Hamadryade Lodge

Hamadryade Lodge is a true hidden gem in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The warm hospitality, attentive service, and delicious food made our stay unforgettable. Surrounded by nature, it was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect. We left feeling rested, grateful, and already wishing we could stay longer. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, comfort, and an authentic rainforest experience.

Just check the bill before paying as they made a mistake of double charging us with the activity or dinner.

The staff were so kind and helpful. The food was amazing. Our accommodations were spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location was amazing, surrounded by rainforest sights and sounds. All the other amenities; the pool, fire pit, the bar area, were well maintained and comfortable.

We liked everything!

Absolutely everything.

I have no negative feedback

the property is beautiful and the staff are very warm and friendly. Super hot water in the shower and the water pressure was GREAT! Breakfast is VERY good. Tours with Javier are very good, my young adult sons had a lot of fun with him. Natalie arranged a couples massage for me and hubby just past the closing time to accommodate our late return to the property. The pool was clean and beautiful - and cool enough to be refreshing after a long hot day in the Amazon. The staff will call you a cab so you can go down to Mishualli.

I'm not sure where to begin with this one. The tours with Carlos in particular were terrible and not worth the money. We went on the night walk shortly after arriving on property. He talked on his cell phone numerous times and left us waiting for him to finish his call in the pitch black jungle. He pointed out 3 bugs and a gecko, the 45 minute jungle walk includes checking out the glamping tents and the spa. We do understand that it is the jungle and you can't guarantee any sightings but to have to stop and check out a tent and listen to cell phone calls was ridiculous. The following morning we went fishing with Carlos - I can't even begin to tell you how awful this was. The saying "a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work" - not true for this trip. I would have rather been at work. The tour says traps, hooks and cast nets - nope its just a hook on a line with chicken guts, standing on a rocky beach for hours getting eaten alive by mosquitos to catch nothing. The rooms do not have a coffee maker and the kitchen doesn't open until 7. I'm an early riser and having to wait 2 hours for coffee was ridiculous. Speaking of that balcony - the sliding glass doors do not have any curtains so your first thought when you come in the cabin is "Wow how beautiful" but if you are trying to sleep past 6 am you are SOL. And those same balcony doors do not have screens and your cabin is HOT; your choice is to be eaten alive at night by bugs or sleep hot. There is no A/C and the room has a small fan positioned over the bed that does not oscillate. The sheets were threadbare and pilled. We slept terrible all 3 nights here. The spa was lovely until the owners 4 large guard dogs started barking and barked almost my entire 75 minute spa treatment. We really do love dogs but these dogs roam the property and can be unsettleing when they rush up to you barking as if they are ready to attack.
