th one was impossible to get through. We ended up going back to the lodge and found an alternative route to Mindo after asking many people. Apparently, it is hard to get in and out during rainy season.
