    Something where put soap and shampoo in the shower is missing. We had to left both in the floor

    The location is very good, since the lodge is located next to the Misahualli River, with direct access from the property to the river. It is less than 1 km from the property to the center of Misahualli (you can leave the car park at the lodge and comfortably walk to the center) The attention is personalized and very good!. The cleanliness and space in the rooms are OK. There is also a cafeteria with a fridge, kitchen and everything you need. The gardens are very beautiful!

    The breakfasts could be improved. The quantities were sufficient (except for butter and jam) , but little bit monotonous. My friends' rooms that were located on the ground were not equipped with aircon. Instead they had fans, so their rooms were not as good as mine.

    The location was beautiful. In the morning the air was filled with bird singing. Our first floor room was specious, clean and had aircon. The lodge's manager spoke very good English, which was a bonus, as none of us could speak Spanish. The Napo river boat trip arranged by the lodge's manager was amazing.

    Extremely beautiful property and one of the nicest accomodations I've stayed in an Ecuador, let alone in the middle of the jungle. Spent most evenings jumping in the river and swimming just a minute walk down the stairs to the bank. Well located, very close to town, good WiFi, extremely clean, 5 star facilities

    This was a perfect Amazon stay thanks to the care and vision of the owners Anna and Carlos. You don’t need any more luxurious than here - if you do, leave you Carbon Footprint at home.

    The wifi was inconsistent...sometimes it worked well for a video chat and other times, a simple webpage wouldn't load. But we didn't come to the edge of the Amazon for internet use, so it wasn't a big deal.

    The location is wonderful, outside the small the town of Misahualli. We had a car, but we still walked to town when we went because it was a nice and easy walk. We enjoyed watching the monkeys at the Playa de los Monos. Our daughters loved swimming in the river in the afternoons. The rooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The owners, Anna and her husband, were on top of everything and made sure everyone was comfortable! Very helpful for us was that there's a dedicated kitchen for guest use!

    This is really the perfect spot if you want to feel like you're *kinda* in the jungle but still like to have a tiny town to eat in and walk around. When you're in the lodge you can hear the river rumble past and the birds chirp. But it's also on a road (not busy at all but leads to the small town center) so if you're able to only come for a couple of days you don't have to spend an entire day getting there. Anna and her husband have made a paradise here. Places to lounge outside, great breakfast (lunch and dinner you need to go to town for), and just in general a great vibe. I was happy just to relax and watch the river roll by but if you're into activities, Anna can hook you up no matter your budget. She told me what was good around that I didn't need to have a tour or a guide for. I loved it here! Also there are cats!!! They are pretty shy but will allow you to look at them and take pictures.

    Breakfast is a bit pricey at $5 per person but it was tasty, fresh and a decent amount of it.

    The location is fantastic. You can hear the sound of the river as you sleep. Ana and her husband Eduardo were really nice hosts and a pleasure to meet. The family room was very comfortable, with a covered porch seating area over looking the river. Ana also helped us arrange a walking tour of the jungle. Her guide was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English.
