Margarita, Nicole, Marcela and everyone else I encountered during this stay was an absolute gem. The stay and the room were already lovely but when I got sick, the team took it to the next level. They were available on whatsapp 24/7, they came and assisted me, brought me tons of water and what medicine they had along with extra blankets, in the morning set me with an English-speaking driver to take me to the local medical center and translate for me, made stomach-friendly food for me, and more. I don't know how I would have handled all of this anywhere else I stayed in Mindo and am so appreciative of the kindness, care and attention. Hopefully you're not sick when you come here and you can just enjoy Margarit's food, hummingbirds, and spacious and comfortable rooms.

Think mosquitos came in a little through the cracks of the window/door based on my bites.

I loved staying at Margarit Boutique Hotel, it was a highlight of my seven week trip. The hotel is spotlessly clean, so comfortable, and so much thought has gone into the beautiful design. I literally watched the hummingbirds and other varieties for hours. It’s in a peaceful location on the edge of the town, felt very safe and walkable for a solo traveller. It was easy to get to from Quito Airport, and the perfect place to relax before or after an active adventure tour! They had lots of activity suggestions, and the breakfast was my favourite of my trip. Margarit and all the staff are lovely, shoutout to Ana and Valeria <3 Thank you team for a wonderful visit!

This is a haven in Mindo. The location is perfect, just outside the main area and easy and safe to walk around. The decor is homely and modern. The people were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough to help me enjoy my time in Mindo. Very knowledgable about the local area and bird life. Helped me to booked transport so I felt safe as a solo female traveller. This is the place you should choose to stay in Mindo if you want a friendly, local experience that feels luxurious and safe. Thank you so much for making my Mindo experience a fantastic one :-)

Small boutique hotel with only 4 rooms. The common area opened onto the forest where many birds and hummingbirds were attracted to the feeders. Fun to watch the action during meals. Our room opened onto the forest and we could leave the doors open to hear the river all night long. Service from Margarit was exceptional. Be sure to try her desserts! The hotel has good security features too.

A lockbox for passports and cash would be a good addition

Friendliness and kindness of all the staff - especially Josslyn and Margarit. Josslyn organised a bird spotting tour for us late the night before. The room opened up to the rainforest - really special! Comfortable beds and great shower. Very good breakfast. Wonderful dining area open to the rainforest and gorgeous hummingbirds! Secure parking for our motorbike.

Location is great - close to central mindo, yet far enough away for a quiet stay. Margarita and her staff were very warm, welcoming, and helpful. They were also accommodating to give me a late breakfast after an early birdwatching tour. The open social area is wonderful, with green views and many colorful birds to appreciate. Spacious and comfortable room.

We liked the hotel location, a couple of blocks past downtown, away from noise. The hotel staff, especially Margarita, was very friendly and gave us good advice on what sites to visit and at what time of day. Our rooms were large, clean with super-comfy beds. There was plenty of hot water in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, eggs prepared to order, and some delicious yuca tortillas with cheese. Service was quick, friendly and accommodating. Overall a a very nice stay.

This property is absolutely beautiful. A few minutes walk from town, the common area and rooms are stunning and we felt so relaxed and well taken care of during our stay. Margarit and her staff were all so lovely and helpful with making recommendations and booking tours/taxis. The breakfast was delicious, our favourite of the trip so far.

There was nothing not to like

Very new, well designed, attractive and very clean. Great location close to town. Lots of birds to watch from the dining area. Margarita was a great hostess and very helpful when planning our day trips. Breakfast and other meals were very good.

Room No.1 is excellent, especially for birders! Margarita was exceptional, very helpful and guided us in the right direction on all information. A+, look no further if you are planning a trip to Mindo! Breakfast was super tasty 😋
