Hamadryade Lodge

We stayed in cabin 2 for 3 nights. The rooms are very nice with wonderful jungle views. The receptionist is very helpful and provided information about what to do. There was a power outage and he brought a flashlight to our room without even asking. The road can be accessed with a normal car, despite what other reviews suggest. Things to improve: - water pressure is very low and it takes some time to shower, especially with long hair - the dogs sometimes scared me - breakfast is good, but you order the night before (there is a piece of paper where you easily put checkmarks on what you want to eat). BUT our breakfast was different than what we ordered every morning, at some point it even became funny that we told the server (in Spanish) that this is definitely not our breakfast and she apologized saying that she found our order. Then, she proceeded to replace the French toast and pancakes with crepes, even if we ordered bread. Forgot the fruit salad and brought boiled eggs instead of fried eggs. - food takes almost an hour to prepare, even when you order soup - we drank two bottles of wine (one Roze and one Red) for 40$ each. The wine was average and can be found for 10$ on a quick search. We still give 5 stars because of the jungle views, room quality, location and receptionist. Solve all issues because we will come back!

When my husband and I first arrived we knew we had to adjust to our surroundings. We really wanted to immerse ourselves in Amazonia. This lodge is in the jungle so you should set your expectations accordingly. 1) I found the property to be beautiful and well kept. Every day people were cleaning and working around the lodge. Our room was tidied up every day. 2) They provide breakfast, which you order the night before. It arrived at the time we requested each day. We also had dinner each night. We ordered in advance and it arrived at the time we requested each evening. 3) The manager booked our activities each day. The only one we booked on our own was white water rafting. We booked the following tours through the lodge: Waterfall las Latas, Tubing, Machacu Walk, Ceibo walk, Paikawe Lagoon, and Cacoa Tour. Favorite tours: Waterfall las Latas, Tubing, and Paikawe Lagoon. We would do these all again. A very good experience. Least favorite tours: Machacu Walk and Cacoa Tour. Special note: Carlos our guide was very very nice and spent most of our second day with us. We even had lunch in town with him which was very special. His son Javier was our guide on our first day and took to the falls and tubing. He was very sweet and did a great job. We had a very good experience at Hamadryade. There are 3 dogs living on the property. The dogs were friendly as well as Frida the monkey that hangs around the lodge. There were a couple areas that seemed a little tired, but I would expect that given that it’s in the jungle. The large couch located in the lower section was pretty beaten up by the environment so we didn’t sit there. It would be difficult to keep that looking fresh given the surroundings. Not a problem for us. The only thing that would have been nice is if they had large screens in your room so you can keep the sliding door open at night to get a little breeze but keep the bugs out.
