The observation deck was a total winner. We came here to walk in nature and perhaps see some birds. But here we got to see heaps of humming-birds, toucans, birds of prey and many more! Easy to spot, easy to photograph. Also, our room was everything and more than we were hoping from the pictures.

The location 15 minute drive outside Mindo township makes for a stunning and peaceful position in the mountains. (Drive is doable by small sedan on the gravel road). I opted for this lodge due to the birdlife and I was blown away in the first day, seeing toucans, toucanets, aracari, hundreds of hummingbirds and many more bird species. My room was decent size, clean, comfortable bed and hot water. Plus great Wi-Fi too. The restaurant offers delicious meals so you won’t go hungry. And the staff are very friendly. I stayed three nights, however wished I stay for a week. Highly recommended.

Amazing place for birdwatching, they don’t advertise themselves as a birding lodge but they might as well be one. Very friendly service and they could accommodate dietary restrictions like gluten free. High speed starlink internet available at the main building. The cabana was beautiful and clean with plenty of natural light and forest views.

Nothing

Very good experience! The stuffs are so nice and professional. We drove there but no any idea about the off road condition and worry about the two days stay. They told us there is only 20 mins walking distance to the table car, very nice trails on the other side of the mountain, couple waterfalls. They also help to call taxi to the town for the chocolate tour which taxi only cost $5 one way. The breakfast is well done with eggs, fruits, fresh juice, coffee… thank you so much for the professional service!

The way drives to are rough for us.
