San Miguel de los Bancos Spa Hotels

"The seamless integration of nature, sustainability, and luxury is what truly sets Mashpi Lodge apart. From immersive guided experiences in the Chocó rainforest to thoughtfully curated cuisine rooted in local sourcing and Ecuadorian traditions, every aspect of the stay felt intentional and enriching. The level of personalization throughout—from dining and excursions to wellness offerings—created a sense of ease and connection, allowing us to fully engage with the environment without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The balance between adventure and restoration was exceptional, particularly the guided walks and the tranquil spa experiences set within the rainforest itself. Above all, the lodge fosters a deep appreciation for conservation and biodiversity, transforming the visit into not just a stay, but a meaningful and memorable journey."

"Fantastic!! The staff went absolutely above and beyond, helping us hire a local babysitter, packing us specialized meals to go, checking in even if two folks has already eaten lunch but they knew another person in our party had not yet. And so many activities on offer with guide! Pool was big and had a large shallow end, which our two kids loved. GORGEOUS views and property. Stunning and can’t wait to return!"
