We loved our stay! Location is easy to get to and overlooks the beautiful Rio Misahualli. Rooms were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved the shower. We had breakfast there each morning. It was great with fresh fruit, coffee, juice, eggs, rolls, jam & butter prepared just for us. Anna and Eduardo were wonderful hosts who answered all our questions. Their recommendation for a river boat guide was excellent. Highly recommend!! This was our 3rd trip to Ecuador and consider it a safe country and won't hesitate to come again.

While I was there, the owner, who normally lives in Germany, was there. He was super kind, attentive, and accommodating, even offering to give me and my tour guide (which he arranged for me) a ride to the bus station.
The kitchen is a blessing (though the sink pressure is awful). The outdoor area and garden are lovely and offer great views of the city, as well as some medicinal plants..
They offer many tours, which are pretty diverse, comprehensive, and reasonably priced, though beware if youre traveling alone: there's a minimum of 2 people (as with almost all the tours in Tena). My guide was knowledgeable and patient with my mediocre Spanish and even stopped in town after our tour to help me buy things for a healing tea (I had bronchitis) and stayed and made it with me.
Many of the staff knew i was sick and would check in and ask how I was feeling.
Hot shower (but awful pressure).

The property is beautiful. It’s within walking distance to everything but out of the hustle and bustle. Breakfasts were delicious. Tony, our host, was the best. We arrived late one evening and hadn’t been able to book whitewater rafting for the next day, so he made it happen for us with a personally guided tour that was an absolute highlight of our trip. This is a family run business that hires indigenous locals (you can buy some beautiful handicrafts on site) and is practising sustainability.

The property is outside of town in a rule area, which is great. It also has a lot of facilities, including a pool in a restaurant. The staff worked very hard to address some of our dissatisfactions, and even gave us a upgraded room on our third night, which was the first night that they could accommodate that. They provided us with a wonderful referral to a tour company that was fantastic, providing us with Private Tours into Private lands. Check out AMA tours

we are already in Ecuador for the second time and have never made it to the rainforest yet, except for a really bad one day tour we took from Banos, so we were quite excited for Misahualli. maybe too excited. the village is cute, but you have seen it in like 20 minutes. you'll see some monkeys being fed by tourists (which you should not, but they still do) and you can book trips to various things. We were not so lucky with our second rainforest tour too so we were quite dissapointed. they charged us 120 dollars for a 5 hours walk through the forest and a lunch package that contained 2 white breads with one slice of cheese and a batch of peanut butter.
I think you can have great time here if you either really seek for relaxation, hanging in hammocks, do nothing (Restaurants: we really liked the cute Mexican place with amazing quesadillas and pizza and the little Cafe Resto Papakuna!), or wanting to go on crazy trips and tours and that's super your thing. other than that one day Misahualli is perfectly enough.

Be sure to take a late afternoon/early evening ride on the Napo River to appreciate the area and afterwards sample the local dish Maito de pescado- a whole river fish grilled in banana leaves served with lemon slices, a side of tomato and red onion salad, and plantains with a glass of local guayusa tea. We paid $5 for the complete meal including an added liter of cold beer.

Puerto Misahuallí has many different things to offer: if you feel adventurous, join one of the trips to the jungle and local communities. If you feel like relaxing, you can hang out at the beach.
In any case you should try the local way of preparing chicken and fish: Maito. It is super delicious!

I actually live here and love the village of Misahuallí. I love dining at La Tasca and La Posada and walking along the path by el Rio Misahuallí to get to Runa Wasi where they serve refreshing guayusa tea in hand-crafted bowls and cups. The monkeys in the park are awesome to watch, but I wish that tourists wouldn’t feed them inappropriate foods.

It’s a beautiful lodge, so peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast was great, and there’s lunch and dinner available for $5. The beds were really comfy too, and the viewpoint is stunning! You can also get a boat to Puerto Misahualli for $1, otherwise some of the buses from Tena also stop outside the lodge so even though it’s really in the middle of the rainforest you can still visit get around easily. Everyone was so welcoming and kind, it was just an amazing few days that we spent there. Thank you so much!
Hotel is centrally located in small town of Puerto Misahualli within walking distance to restaurants and stores. Nice view on Napo river. Especially we liked a trip to Ceibo lodge (it is their second property). Ceibo lodge is more luxurious experience with excellent food and well designed program. Alberque hotel is more basic, but still is a very nice place and excellent value for money. Hotel manager Theo and all guides were super helpful.
Amazing setting in the heart of the jungle, the air, the noises and the view makes this place very unique. Great food at the restaurant (very expensive and really the only choice to have) Staff very attentive. Amazing interaction with the hotel animals (dogs, a little monkey, a coati and a parrot)
It is a nice and clean lodge. We were only two people in the lodge for one night (plus hotel personnel - 1 and the dog). It was nice but very unusual.
Internet works only in the lobby.
Breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious.
