Even thought I read many review complaning about the acces road to this beautiful hotel, It is far from true, I got there in a very low automobile in a very rainy day and it wasnt so hard as I thought. The first thing that would cross your mind If you ever been before in Ibarra is "Why you havent... More

This place was absolutely amazing! The best time of day to go up is right before sunset (around 5pm everyday). After a winding, climbing road that you aren't sure is ever going to end, you finally stumble upon the beautiful entrance of La Estelita. And you realize it was well worth the wait. With it's eucalyptus tree-lined driveway with breathtaking... More

In all my trips to Ecuador, I have honestly never seen a place quite like this. The ride up is a bit more than bumpy, but I heard that the road is on the way to be paved like much of the infrastructure in Ecuador. It's almost hard to describe the sense of tranquility and peace you experience the moment... More

It is a very quiet piece of property,almost at the top of a mountain. Our... More

Stayed here with a large medical team working in a local village - the hotel is delightful and the scenery is spectacular. The owners and staff are very friendly, helpful and accomodating. The food in the restaurant is good, and the rooms are clean, comfortable and overlook the town in the valley below. Now for the drawback! An arduous trip... More

Our flight school Icaro Flight Academy organized a fly-in in Ibarra as has become tradition for the last couple of years. This year the fly-in was to take place throughout the entire weekend for which we needed a hotel to stay in. La Estelita was chosen due to the amount of people who formed part of this event (14).
