My boyfriend and I stayed at the inn for a couple of days in March. I love the design of the place... lots of wood, lots of space, big windows. Our room was super cute and clean with a nice bathroom and a great view on a river and a papaya tree. The little stream is pretty loud but in... More

Alexandra, the owner's sister, picked us up at the airport and drove us to this magical place. The pictures by the previous reviewer are very accurate; beautiful wood in the construction, snug rooms, very clean, on basically a one-road town. A huge tree between the hotel and the stream is filled with hummingbirds. The staff fills several feeders about every... More

My partner and I stayed here for three nights in early February. The service, food, ambience and price were excellent. We had some trouble getting an internet connection in the main dining room but staff were most helpful in assisting us. The only drawback of the Inn was its location on the main street. Our room was at the front... More

They picked us up in Quito and stopped with us at Tulipe on the way and helped translate (don't skip Tulipe). The inn is right by the river and there are dozens of hummingbirds that fly right up to the balconies. We stayed there two nights and had all our meals there. Great food and service! I would definitely stay... More

My wife and I stayed at the Dragonfly Inn January 19th for one night. We were picked up at our hotel in Quito by one of their drivers, Alexandra. She was a very good driver and accommodated our request for a stop to get a sim card for our cell phone on the way to Mindo. We liked our room... More

After a long flight, we loved the calm of this lodge. What we liked: good breakfast, very good meals available all day, excellent juice, clean, hardwood floors. Competitive price. Least: too small bathroom for a stay of several days, restaurant and internet room closed at 9 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. as it is written on the door.

While there are surely cheaper places in Mindo, we always choose the Dragonfly Inn. Rooms are beautiful—all wood, bright white linens, and hot showers. Wifi doesn't work very well in the rooms, and often needs re-setting in the main lodge, but we didn't come to Mindo to sit on the internet anyway, so it's no big deal. Food is good,... More

Pros: + One of the better options in terms of appearance. Rooms were clean and service was acceptable. + Could have good views of the river and mountains depending on your room. Cons: - Everything is so cheap in Mindo that even though the price was low, I don't know if the value proposition was there. - Almost no English... More

I am not so enthusiastic as all the other people about this b&b & Mindo. The room and bathroom are tiny and although the atmosphere of the building is really nice, I wasn't impressed by the whole setting. The staff was friendly but rather seemed to hang in front of the place than make an extra effort. I am sure... More

The Inn, breakfast, restaurant & location were very good but our stay was interrupted by drunk revellers at 3am on the street below and the couple next door got drunk, argued and then made up loudly...so we didn't sleep very well the 2 nights we were there! I think the owner was away as didn't see anyone around to ask... More
