Book a hotel near Cotocachi National Park, Apuela

"We couldn't have picked a better place to stay. This apartment was even better than we hoped. Everything was immaculate, the location was perfect. Yes, there was a little noise at times, but you are right in the middle of town and so that is to be expected - it certainly wasn't a problem. the manager, Rafael, was excellent and arranged a driver from the airport and then on to our next destination, Mindo. The driver, Emerson, was probably the safest driver in Ecuador! All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in the magical town of Cotacachi. "

"We loved this hotel and were sorry that we could only spend one night there. The room was great, we had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant, and we can't say enough about the staff--they were so helpful and generous with their time. We hope we can come back soon."

"The property has an amazing view of both mountains and volcanoes. It’s a 10 minute walk into downtown where there’s ample shopping and dining. It is a three dollar taxi ride to La Mirage a must stop for exquisite dining! Breakfast was included and ample to start your day! Owner is fluent in English and is happy to assist your needs! Beautiful facility and a relaxing setting!! Totally recommend! "

"Incredible stay and service to relax, eat well and get to know the surroundings "

"It was nice. "

"We rented the 3BR/3BA unit that is the entire upstairs level of Watzara Wasi. What an incredible and beautifully constructed place! The owner, Rolando, and his lovely wife and kids live downstairs. They allowed us complete privacy but were always available if we needed anything. We purposely chose to stay here, outside of the main area of Cotacachi, because we wanted to be in a more rural area with local people. Every day we heard the sounds of roosters, pigs, cows, and dogs instead of buses and trucks. Rolando's dogs and cat greeted us every day too! There are gorgeous views of Volcano Cotacachi from one side of the house and of Volcano Imbabura from the other. Everything was very beautiful and tranquilo, and we loved just hanging around the apartment because it felt so comfortable. As far as amenities go, the beds and couches are very comfortable and the showers have plenty of hot water and good water pressure. There is ample counter space in the kitchen. There is a washing machine downstairs that is shared with the family and a huge terrace to hang your clothes to dry. There are two fireplaces, which we didn't use, but which are beautiful nonetheless. Every day we walked about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace to go into town, where the shops, restaurants, and market are. $2 taxis were always available if we felt too lazy to walk back. Our stay was perfect!!"
