Agree with much of the positivity expressed above, but there were certainly some issues that needed to be addressed. There was a beehive in the roof overhang of the Rinconcito and bees had gotten inside. My wife was stung by one inside our room, and we killed a couple upstairs where her parents were staying. In addition, in the lower Rinconcito room there is s serious problem where when the bathhoom light is on the shower knobs become ELECTRIFIED. I kid you not my wife and I were both SHOCKED MULTIPLE TIMES whilst trying to turn the shower off until we figured out that if we showered in the dark this wasn't a problem. She told some of the people who worked there and was shrugged off. There was also a light that didn't turn on in our bedroom and the maps for local hikes are incomplete to the point of being almost useless for self-guided stuff.
Overall the woodwork, the food, the space and atmosphere in general were great. But whoever the fixers there are need to get to work!

I have been living in Ecuador from end of 2007 till half 2010. One of the things I did as a volunteer for our foundation, was teaching English at the school in Chugchilán. My home in the beautiful Andes village was the hostal of Mama Hilda and I really really loved it! Papi and Mami are such friendly, heartily people, as all the other personnel. I really miss you all and I am happy that I will be coming back at the end of 2011. I am sure that I will again spend wonderful times with you!
Muchísimas gracias por su amistad, siempre pensando en ustedes -inecita
