We stayed in cabin #12 which is quite a ways from the main lodge down a fairly steep gravel road. While we did not mind this, it is a bit of a walk to get to the restaurant and walking back to the cabin in the dark needs care. So you may want to ask for a cabin closer to... More

It is not in Mindo, but 15 mins drive away. However it is a self contained resort. You can do zip lining, hiking, bird watching etc right there! In fact, we saw some pretty spectacular birds (quetzal) right there. Many birding guides told us that some rarer birds like the umbrella birds are better spotted at the lodge itself! The... More

We spent two very relaxing days at Sachatamia. Our main building accommodation was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and the food good. Even those not particularly interested in birds will love watching the Hummingbirds flit around in the beautiful gardens. The lodge trail is also worth walking - it is not arduous. If you are a 'twitcher'... More

This is a true sanctuary for body, mind and spirit. We stayed in a suite, which was a cabin near the hummingbird lagoon. I am not an avid bird watcher, but my husband is, we both enjoyed the wildlife and noted the ease of bird sighting! You can choose between an all-meal inclusive plan or you can go elsewhere for...

Want to see Ecuadorian birdlife, then this is a great place to see a good variety including many hummingbird species - up close (within 1 metre). Make sure you stay at the lodge. Day visitors will not get such a spectacle as the largest quantities of flying visitors arrive early in the morning - your camera will certainly get a... More

We really wanted to stay there for 3 nights, BUT......as we were driving there the police stopped us because of a major landslide and said the road would be closed for 15 hours....this was at 3pm! We, gringos, asked for another way to get there....sent 2 hours the wrong direction to a town that did NOT have a road to... More

We enjoyed everything about Sachatamia, except the low water pressure in the shower

We had a cabin under tree ferns and banana trees. Cold when we arrived but they put a heater in and then it was fine. The main lodge had the dining room - and hummingbird feeders. We spent hours watching the birds and taking photos. Also walked the trail through the jungle-like environment. Comfortable and exotic lodge!

We stayed here in the lodge building for 3 nights, the service we received was very mixed - one minute very good, next only average. The bird feeding stations are amazing to see, make sure you have a good camera. The big windows around the restaurant were nice to watch the birds whilst you eat and not so nice to... More
