My husband and I spent 2 nights at Bellavista as our last excursion in Ecuador, after Galapagos, the Rain Forest and the High Andes. This was definitely the way to do it. We were on the go all the rest of the vacation and here at the Cloud Forest we had a nice relaxing change of pace before returning home.... more

We stayed for four nights at Bellavista Lodge and two nights in their B&B in Quito in July 2009. The B&B is a handy place to start your visit after a late flight. Someone from Bellavista picked us up from the airport and later drove us to the lodge, a huge convenience. The lodge is about 2 hours from Quito,... more

For a relatively "budget" hotel, this has to be one of the best experiences of my travels to date. Bellavista is perched high in the cloud forest, seemingly in the middle of nowehere. The air is clean and fresh, the walks are fabulous, the accommodation is far better than their website would suggest and we ate well during our 2... more

We loved Bellavista, from the moment we were collected from Quito early in the morning it was a wonderful experience. When we arrived and were shown our room we just felt like we had gone to the best home in the world. The rooms are lovely, they have a nice feel and a great smell about them - it reminded... more

We stayed on the second floor in an off-site newer building. We had to have the electrician come to turn on the lights. The water was only hot for a short time during our stay, so we were disappointed in that. The room was nice, however the floor was covered in uneven bamboo flooring which made it easy to stub... more

We spent 2 nights at the Dome. I requested the Dome myself, and I suppose that if I didn't, we would get a "normal" cottage. Living in the Dome gave us this Tarzan and Jane feeling, as it is a king of a tree-house. It was really nice, even if you could see the outside world through the crack in... more

We arrived to Bellavista during an unplanned trip, we left Quito and took the old Quito-Nono road, and followed the "Ecoruta el Quinde", we got to Bellavista following their signs from Tandayapa(6 Km), we had breakfast as we were on our way to Mindo, it is an amazing location, the staff welcomed us inmediatly after we parked our car (VW... more

I greatly enjoyed my recent visit to BellaVista Cloud Forest. Right from the first contact, when Driver Mr Luna picked me up at exactly 8am from my hotel, it was a great experience. He was an excellent spokesperson for Bellavista, giving me an overview of Bellavista and praising it justly. The lodge itself is delightful and I found the service... more

We spent one night here after the Galapagos and were happy with our experience at Bellavista. Only 2-hours from Quito, the beautiful setting and access to nature was great after polluted Quito. We saw many birds including toucans and hummingbirds and did a couple of hikes each day. The fixed menu food was good. The staff was kind, but the... more
