10/10 Excellent

Lovely view, family friendly atmosphere. More like staying in someone’s house. The food was excellent. If you wanted choices, taxis were readily available and inexpensive. We hiked to the terribita and did some of the waterfall trails. Highly recommend if it is your style. My only wish would have been for better, faster coffee!

Gem of a place in Mindo

10/10 Excellent

We had a magical stay at Casa Vista Alta. We stayed in the cabin, which is a bit of a distance from the lodge. I wouldn’t recommend it for folks that had mobility issues. However, the cabin was immersed in nature and conveyed a sense of serenity and Connection with the amazing jungle. The staff were kind the food delicious and I highly recommend this lodge.

A Perfect Stay at Casa de Alta in Mindo!

As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay than Casa de Alta. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome—they were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help. My room was cozy and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. And the breakfast? Absolutely amazing! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—it was the best way to start my day. The morning view was just as incredible, with hummingbirds constantly fluttering around, making for a magical experience in the heart of the cloud forest. The peaceful atmosphere and warm hospitality made my stay truly special. If you’re looking for a relaxing, welcoming spot in Mindo, I highly recommend Casa de Alta. I’ll definitely be back!

The location in the jungle was fabulous for birding.. Loved the Lemon house built right in the jungle with a lots of windows.

Stunning location with beautiful views!! Staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room with the bublebath is very nice. Would recommend for nature lovers!

10/10 Excellent

The pros for this property are endless! The property and surrounding area are breathtaking. The staff go above and beyond to ensure a happy stay. A breakfast of fruit, fresh juice, coffee, eggs, bread and jam using high quality, local ingredients. We felt safe in Mindo and the property is located in between the town and the excursions. We opted for dinner and a bird watching tour, i highly recommend both!

10/10 Excellent

We had a lovely stay at Casa de Vista Alta in Mindo. It's a gorgeous property in a stunning location, high up on a hill, surrounded by a bird-filled cloud forest. The views from the veranda (and balconies) are spectacular. The staff at the Casa were very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed hanging out with the Casa's dog, Kyova. We spent one night in a room in the main house and the other night in a cabin. Breakfast was very tasty. We also ate dinner once at the main house -- tasty trout on the spacious veranda. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning.

Very beautiful view and great sighting of birds. Good food and service. Helpful owners and staff.

10/10 Excellent

It is truly a dream hotel if your dream is to sleep amongst tropical birds and plants. It was incredible to wake up to hummingbirds, toucans, and parrots every day. The rooms are wonderful and the food is great. Strongly recommend

10/10 Excellent

It was a wonderful experience-everyone was extremely customer oriented and helpful at all times. Maibe is an asset to the business. Thank you!
Antoinette, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely lovely. Owned and operated by a local family. The staff is very kind and helpful. The views of wildlife are exceptional. We were very comfortable. We didn’t want to leave! Note that the road to the hotel is not paved. The local drivers are used to it. If arriving from Quito, get out at the Mindo town square and take a taxi $4-5 to the hotel. People there seem honest and hardworking.
Judith, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Definitely Recommend!

This is a FANTASTIC property. Located in the mountains, the villas are nestled in the moutains with either forest views or valley views. The staff was amazing. It is a 45 minute walk from Mindo, or a $4.00 taxi. Less that 2Km walk from the hotel is the cable car over the valley to additional hikes and waterfalls. The staff were wonderful, food and wine were excellent, and many, many, many birds. Our guide Esther was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It is a great place!
Amy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a really beautiful and relaxing stay here in Mindo for 3 days. The property is a short drive from town, and we enjoyed being more secluded and in touch with nature. Our room was fantastic - beautifully crafted and well-decorated with tons of natural light, including a huge private balcony with a hot tub that overlooked the forest. It was so relaxing to fall asleep and wake up to sounds of the forest. We enjoyed a delicious daily breakfast on the main terrace, which has a stunning view of the valley. We ate and watched hummingbirds flittering inches from our table and toucans hanging out in the trees along the property. The hotel is a family-run business, and everyone was phenomenal and incredibly kind. Fernando went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and easy stay in Mindo, and was able to organize all of our transportation to and from the airport and around town, which was really helpful. He is also very passionate and talented in bird-watching, and we were able to book a private morning tour with him, which was the highlight of our time in Mindo. This was such a special and magical place & I hope to return someday!
Arielle, 4-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Horrible service. Do not recommend.

Horrible service. This place costs much more than the other hotels in town. The first night was fine. On the second night, when we came back from town, there was no power. No one informed us. We called the hotel and they said they’re workin it. We didn’t have power all that evening/night and the day after through checkout. After that initial phone call to the hotel, they stopped answering our texts and calls. We didn’t know what was happening. No one checked on us, no one brought us a flashlight. Within 30min our phones shut down cause we couldn’t charge them and we didn’t even have a flashlight in them. Couldn’t use our computers. It was pitch dark. We couldn’t do anything in the room, had to shower in the dark, search for our stuff in the dark. Couldn’t even use the jacuzzi we paid extra for. The most frustrating thing is that no one cared no one checked how we were doing. No one apologized the day after. We couldn’t go to the reception because it was a 10 min walk through complete darkness. We could have paid $100 less and stayed in a a room with light in town. Since then they have been ignoring our calls for refund for that horrible night. One of the worst experiences I had in a vacation. I do not recommend.

8/10 Good

the casa is up a road away from the town so you have to get a taxi to anywhere except the tarabita to the waterfalls. The environment is lush and beautiful. The room of the cabin was spacious and clean and comfortable. The first night I stayed there was an accident which knocked out power to Mindo for most of the day, I think the water heater was electric and thus there was no hot water. The staff were very nice and helpful. I did not take meals at the casa so can’t comment on the food.

En la app refleja el precio a pagar en la propiedad es de 140, pero me cobraron más el IVA y eso no decía al momento de hacer la reserva y sobre la habitación la parte de la terraza estaba cerrada, y en las fotos muestra que si está abierto el paso
