Hotels in Puembo with Swimming Pools

Very helpful and friendly staff and many spoke English. Our room was in the ”modern wing” which had posted signs in the hallways asking that you keep quiet. Filtered water was available from 5-gallon jugs at multiple locations in the hallways. The room itself was very comfortable. The bathroom area had two sinks, plenty of counterspace, and separate ”rooms” for toilet and shower. Room also had a safe. No A/C but windows did open -- and there was an overhead fan. You are able to close the window when sleeping and able to block much of the noise from overhead planes. Had two sets of blinds to block out any light. The grounds were well manicured and attracted various birds, to include the gorgeous Vermillion Flycatcher (see photo). At least three Llamas roam the grounds and the friendly house-cat, Sylvestre, stopped by to say hello several times (we sought him out the 2nd night). The restaurant had a large dinner menu and offered a nice selection of local dishes that were freshly prepared. We ate two breakfasts - buffet style; fresh fruit, cereal, breads, cold meats and cheese plus hot items (scrambled eggs offered each day). At one end of the parking lot there is access to a nice trail and the neighboring farm - we walked around this area and felt safe at all times. While we had our own airport-transfer organized, the hotel does state that they offer this service. It's about a 20-25 minute drive to the airport. For bird-watchers, there is an eBird location called ”Hosteria San Jose de Puembo.”

We stayed in Room 16 in late June. Some of our travel companions were in other rooms in the new wing -- Rooms 14-17. These rooms were not ready for guest stay. In full disclosure, our travel company made a last-minute booking due to demonstrations in Quito; however, this room would be considered uninhabitable by U.S. standards. We were told that for service, we should send a message to the front desk using WhatsApp. That was difficult because the room had spotty wifi and mobile phone coverage was somewhat weak in the area. For dinner one night, we chose room service. We learned that the link to the restaurant menu was not valid – the menu was different that night. So I walked to the restaurant to get a menu from them and ordered via WhatsApp from the hotel lobby. I’m sure the rooms will be suitable and lovely when live wires are capped; door handles are installed; the wood cabinets are varnished so people can’t get splinters; the leaks in the ceiling are plugged; the rear patio is finished and accessible; a means of contacting the front desk is available; bathroom installation is complete; door handles are installed; wifi reaches the new wing; shower gel is readily available; a hair dryer is included in the room; a luggage rack is made available; furniture is added; the TV is made functional; the fireplace is ready for use; the walkway to the room is given more space before a precarious 2-meter drop-off; the septic smell is flushed out; blackout curtains are installed; etc. Until then, I recommend avoiding these new, incomplete rooms. On the positive side, the hotel manager did what he could to help us make the most of our stay, the front desk staff was exceptionally friendly, and the hotel’s continental breakfast was nicely prepared.
