Relaxing
Lazy day today. We had an amazing breakfast at about 8:30 then went into town to cash up some Amex cheques. Pichincha bank wouldn't do it!

“ Clean, Pleasant, would recommend ”
Reviewed Aug 3, 2011
The food is fantastic, and good value. The room we have has a lovely view of the waterfall and a balcony. Hot showers, very close to town and the hot springs but not noisy. Would recommend.
