My friend and I stayed here for 2 days. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. I actually had a warm shower (unlike my stay in Quito). The food was great--even for picky eaters. I looked forward to the fresh squeezed juice before each meal. The hostel is located outside of Mindo. You can see at least 3 waterfalls from... More

We have been traveling in Ecuador and finished our stay with 2 nights at the Abrazo del Arbol in Mindo. It is very remote about 7 km out of town. We crossed the river/stream 4 times to get there. It is charming, very lush with plants and nature. The beds were great and are all draped in white mosquito netting.... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Abrazo del Arbol! It's in a beautiful spot and it was really nice to be away from the main town of Mindo. Just be prepared to take a ~20 min taxi to get to/from the hotel. The environment and the views were beautiful, there was lots of room to just hang out and... More

Stayed here with my wife and two daughters Dec 2012 and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This was the ideal spot for us to spend time with our two girls. When we arrived the kids were puzzled what they were going to do since there is no TV, no wifi, no cell phone reception etc. but within a few minutes they... More

I live and work in Quito, so Mindo is a great option for a quick weekend getaway. Before visiting this place, I liked Mindo. But after staying here I can say I love it. Accommodations, both indoor and outdoor, were clean, comfortable, simple and stylish. Food was impeccable, and the staff more than gracious. We lucked out with great weather... More

We stayed here for ten days. We rented the entire property and I can't imagine anywhere else being a better fit for our group. David and the staff were unbelievably welcoming and hospitable. They catered to our every need. The food was absolutely delicious & the grounds are great for relaxing, playing games, walks, etc. Every member of our group... More

Abrazo Del Arbol hosted 21 of us for a student retreat in September 2012, and it was perfect. The site itself is perfect, it is a good 7 kilometers out of town down a dirt track, so it really is in the midst of the beautiful nature that Mindo has to offer. As for the facilities, they are equally good.... More

Our family just returned from an Ecuador/Galapagos vacation with our 3 children, ages 11, 9 and 5. One of the highlights was the night that we spent at El Abrazo Del Arbol. We were fortunate to be the only guests that night and we felt like we had rented our own private paradise, plus the added bonus of cooks and... More

A beautiful property at the end of a long rutted road. We had our own 4 wheel drive mini-suv, so driving through the 5 rushing streams that cross the road was possible - if a bit scary. We had e-mailed for availability, and were told to come. A bit later another e-mail told us the lodge was closed for the... More
