The hype
Travelers universally love the private pools and heated floors, calling it a magical, misty escape.
Termas de Papallacta
$150-250/คืน
จองหาก You want to marinate in volcanic water at 10,000 feet while mist rolls off the Andes, and you don't mind wearing a fleece to dinner.
ทำไมคนถึงชอบ
- 24/7 access to private thermal pools right outside your room door
- Heated floors in the rooms that save you from the paramo chill
- The 'Spa' pools (separate fee) are world-class hydrotherapy circuits
สรุปด่วน: It’s the best hot springs resort in Ecuador, but the food is just okay and the altitude will humble you if you rush.
รีวิวโดย @ScottsdaleTravelChick: I felt like I was floating in the clouds here. The thermal pools are naturally heated by volcanoes, and the gardens are stunning. It’s the perfect cold-weather escape—just make sure to bring a warm jacket for when you get out!

Reality check
The on-site restaurant is pricey for Ecuador with service that can be 'island time' slow, and the food often lacks punch.
- You love the idea of waking up and stepping directly into a hot spring
- You want a romantic disconnect with zero cell service distractions (though wifi exists)
- You are hiking the nearby Cayambe-Coca reserve and need a luxury basecamp
ความสะอาดและการบำรุงรักษา
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. They are aggressive about towel replacement.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. No reports of mold despite the high humidity environment.
- Maintenance: Pools are drained and scrubbed nightly. Some wood in older cabins shows weather wear.
- Linens & towels: Thick, heavy blankets for the cold nights. Towels are plentiful but can feel a bit rough after many washes.
- Odors & scents: Surprisingly little sulfur smell. The air smells like wet earth and eucalyptus.

ก่อนที่คุณจะจอง
สิ่งที่ควรรู้
- Hotel guests get free access to the 'Balneario' (public pools) but NOT the 'Spa' pools (exclusive area).
- The 'Spa' pools cost ~$22 extra (guests get ~15% off) but are worth it for the hydrotherapy jets and luxury changing rooms.
- Daytime weather is cool; nighttime is freezing. Bring layers.
สิ่งที่ควรเตรียมตัว
- Waterproof sandals/flip-flops (you will live in them)
- A warm beanie/hat (for keeping your head warm while your body soaks)
- High-SPF sunscreen (the UV at this altitude burns instantly, even through clouds)
Room Genie
เลือกสรรยอด
- Suite with Jacuzzi (newer, king bed, private indoor tub)
- Family Bungalows (two stories, fireplace, right in front of semi-private pools)
ห้องที่ควรหลีกเลี่ยง
- Standard rooms closest to the public entrance/parking lot (more foot traffic noise)

“I would love to request a room or bungalow in the 'South Cabins' area if possible, away from the main walkway, to ensure a quiet sleep.”
คำถามที่พบบ่อย & เคล็ดลับที่ซ่อนอยู่
ทุกสิ่งที่คุณต้องการรู้จริงๆ ก่อนที่จะจอง
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a full buffet breakfast is included for overnight guests and is generally rated better than dinner.
Can I bring my pet?
No, pets are strictly prohibited. Only service animals are allowed.
Do I need to book the Spa pools in advance?
It is recommended on weekends, but on weekdays you can usually walk in. Hotel guests get a discount.
Is there cell service?
It is very spotty. The hotel wifi is usable for emails but don't count on streaming 4K video.
How far is it from Quito Airport?
About 45-60 minutes. It's a great first or last stop on an Ecuador trip.
Are the pools open 24 hours?
The pools directly outside the hotel rooms/cabins are open 24/7. The public and spa pools close around 9 PM.
เคล็ดลับท่องเที่ยว
- ✨
Buy a bag of marshmallows in Quito before you come; roasting them in the fireplace (if you get the wood lit) is a vibe.
- ✨
Drink coca tea immediately upon arrival to help with the altitude headache.
- ✨
The 'Trout with Almonds' is the safest and most consistent dish on the dinner menu.
5 สิ่งที่ต้องรู้ก่อนเดินทาง
💡The hotel pools are emptied and scrubbed late at night/early morning, so they are freshest at 7 AM.
💡You can actually drink the tap water in the resort (they treat it), but most guests stick to bottled to be safe.
💡The 'exclusive' hotel guest pools can feel a bit shallow compared to the deep public pools.
💡There is a 'Polar Plunge' cold pool in the Spa section that is legitimately freezing river water.
💡The path to the rooms is cobblestone and uneven—suitcases with small wheels will struggle.
