Beautiful property close to airport. If it wasn’t for the occasional plane you would think you were in the middle of the country side. The dinner was delicious with a complimentary tamale to start and the mushroom pasta was to die for. The room was beautiful with a wood fireplace, heated duvet, large bathroom and amazing shower. I would definitely stay here

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.

Lovely—and birdy

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.

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.

8/10 Very good

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

Property is perfect - service not so

Beautiful property set next to an impressive canyon in excellent location close to the airport. Restaurant is very disappointing both in terms of service and food quality.

Our first night was a bit rocky — our room was in the Historic area of the hotel, close to the road, and we could hear a neighboring dog barking. The next morning at breakfast, we only saw coffee, toast, cereal, and fruit, so we thought that was all that was available. After we started eating, a staff member arrived and took our order — and we ended up having a delicious hot breakfast. We really enjoyed exploring the beautiful property. It was quiet, peaceful, and full of birdlife, which made for a lovely experience. We noticed a few empty rooms and asked reception if we could move due to the noise, and the staff responded quickly and kindly accommodated our request. The rest of our stay was excellent — we had a wonderful dinner and breakfast the next day. Overall, a relaxing stay in a beautiful setting. We would recommend this property.

Excellent Stay - love the birds and nature

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.

Beautiful facility, but lack of heat in room

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.

This hotel is a hidden gem in Ecuador. We stayed here for 3 nights after a very busy week in the Galápagos, and it was the perfect end to our trip. The breakfast and dinners were huge portions and always delicious. The staff were incredibly helpful and always available for any questions. You can hike around the grounds to some amazing view points of Quito and the Andes mountains, and the caves are so interesting which you need a visit with a guide, but again they were really lovely and interesting to listen to. The hotel itself is beautiful, full of character and surrounded by amazing birds! A very relaxing retreat which I would highly recommend :) Thank you so much for an incredible stay.

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.

2/10 Poor

This property is in a terrible, unsafe neighborhood ! Not sure how they can call this a “wildlife or wilderness reserve “. That is false advertising. Could not sleep at night with all the dogs barking and planes coming and landing overhead. The rooms had bugs crawling on the floor and doorknobs fell off when used them. We were to stay there for 3 nights a but checked out after 1 night. They did make a good pizza…!

Talk about a hidden gem...

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.
