San Miguel de los Bancos Pool of the Sucia River Hotels

"We had a delightful stay. The room was clean and comfortable and restaurant was excellent. Focus here is on birding and wildlife, so it's not a luxury resort. We had a private early morning birding trip with guide and saw toucans! Really memorable....."

"Friendly staff! Within walking distance from bus stop and town. They arranged our tours for us when we requested( bird tour and chocolate factory). Rooms are wonderful! Beds and sheets are the BEST!"

"Very airy and comfortable room with a window from which to watch birds in the garden"

"Wonderful staff that go above and beyond to make sure guests are comfortable. Very clean with a great breakfast. Would definitely recommend. "

"For the price this place was great!"

"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."

"Bathroom toilet wouldn’t flush all the way, made the room smell bad, and yes we didn’t flush any toilet paper, informed the manager about it and nothing was done, wouldn’t stay here again."

"this is for the adventerous, dont get scare on the way there the roads are a little rough due to the hotel still being developed. Chef Marcelo is a plus for this hotel and Sol as well. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful."

"Fantastic!! The staff went absolutely above and beyond, helping us hire a local babysitter, packing us specialized meals to go, checking in even if two folks has already eaten lunch but they knew another person in our party had not yet. And so many activities on offer with guide! Pool was big and had a large shallow end, which our two kids loved. GORGEOUS views and property. Stunning and can’t wait to return!"
