This was a great place to begin to unwind at the start of our trip to the Galapagos and then Peru. Many birds around the grounds, trails to hike (with more birds to see), and lovely facilities. Helpful friendly staff, too.
We chose the lodge on the recommendation of our tour guide company as a retreat to chill out after a busy 8 days visiting the Galapagos and Amazonia.
It was indeed a relaxing location where my wife took advantage of the resort spa and I was able to enjoy the scenic walks and spot a few bird varieties.
The food and hospitality was good.
A few of the treks were restricted and that was the only negative point.
The property was beautiful with curious staff and nice restaurant. However they lock you in because area feels unsafe and dogs bark day and night making it near impossible to get. any sleep
We loved the room and the stunning property. However, the wood fire heater in our room did not work, and after requesting help with it from four different staff members, no one could resolve the issue. The room did not have heating as a result and was very very cold. On our second night we were provided with a fairly functioning electric space heater that only had a low setting (high wasn't working) and did little to help. Would encourage other visitors to double check on heating if staying during colder climates.
Loved my stay here, breakfast was excellent, also had lunch and dinner here because the kitchen makes some tasty and nutritious food.
Just a note that this is a nature reserve in a hacienda, so the rooms smell woody and you can hear birds chirping in the morning, the perfect alarm clock.
The staff are really friendly, from being responsive on whatsapp to greeting you and showing me around the property, they made me feel really welcomed!
The walk around the nature reserve was also really nice, theres a great amount of biodiversity and birds to be found. Also got to feed the 2 llamas there.
Would wish for more local soups and foods to be added to the menu. For example, encebollado soup would have been perfect on cold nights, or maybe even a Hornado roast for lunch just to try everything once again when I arrive in Ecuador.
This is a delightful property that is memorable from the moment you arrive. The staff are wonderful and warm and kind. The birds and plants and views are extraordinary and the buildings transport you into the refinement of rht past.
This is a beautiful looking historic Hacienda property located close to Quito International Airport. It is under final approach for the airliners. It isolated in that there are no off-property restaurants within walking distance and it is a 45-minute taxi ride one-way to historic Quito. The restaurant on-property has good food but a limited menu. The only heat available in the rooms is the fireplace/wood stove. Wood is supplied.
This property was perfect to begin my holiday. From organising them to pick me up from the airport where they were there waiting for me to the friendly demeanour of all staff. It was perfect to relax and get over jet lag with the lovely walks and beautiful site with many places to relax and experience nature whether the sun was out or raining (with lots of lovely sheltered views.
Unique in the valley below Quito, this Hacienda allows you to decompress in comfort in a natural environment within reach of the airport. Management is attentive and the food and ambience exceptional. We plan to stay again soon.
Beautiful place to spend a night or two close to the airport. Only downside was an extortionate charge for taxi pick up and drop off: twice the price of a taxi to Quito yet only half the distance.
Beautiful property with welcoming staff. They arranged for our transportation & kept our bags for delayed checkout. Very customer service oriented. Lots of birds & heautiful flowers.
Beautiful property with nice trails to explore and gorgeous gardens to sit and enjoy the birds. Lovely spacious accommodations and a nice restaurant as well. Highly recommended!
Had an amazing stay at this property! We received excellent service start to finish, the owner and staff treated us like royalty and with such kindness. Definitely will return and visit this place again next time we’re back in Ecuador.
We enjoyed our short stay at Hacienda Jimenita prior to traveling to the Galapagos last month. The staff was kind and accommodating and the grounds are beautiful. It was great to be in nature and hike around the property prior to flying further. Our room was adequate and had everything that we needed for our brief stay. It was the perfect start to our time in Ecuador. We enjoyed the convenient location - less than 20 minutes from the airport as well.
Hacienda Jimenita has fabulous rooms and grounds with a 5000 year old tunnel. The vegetation, forest and canyon are wonderful. Meals ate excellent and well-priced, and Oscar makes a great martini. The staff is very welcoming.
This is our second time staying at this place. We enjoyed both visits very much. The place is a nature reserve with an abundance and different type of hummingbirds, Llamas and horses. The owner has two adorable and friendly dogs. The property also has hiking trails with beautiful forest plants and flowers. Rooms are clean and comfortable with a private bathroom. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with whatever you ask. They have a restaurant with an excellent chef. We never had any problems with their water or food.
We definitely will stay there again❣️
