Very satisfactory hotel. It’s such a blessing to rest here after returning to Quito from the Galapagos. Mingdo is a world-class cloud rain forest and a paradise for bird photography. So I chose to stay at his house, the online reviews were well-deserved. Clean and tidy, complete facilities and beautiful environment. You can take pictures of birds while sitting on the balcony. We chose to have dinner at his house. The two girls had good cooking skills and the price was reasonable. The handsome Angel took the initiative to help us carry our luggage to the room upstairs and introduced us to a professional bird photographer, which was very helpful. The crowned umbrella bird and the great toucan we photographed. And vultures. Very lucky.

My wife and I just returned from a stellar week in Mindo. The folks at Las Terrazas de Dana made this a wonderful and flawless experience. The birding with Marcelo was phenomenal (we saw well over 130 species), and we even saw red-headed barbets and choco toucans from our balcony. Food at the lodge was excellent, but what made this place truly special was the staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and kind. We have stayed in a number of different places over the years in Latin America, from more rustic accommodations to luxury resorts, but this place is the most special. I also want to call out David's incredibly prompt and detailed responses to all the questions I sent him in advance of our trip. It was our first time in Ecuador and we felt completely comfortable knowing that everything was being taken care of from the pick up at the airport, to the private guides. Las Terrazas has my highest recommendation. One note: for folks with mobility issues the combination of elevation in Mindo and steps leading to some of the rooms may prove challenging, so I would suggest discussing with them up front to find the best room for you. We were in the highest room on the property and were very grateful to have assistance with our luggage.

The staff Las Terrazas de Dana were what made this experience exceptional rather than just great. Friendly, welcoming, funny and always there to help, the people at this hotel are top notch. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable and the view from my room was breathtaking. The food was fresh and delicious with lots of local and international choices.

The staff greeted us with smiles when we arrived and that set the tone for our trip. Communication was fantastic throughout our stay. They arranged two exceptional birding excursions for us and paired us with the best birding guide ever. Marcelo was extremely knowledgeable and took us to places we would not have seen without him. Grounds were beautiful and the location is away from the hubbub of town. One can easily spend a day in blissful enjoyment without leaving the property: birds, flowers, views…. Two of us were vegetarians and the kitchen staff created delicious dishes off-menu for us. Staff arranged transportation to and from Quito and everything was handled professionally and punctually. We loved everything about our experience at Las Terrazas de Dana.

Wonderful in its simplicity. The location is very green and lush, and we felt part of nature. The sights and sounds of the birds were beautiful. The hotel had a small, homely feel. Room was clean, and spacious balcony was perfect to soak in the morning forest atmosphere. Food was filling and tasty, and catered well enough for us as vegetarians and with a child. The staff were so welcoming, and big shout out to Marco and Angel for whom nothing was too much trouble. The resident dogs were adorable.

Las Terrazas is exactly what you want for an adventure in the Mindo Cloud Forest. We arrived in Quito in the evening and went directly to Mindo. They can arrange a driver. In a dark drizzling night we were met at Las Terrazas and led to #10 which was a good walk up paths and stairs. The large suite has huge floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors. In the morning, we awoke in the tree tops with a cloud perfectly positions against the nearby mountain. Breakfast was included (delishes and robust) and the coffee was excellent. The dining area is open and overlooking the beautiful pool with nature and the song of birds surrounding you. We had our own guide but they can arrange it for you as well. From there we were driven to hike to the gondola over the ravine, waterfalls, bird-watching (and caught sightings of a couple of elusive Toucans), butterfly preserve and stopped at a lodge for hummingbird viewing (and confirmed we were glad we stayed where we did). This is an excellent place to be for a couple of nights before or after heading into Quito and the Galapagos. The rooms have a very comfortable bed, walk-in shower, two person jacuzzi tub that looks out the window. Seating and a table both in the room and on the balcony for viewing. Butterflies are abundant in the gardens and of course, the magical bird of Mindo are everywhere.

The accommodations were ideal. The staff were all warm and welcoming. David and Marco gave excellent recommendations for activities. Our room was spacious and airy. We were able to see at least 20 species of birds from our balcony. The pool was refreshing and sparkling. The gardens are gorgeous. We had a wonderful time.

As part of our private tour day tour from Quito to Mindo, we had lunch on the terrace of the restaurant, which overlooks the cloud forest. This is a relatively new property. We hope this review encourages people to stay or enjoy lunch or dinner here. The staff were warmly welcoming and did everything they could for our experience to be a good one. The menu had an ample many enticing choices; we all had something different and it was absolutely excellent in every way, like what you'd expect in a fine restaurant in NYC
