Located high in the volcanic Andes mountains area over 10, 000 feet above sea level...Scenic and beautiful! The hot springs therma bubbling, relaxing & conveniently located right outside my room door. Truly a gem worth visiting. Area is quaint and well maintained. Friendly staff. Buffet Breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt, Meats, eggs, bread varieties, sweet cakes, coffee & delicious cocoa. Something for vegans too! Rooms modern very clean... offer Free WiFi. There was fog mist & cloudiness on the mountains making the area very chilly. The front desk bright me a portable heater to my room on request. Located 1 hour from Quito. Yes I would recommend and vist again.
This is a natural hot spring resort, about an hour from Quito and a perfect stop on the way to and from the airport as it's on the right side of the city. Although many visitors seem to come for the day, we were lucky to stay in a cabin with hot springs right outside the door and the two larger pools around 100 m away. The cabin was cosy and atmospheric. Lunch and dinner in the restaurant were both excellent, prices were more at the European level than the bargains elsewhere in Ecuador, but understanding this is a luxury resort. The buffet breakfast was a bit underwhelming, but not the end of the world and the staff were always friendly and attentive. This became a lovely memory of the end of our trip to Ecuador
Great experience to soak among the mountains. Beautiful pools and very clean. If you're in Quito and have time, do it..
The views! This place was AMAZING! Quiet and peaceful relaxing and the springs were hot and CLEAN. Staff was great and friendly as well. A must visit when in Ecuador.
Just got back from a quick two-day getaway and it totally blew my mind! 🌿 The place is unbelievably beautiful, the staff were super friendly, and the service was spot on. I even had a “relaxation massage” with a lovely lady named Cruz—and it was absolutely amazing!
