What a wonderful place to stay! Had some difficulty finding it, as I was driving alone and my Spanish is terrible, but once I arrived, I had zero complaints! There are two Balcon del Lagos on Google Maps, make sure to go to the one closer to the lake. The staff is extremely friendly, and truly care about your experience. The cabins themselves have stunning views, hot water, and are very cozy. I would highly recommend staying here, for a fun and authentic Ecuadorian experience!

The view was great. There was no sound proofing so you would hear everything from the outside, the multiple dog fights during the night, the neighbor's loud music, people having sex in the cabin next door, the roosters from 4am.

Awesome view!
A beautiful stay!! Jessica, Efrain and Andres were so wonderful, warm and welcoming. Rooms have an awesome view but getting there was a little tricky. I read the reviews ahead of time and followed the directions that someone posted because our GPS on our rental car did not find the lodge. We looked for the man on a horse as land mark and made the turn on the church. Road was mostly dirt. The couple of down falls of the place was the small signs to guide you there and the hot water. We could only get hot water if you turned it at very low pressure, but glad we had some hot water! Quick showers is the way to go. If you just follow the mark points it's easy to get there and a must stay! Food was great, close to site seeing and hospitality was 5 stars. Would recommend this without hesitation.
