Best hotel in the area with outstanding view
Best hotel in the Otavalo area, with an outstanding view and a very caring service. The fireplace was a particularly nice touch that you don't often find in hotels.
While the location and the staff cannot be faulted, the hotel clearly need some renovations in the spa and common areas. Also the rooms could do with a bit more equipment (although the staff did provide everything we asked for).
The two local guardian dogs Mia and Tia are incredibly friendly, and the surrounding area is very nice for a little nature walk.

Very beautiful mountain-side hotel. The view was amazing and they had horses that you could ride for a very reasonable price on a very scenic route.
Would highly recommend if going to lago san pablo.

Servicio de primera. Atención personalizada y amable. Instalaciones geniales con una vista increíble y excelente comida. Cuidado con los precios del transporte local que consigue el hotel. Son casi el doble el valor real de mercado.

The hotel is very beautiful and the staff was very helpful. However, we were the only guests at the property. I had purchased a King Suite through Expedia, but when I checked in they told me that I didn't pay enough for the suite and they tried to put me in a regular room. After waiting almost two hours they gave me the suite I paid for. The room and view were spectacular, but frustrating that they didn't honor the room I paid for on Expedia immediately.

My girlfriend and I had a great time at Medina del Lago.
This place has a gorgeous view from the rooms, lobby and restaurant. The food and service were fantastic. The staff was really friendly and made sure our stay was great. We enjoyed the use of the jacuzzi and sauna every day we were there (they also have a pool). For anyone having to work remotely, we had no problems with the wifi and were able to have Zoom video calls daily.
We are definitely planning to come back!

A beautiful place, top level.
Spectacular views of San Pablo lake and Imbabura mountain from everywhere at the hotel.
We had a two persons suite with beautiful views, a fireplace and a nice hot tub.
Food was delicious, the crew was so nice and thoughtful, there are beautiful paintings made by local artists everywhere and the whole experience is really satisfying.
The only downside- the isolation between rooms is pretty poor and we could hear everything that was happening and being said at the rooms around us.

I don’t usually bother rating hotels, but I felt I must because the people here were so kind, personal, and made everything we could have experienced better. If you are in the area of Otavalo and want to have a guarantee to have your trip better, stay here. I promise you, everything about this place is genuinely
good to the core. We even had the owner of the hotel give us a ride into town just out of kindness of her heart
