Hostería Ojo de Agua

No esperaba encontrar un hotel así en una ciudad tan pequeña como Loreto. Realmente una absoluta sorpresa. Es perfecto tanto para quien va por trabajo (la habitación tiene todo lo necesario para hacerlo) como para quien va de turismo. La habitación es linda, el hotel precioso, pero lo mejor, la calidad del servicio, absolutamente amable y personalizado. Realmente una joya.

I stayed at Hosteria Ojo de Agua for four nights during a just-completed bird photography tour. This establishment far exceeded my expectations. It is a fabulously well-run quasi-resort with a large swimming pool, a fish pond with spectacular Amazonian species, and well-landscaped grounds. In the rooms, everything works: the water in the shower is hot, the air conditioning system is efficient and quiet, and the housekeeping staff does a first-rate job.The food at the small outdoor meal area is well-prepared. My only small complaint was, instant coffee--really? I even got some laundry done, quickly and at a reasonable cost. The woman who makes the place run so smoothly is the energetic, friendly Fernanda, who does a simply remarkable job of making each guest feel welcome and valued. I know that Loreto is well off the beaten path for most people, but if you ever visit the Amazonian part of Ecuador, this is a fine place to stay.
