Casa Divina Eco Lodge
5/5 Excellent
"Excellent "
A verified traveller stayed at Casa Divina Eco Lodge
"This is a wonderful location for peace and also ease of accessibility to Quito. Scenery is breathtaking. Food and service at restaurant are excellent. The rooms are clean, spacious and have wonderful views both of the city and the volcano crater. The staff could not be more helpful and polite. I cannot wait to visit again. Visiting the Quito area I cannot imagine staying anywhere else. "
"I liked having nature around me and its fulfilling breathtaking beauty. The owners/staff are very friendly and understanding; beautiful people. It was a pleasure to meet them. Hearing a river flowing and the tranquil sounds of a waterfall on the property; amazing to both fall asleep to and awaken to. Hummingbirds to admire, a swimming pool, soccer field, volley ball, a kids playground for families with younger ones, a walking path, hammocks, and breakfast provided. I had my own car and speak Spanish, so I enjoyed everything I wanted to do and see on my stay. Some good things to see were mentioned by the owners/staff. Positive energy. I did not have any dislikes."

"I honestly choose a resort, but I accidentally choose this area. However, I would recommend for those who are low budget travelers but who are willing to take a break and rest in their amazing hot springs. They do have hiking trail, but it is the best not to go in the midst of rain. You will slip and get yourself all muddy. I learn that that hard way. You can walk around the town, but honestly, there is not too much to see aside from the church and cemenetry.The church had an interestingsaint with a sword in her hand. I would love to learn more about that. Other thing that I really like about this place is that hot springs are completely accessible, food being first class, and fireplace being readily available.It is a sleeper, and I recommended it. If there is any downside to it, they locked everything up until 7am. It means I (without a vehcile) cannot get out until 7am. It means I could miss my flight. The breakfasts are not ready until 830 am. However, everything is affordable, so this is a decent tradeoff. "

"The property was ultra unique. Absolutely the middle of nowhere with the most beautiful views you could imagine. Just to top it off, the service was amazing and the food was excellent!!!! The steak was incredible and only 12 dollars! Can't say enough good things about this destination. "
