Ecuadorian Amazon Spa Hotel

"We stayed here for two nights. It was just ok. Don't expect anything over the top considering how much you're paying. Breakfast is traditional Ecuadorian food. The hotel is close to all the downtown festivities and shops and is directly across the street from the city's main waterfall. We stayed here the weekend of Palm Sunday. The city was crazy with people, especially outside of the hotel. So, if you stay here that particular weekend, be prepared to be awakened very early (4am) in the morning with hundreds of people who have come to bath in the hot pools and waterfall. "

"The jacuzzi feature just wasn't worth paying extra for in a cabin. The outside pools are so much better"

"This was our 2nd stay. We only had a few hours as we had an early morning flight. The grounds are stunning, the food delicious, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Wonderful stay!"

"Our stay at Samari Spa Resort was truly unforgettable. The property itself is absolutely stunning—elegant, peaceful, and surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, we could feel that this was a special place. What made our experience even more meaningful, though, was the warmth of the staff. Every single person—from reception to the restaurant—was not only professional, but genuinely kind and welcoming. They created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and incredibly comfortable, which is not always easy to find. Traveling with young children (ages five and three), we weren’t sure what to expect at a more upscale resort, but it exceeded all expectations. Our kids had an amazing time, especially enjoying the chocolate massage and the pool area. It meant so much to us to see them so happy and included. Between the beautiful setting, the thoughtful details, and the heartfelt hospitality, we created memories we will cherish for a long time. We still find ourselves talking about how warm and special our experience was. We can’t recommend this place enough."

"Airport shuttle sucked"

"The Gran Hotel was wonderful. After coming out of the deep Amazon we were excited to have some plush accommodations. This hotel fits that bill. The property is truly like a resort. The pool and surrounding area is relaxing and felt like a vacation getaway. The breakfast buffet was excellent with many options and great local cuisine. I would highly recommend this hotel."
