Ecuadorian Amazon hotel guide. Independent hotel in Ecuadorian Amazon, Ecuador

"The location of the hotel is excellent: next to hot springs and five minutes walking to the town center. The buildings are old but functional and the rooms are suite type. There are onsite restaurants and many excellent restaurants nearby."

"Breakfast menu is excellent t and fresh!"

"This was our 2nd stay. We only had a few hours as we had an early morning flight. The grounds are stunning, the food delicious, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Wonderful stay!"

" Very helpful staff, they overbooked my room and gave me an upgraded room at a different hotel for the inconvenience. Excellent place to stay."

"Our stay at Samari Spa Resort was truly unforgettable. The property itself is absolutely stunning—elegant, peaceful, and surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, we could feel that this was a special place. What made our experience even more meaningful, though, was the warmth of the staff. Every single person—from reception to the restaurant—was not only professional, but genuinely kind and welcoming. They created an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and incredibly comfortable, which is not always easy to find. Traveling with young children (ages five and three), we weren’t sure what to expect at a more upscale resort, but it exceeded all expectations. Our kids had an amazing time, especially enjoying the chocolate massage and the pool area. It meant so much to us to see them so happy and included. Between the beautiful setting, the thoughtful details, and the heartfelt hospitality, we created memories we will cherish for a long time. We still find ourselves talking about how warm and special our experience was. We can’t recommend this place enough."

"I’ve stayed at this hotel twice now and had excellent experiences both times."

"I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Deluxe Volcan! There’s no better way to experience the beauty of Baños. This boutique hotel hosts only four rooms, which creates a sense of exclusivity and allows for very personalized service. I truly appreciated how friendly and attentive the staff were throughout my stay. I was warmly welcomed with a drink and given a detailed overview of the area. I also valued the daily advice I received from the staff on how to best experience Baños—they really helped elevate my trip. The views from the rooms are what truly set this hotel apart. Please make this place part of your itinerary when visiting Baños—it won’t disappoint."

"Excellent property, everything is clean, wonderful view."

"The Gran Hotel was wonderful. After coming out of the deep Amazon we were excited to have some plush accommodations. This hotel fits that bill. The property is truly like a resort. The pool and surrounding area is relaxing and felt like a vacation getaway. The breakfast buffet was excellent with many options and great local cuisine. I would highly recommend this hotel."
