Relax and recharge
Hosteria Papagayo was a lovely place for us to rest and relax after hiking Quilatoa and Cotopaxi. We enjoyed exploring the farm - free ranging chickens, ducks, cow etc - with our 2 year old son. The room was nicely furnished and the breakfast was good. Wifi was good and water pressure/temperature was good. The hotel staff also kindly accommodated our food requests.
Some negatives: There was not much else to do on the property or in the surrounding area. It was expensive to get transportation in and out of the property. Laundry was expensive as well. The playground was not really usable (dirty, and the slides and seesaw were just way to steep for anyone to use) - a minor detail for anyone with kids. We also had a slight concern with the way the property handled guests' private information and hope that they had taken appropriate measures after we alerted them of it.
Overall, it was a lovely place to stay for us to rest and recharge before we proceeded on for the rest of our trip and we were appreciative of the staff accommodating our various special requests. The room rates were considerably lower than other similar "farm"/resort properties in the area, which perhaps compensated for the more expensive incidental costs. Probably more suited for guests who have their own transportation to travel around the area.
