The River House Hotel  

On the riverwalk in Puerto Quito, The River House sits 4 km from the town center. Waterfall chases are easy — Macallares Waterfall and Yaussa Cocoa Farm are about a 15-minute drive, with CHICAO Cocoa Farm and Caiman Waterfall a bit farther out. A true riverfront, family-friendly lodge vibe.

Only five individually decorated rooms give this place a boutique feel. Expect memory-foam beds with down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets, private furnished balconies, mini-bars and smart speakers. Bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. The mood is sophisticated yet comfy — great for couples, families, or anyone who loves a curated stay.

Wake up to river-breeze mornings and unwind in the spa and massage rooms or by the outdoor pool and lazy river. Stay active in the gym and yoga area or rent bicycles for local rides. Extras include karaoke, a library, picnic and BBQ areas, a doctor on call, babysitting (surcharge), and pet-friendly rooms. Free self-parking and airport shuttle service are available (shuttle for a surcharge).

Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected. A conference hall and concierge services make small events and meetings simple. Express check-out, laundry services and multilingual staff help make business travel smooth.

Grab a local-cuisine breakfast served daily from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM, then linger over coffee or snacks in the café. The on-site restaurant highlights regional flavors and the bar/lounge is perfect for evening drinks. Limited-hours room service is also available.
