Kapari Natural Lodge & Spa

It was an amazing rain forest experience with the best employee service and a spectacular view of the rainforest and rio Blanco. The night walk with Jose was unforgettable and he showed us many native species including a monkey.

Stayed at Kapari for three nights in April. This is a lovely 12 room hotel. We had a larger room with two double or queen beds. We were on the bottom /lower floor totally private on the edge of the property. Loved our room! We had an incredible view with a large floor to ceiling glass window wall looking over the beautiful cloud forest. The staff was outstanding. The Manager, Jose, was a marvelous host and very helpful at all times. The bartender and server, also Jose, was warm, engaging and excellent at his job. We had a guide just for us. Other guests also had a guide. The hotel had low occupancy during our visit and they bent over backwards to provide us any service we needed. The entire staff was great. I knew all their names when I left but didn't write them down - Darn. Wish I could mention them all. All were so friendly and helpful. There are four activities with a guide per day. Early morning birdwatching, two day hikes, evening walks, and hummingbird feeders in special area... and of course swimming and resting if you didn't want to do all the activities. Photo attached of schedule. My partner did do them all. I did not and booked a hot rock massage which Manager Jose arranged. It was wonderful. There is a nice tranquil spa room they have a masseuse come in from town for bookings. Once at the hotel you will find needing things to support your activities. Rain/mud boots, walking sticks, umbrellas, yoga matts, hairdryer etc. Anything you ask for Lilianna ( head of housekeeping) appears with item for you! She is amazing. Also photo attached of all the gear we borrowed. We ate all our meals at Kapari. Lovely food. Simple, healthy and delicious. They didn't have a wine by the glass that I like and they went out and secured me a few bottles of better wine for me. They were always ready for my glass of wine needs. Top service! It is about 3 hours from Quito. It is on the equator exactly. You can take a picture 5 minutes down a trail and you on 0°N 0°E There is a town or two nearby we drove through but didn't go back to visit. But you can if you want to leave the property. Absolutely a lovely place to visit.

Love the service… the people working there make every effort to make your stay a memorable experience. However I think the beds where kind of small and also they put a baby in the room next door and was impossible for me and my family to get a good night sleep

We stayed at Kapari Natural Lodge & Spa for three nights. Everything was perfect from the scenic drive there to the delicious meals to daily walks and birdwatching with professional guides. The rooms were lovely, beds comfortable and night sounds lulled us to sleep each night. Service was wonderful and the staff treated us like family.

Our group of 11 stayed at Kapari for 2 nights, 3 days. Our stay was incredible. The tours through nature with an experienced guide will take your breath away, and the food is local, fresh and incredibly tasty. The service at the lodge is amazing, and if you are hoping to relax, their SPA menu includes many different options - all equally amazing.

We stayed with our birding group just one night - but it was long enough to appreciate Kapari Lodge's commitment to customer service and to enjoy the space. We were met at the entrance gate and oriented to the grounds before being getting shown to our rooms. The pool/bar area is wonderful even if all you do is sit by the pool and sip your drink. The meals are well-prepared and very tasty and the rooms are modern and very spacious with a great view over the Rio Blanco. The bird feeding areas are a delight - and there are several of those on the property so be sure to locate them all. The walk "down the hill" on a forested path could have been dangerously slippy, but very tactile pavers are used on that trail and others around the property - it makes a huge difference. A very short but lovely stay!

Un lugar hermoso, para desconect**** de lo cotidiano de la ciudad y poder relaj**** con el sonido de la naturaleza. Los senderos, excelente experiencia en el avistamiento de animales del bosque. Recomendado
