I liked having nature around me and its fulfilling breathtaking beauty. The owners/staff are very friendly and understanding; beautiful people. It was a pleasure to meet them. Hearing a river flowing and the tranquil sounds of a waterfall on the property; amazing to both fall asleep to and awaken to. Hummingbirds to admire, a swimming pool, soccer field, volley ball, a kids playground for families with younger ones, a walking path, hammocks, and breakfast provided. I had my own car and speak Spanish, so I enjoyed everything I wanted to do and see on my stay. Some good things to see were mentioned by the owners/staff. Positive energy. I did not have any dislikes.

Nice lodge close to nature
Posted 10 Jan 2018Very friendly staff, tasty food. It seems like a hung-out place for Ecuadorians from Quito. Beautiful landscape and jungle around. Quiet and lonely not like hippies Mindo but close enough to the sights. You need a rental car to get around. Nice experience. Rooms in lodge type. Not much comfort but nice and clean.

Nice place, but booring
Posted 8 Aug 2016 on OrbitzBeside the 1 hour tour to the museum, there is nothing else to do specially evening/nigth. No restaurant service, very cold water pool, not sauna, no turco, not jacuzzi, at 6 pm no restaurant service at the place, the 2 restaurants in town closed we end dinning cookies with juice. Poor wifi service, no pool, pingpong table, entertain room, nothing to do. Facilities are all rigth, conftable room, but with all cabins empty besides ours and other, they asigned us next to the other, not thinking about guest confort. Much to work on, very booring.

Weekend stay
Posted 31 May 2015 on HotelsRoom and surroundings were very nice. We had a massage which was mostly reflexology and great. The only thing we did not like was that breakfast is served from 8:30 A.M., which is a bit late for us, other than that, we highly recommend this place.

Retreat
Posted 31 Mar 2015
Pros: Location far away from the city, Amazing flora and fauna , historic native ritual sites , GREAT people , food .
The fresh juice ( babaco) loved it .
Cons: Phone number to call for directions. Everything else was fine
Location: Enjoyed the local museum , cafes and the forests lots to walk around in and about ,rivers ,water falls. small local villages,the people.
I booked this lodge in November and arrived in march. Expedia did not inform them of my arrival (pre-payed ) All the staff do not speak English .I had to call my previous hotel for a translator .I showed them my conformation . They were
booked out ,but made a room available to me for 3 lovely days. This is a very isolated area , a national park .Tulipe
is a small town of maybe 50 people on a cobble road . What a peaceful place. they have historical dig sites all over the hills. a small museum ,botanical garden too. The tiny village has a few cafes as well as the lodge . It's a hard place to find but worth it.The current phone number as of 11/2014 did not work , email via Expedia.com
The water is safe after 2 days we got a translator ,they use bottled .Food safe too , enjoy the tilapia, shimp with garlic and don't forget the Ecuadorian beer Pilsner.
