Beautiful hotel and grounds with wonderful views off our back deck. The 2 person jetted tube was just what was needed after a day long hiking treks. Friendly and professional staff and we enjoyed a very good dinner on site and the included breakfast had several options and you can choose all you wish to eat.

This is a hidden gem. With easy access to all the activities in Mindo, this little resort has it all. When you arrive you are warmly greeted and the staff is eager to help make your stay memorable. The rooms are luxurious and the offer incredible views of the cloud forest. The food is incredible, the pool is gorgeous, and the surrounding environment is breathtaking. I can't wait to go back.

Staff are terrific; Marco was so friendly and accommodating and kind. Pool was lovely (that's one of the reasons we chose this hotel). Dinner food was just ok -- and overpriced for Ecuador. Private terrace off the room was serene. Just be sure to bring mosquito/bug repellent; you'll need it. Cost of hotel is really high for Ecuador and as a result, all the guests we met seemed to be American. One small complaint: The cleaning solution used is really strong and chemical-smelling (but the room and grounds are immaculate!); And I can't say enough good about the staff.

Hello Heather,Thank you a lot for your review, we always try our best and our guest have the best possible experience.We want to reconfirm our menu price is 25, with starter, main dish, dessert and drink. We have also options like main dish only, salad, or snacks.Bungalow booked was Suite Master which is the new ones we have and the best option. Almost fully booked for July. We have guests from United States, Canada, many countries of Europe and of course many guests from Ecuador, mostly in weekends and national holidays.We will check about the cleaning solution, sorry about this. We use smell of lavender. We will check some more options.Thank you again for your review. It makes us very happy and to continue trying our best.

This is a very special place. The staff is lovely and really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Mindo is beautiful. From Las Terrazas we were able to walk to the waterfall chairlift, the butterfly house, the tubing operation, the ziplines, etc… It is the perfect combination of remote and convenient. The restaurant is fantastic, the prices are great. I really can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Truly an experience of a lifetime
This place is amazing, the bungalow was very clean and spacious with a lovely terrace overlooking the mountains with humming birds and toucans in the garden and the sound of the river below. This is the great for nature, bird watching and enjoying delicious local fine dining. We stayed longer than expected as it was such a lovely experience. David and Anna and their staff are fantastic hosts, they can not do enough for you to make the whole experience a welcome memory that will last a lifetime. Tours are available from this accommodation so no need to book any in advance, it’s a short stroll from the town but far enough away for that total natural experience. If you are in Ecuador visit Mindo and see for yourselves.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay at Dana over the past few days. The bungalows are spacious, immaculately clean. And so well-designed. The view from our mountain facing bungalow was breathtaking. David is an absolute prince and his staff truly the best. My partner coordinated a romantic few days for my birthday and not only did they hell by decorating the room in flower petals and delicious chocolates, they went as far as preparing a cake for us. Speaking of food- the culinary experience is 10/10. My favorite part would have had to be having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Andes mountains. I can’t say enough about this place!

Dana lodge is a very special place located in the idyllic beauty of Mindo countryside. Our well appointed and spacious room provided a very private open patio overlooking the mountains, flora and fauna, alive with so many beautiful birds. Owner David, arranged an incredible birding experience with a expert naturalist Nelson. Binoculars and guide books were even provided. We were given wonderful suggestions Which allowed us to take in so much of Mindo’s charm. I cannot say enough about the delicious food, coffee and fresh juices! Everything we had was wonderful and provided with the most pleasant and personalized service - right to our private patio! This is absolutely a most unique gem and I hope to return!

The property is kind of remote and the road to get here is really bumpy and they are currently doing construction to place a pool and other upgrades. Having said that, I would not pass on this property. We had the same view this couple has. Breakfast on the balcony in the morning sunshine with the Mindo mountains in the backgrounds was priceless. There are hummingbird feeders to get some shots of some new hummers I had never seen before. Would highly recommend.

Perfect
We loved it here! We stayed at a few different lodges in Mindo and Las Terrazas De Dana was our favorite. Ana, David and staff were amazing and the level of service is the best I've experienced anywhere. They do everything they can to make your stay in Mindo perfect. The lodge and rooms are beautiful, modern, extremely clean and comfortable. It's a great place to unwind after a day of activities and also relax all day like at an all-inclusive resort. We loved having a private balcony to enjoy our meals and take in the views, butterflies and hummingbirds. You can see all of the love, detail, and care that is put into the lodge to make it comfortable and keep it fresh and clean (no smell of humidity like some other lodges in Mindo). We loved our stay and didn't want to leave! We hope to return soon.

Absolutely wonderful stay! Highly recommend!
Our stay was truly amazing in every way. Service was outstanding. First, the owners, David and Anna, made us feel so welcome and were as hospitable as can be. They let us use some of their personal insect repellent, loaned us their personal charger that I needed to charge my computer, drove us to the bus station, loaned us binoculars, and were generally friendly and helpful in every way possible. Alejandro, the receptionist and cook, did a really professional job and was also attentive and accommodating to our needs, as was Elizabeth and all of the employees! Cannot say enough wonderful things about the beauty of the lodge. One step outside and we were in the midst of a beautiful garden with a spectacular variety of blooming tropical plants. Every time we walked from our front door to reception we noticed another beautiful bloom. The accommodations themselves were very comfortable and beautifully appointed with wood accents, a large shower, and a hot tub. Breakfast was served either in the restaurant or in the room, as requested. Plentiful and delicious, breakfast out on the deck was delightful. One night we ate dinner out on the deck, and we highly recommend the trout! Scrumptious! So glad we chose to stay at Las Terrazas!

We had an AMAZING stay at Terrazas de DANA! The service was above and beyond, the food was delicious, the view was breathtaking, the privacy and seclusion was very much appreciated! This is a fantastic place for couples, even if you have never been before! The owner, Ana, was so informative and helpful to us, she even went to town and brought us a bottle of champagne when she found out we were celebrating our wedding Anniversary! One of the employees acted as our guide to an amazing waterfall, Thanks Alex! 5 out of 5 stars from this very happy couple! Will stay here again :)
