    We had a wonderful, relaxed stay in an awesome environment!

    Such a pampering experience!

    Liked : Everything. The grounds and hike was beautiful. The privacy of the pools which never felt crowded during our stay. Room was so comfortable and roomy. I appreciated the endless stone jug of water in my room. Breakfast and all other meals - exceptional! The spa experience was also great! We had a driver take us from the airport to lodge and he ended up being our "go to" for the rest of our time in the Quito area.

    A mountain paradise

    Liked : This was not my first visit to Termas de Papallacta - and it won't be my last one. The setting is just magnificent, and the pools are wonderful and well maintained. We had a suite with fireplace, which added to the experience. It was pure relaxation. Another true highlight is the staff, who are extremely helpful and friendly. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel and were satisfied. The breakfast buffet is actually really good.

    Disliked : The restaurant has been renovated since my last stay and is very spacious now - actually a bit too spacious. We were told that the renovation is not yet complete but right now, the restaurant feels a bit bleak (a wide pale area with no decoration). Also, as for the tables and chairs, there would be room for improvement. Obviously, this is only a minor point of critique - let's see what it looks like when renovations are complete.

    Peaceful, regenerative time high up in the Andes

    Liked : Lovely oasis of tranquility amongst hot springs high up in the Andes. The staff are helpful, the spa is excellent. We had a lovely time hiking around, soaking in the hot springs, experiencing the spa.

    Disliked : The food was ok, not great.
