    Loved the food provided, the staff service and willingness to accommodate extra requests, and the facilities. The rooms are big, and designed in such a way that contact with nature is very present. A beautiful place to stay.

    The additional prices you face on location are very high. Drinks are very expensive and especially the tours are extremely overpriced. You can book the same tour in the city Tena for 1/3th of the price they charge in the Lodge.

    Location, service and sleeping in a tent in the middle of the jungle was great! The food is really good. Everything is super clean and the pool is a lovely place to relax.

    The property is beautiful! The bungalow was very private. You felt like you were part of the jungle when you opened the doors. The food was delicious! The staff was fantastic! This is a family run business, including the dog and the monkey! They had many good options for excursions.

    Luxury in the Amazon

    The only area for improvement would be the fact that the manager’s guard dog (we didn’t meet the manager) literally chased my husband, growling and barking, on our way to lunch. We like dogs as household pets but this dog displayed very aggressive, reactive behaviour that was frankly frightening. Whilst it is understandable to keep guard dogs to ward off predators/protect the property, we feel it is inappropriate for this type of dog to be roaming areas where guests inhabit with inadequate recall, including the food preparation area. I believe 4 guard dogs roam around at will. We were also concerned about the on-site semi domesticated monkey that also chased us (we were keen not to be bitten). I notice that the manager has responded defensively to feedback of this nature in the past but I would urge him or her to reflect on the comments rather than dismiss guest experiences. There is no need to get rid of the dogs but they do need to be under control or out of the guest areas.

    Beautiful accommodation with stunning Amazon views. The staff, especially Pablo and also Natalie were extremely kind and helpful, answering numerous whatsapps before and during the trip! 10/10 hospitality from both!

    We loved the lodge itself but were quite disappointed by the tours we did. (The nightwalk and parrot trip). They weren’t really as described and our guide was not very interested in showing us things/ telling us about the area.

    The rooms feel very secluded and luxurious. I was a bit worried about bugs but had minimal intrusions. Breakfast was excellent The hosts were so helpful and responsive helping us arrange transport in advance via WhatsApp and answering all our questions

    The drive up to the property on their long access road is not currently suited to anything but 4x4’s.

    Good boutique option with five cabins. The food was extremely good - great range of options and some of the best food we have had in Ecuador and Colombia. The range of tours available via Hamadryade’s operators is very good - Carlos was a great asset to the team. Cabins are very private - you really do feel like you are staying somewhat in the jungle here.

    it was amazing, both the receptionist (Angel & Natalia) were so nice they made the stay incredible for us and helped us with all the tours. our guide Carlos & his wife were also so friendly and helpful. the rooms are fabulous and the whole lodge is just absolutely beautiful. The shampoo and conditioner are so good, I wish we could buy them.

    Hamadryade offers a great experience, especially for the price. The rooms are luxurious and the overall facility is great. The food is really excellent, can be a bit pricey depending on your budget, but really the best food we had while in Ecuador. The activities we got the chance to do were really fulfilling and gave us a little look at the wildlife and culture in Puerto Misahuallí. With a little flexibility, this is a really amazing place to stay.

    Omission of a tea and coffee machine in the room. I like a cup of coffee when I get up but there was nothing other than waiting for breakfast. Similarly none available during the day. A small thing but to me would make a difference. The food was very tasty with fresh ingredients, except on our first night we gave our order and both mains were wrong. Otherwise, superb.

    Location, ambiance, really broad menu and food really well cooked and presented. Very comfortable

    - The dirt road up to the lodge was very challenging to drive with a (big) sedan - no 4wheel drive. This was a bit of a shame, because it made "coming home" after every trip (we stayed there for 5 nights) quite stressful. - We had cabana 4 - and really loved it, but it turned out that the hot water in the shower did not work. To me, however, it is important to have a warm shower after swimming as well as in the morning. On day 2 we reported the problem and were promised it would be fixed. Unfortunately, this seemed not possible. For 2 nights we moved to another cabana with warm water. We were told that in the mean time the plumber would come to fix. So for our last night, we moved back to cabana. 4. To our surprise and disappointment there still was no hot water in the shower. When I reported this, they just answered it was supposed to work, but nothing could be done now. Well this is a wellness lodge - and for me- part of wellness is hot water in the shower. Also, the lodge is not exactly cheap, As kind of compensation we were allowed to stay a bit longer on our last day and did not have to vacate the room at the set time. This meant we could enjoy a last relaxed swim in the pool, but nevertheless it left me rather unsatisfied. Shame, because the lodge as such is wonderful.

    - Staff was very friendly - Breakfast was delicious - there was a good choice of food. All prepared absolutely fresh and in nice quantity. - Very nice pool area, nice big clean pool - Beautiful garden surrounding the cabanas and the pool - Modern, spacey rooms, nice and many towels, very comfi beds, lovely bath products - Dinner is pricey but the food was very fresh and yummy - Free Wifi everywhere

    Everything was incredible. The only consideration for some people might be that it is a 20 minute taxi to town in Tena. A little far from restaurants etc. but for us was perfect and worth it to enjoy the beautiful sound of nature and get out of town. Easy to get taxis.

    This place was magical! It was truly the lodge of my dreams. I’ve travelled a lot - 50 + countries and this might be one of my favourite stays ever. It’s this little tropical oasis with a gorgeous pool, fantastic staff, great food, massages available on site, gorgeous bungalows. It was the best value compared to the similar lodges that were $800/night. Would highly recommend!

    nothing…. the staff are really considerate about all of their animals and if you are worried or scared, let them know and they will keep them from you….

    The staff could not be nicer at the Hamadrayde, the rooms were super clean, the pool gorgeous, spa treatments a real treat and food glorious…. we loved it!!! The staff really welcome you into their family, three dogs, a monkey and a coati…. all really friendly and not at all harmful. The coati comes to you for cuddles and nothing else…. the dogs bark and monkey climbs your legs….. it’s all lovely…. one big happy family….. the staff organised trips, treatments and made us feel very at home.

    The cabin was amazing- we had the 2 floor cabin and it had beautiful surroundings. It was spacious, comfortable, and the balcony was perfect for relaxing and hearing all of the surrounding sounds. The kids loved the pool, and the food was amazing. They also arranged for us to have a full day with a local guide, and that was the highlight of our trip.

    The food is excellent but pricey. For dinner you have to pay extra { breakfast is included in the price) and as an only option to eat at the hotel its a must to pay for it. We did not receive any written menu with prices only at check out we saw the amounts. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They organize you excursions l. They offer plane ride above the amazon, parrots clay lick, walks and many more.

    The rooms have fans rather than Aircon which was fine for us, but just a note for those that struggle in high heat and humidity.

    The staff could not have been friendlier and the food was consistently delicious. The lodge is set in a beautiful location overlooking a canopy of tropical flora, with views out over the Napo valley. We saw beautiful stars, swam in the refreshing eco-pool and found it a perfect base for exploring Puerto Misahualli, the Napo Valley, and Tena. We had no issues with any of the animals like others have mentioned.
