Posted on Tripadvisor Dolors RullVerified Excelente experiencia Una experiencia super recomendable en todos los sentidos. Incluso el camino para llegar hasta allí es super bonito. Nos encantaron los paseos por la selva, el personal ( super amable ), los guías ( con grandes conocimientos ) , la comida ( excelente ) , el lodge ( precioso y super cómodo ). Nosotros disfrutamo mucho de la experiencia por lo que creo que vale mucho la penaPosted on Tripadvisor Virginia WVerified Trip of a Lifetime. Sani Lodge went above and beyond to create a truly special experience for our family. I had been extremely nervous about traveling with my two children - aged 16 with special needs and aged 8. We are also an entirely vegetarian family, with the kids being additionally picky. The lodge was beyond accommodating, and made things that felt tailored specifically for my children at the meals. The "adult" vegetarian meals were delicious, if anything we were fed more than I expected and constantly met with snacks in between ample meals. We stayed in the newly completed family lodge. It was more than comfortable for the four of us, there was room for at least 3 more! The beds were comfortable and sleeping with the sounds of the rainforest was something I won't soon forget. Our guides, Mauricio & Fausto, were knowledgeable and interesting, and more than patient with our children. I was so impressed and truly touched by the curated experience each day and each activity. We had such a great time and were so grateful for the incredibly educational and enriching Amazon experience, where we are more than happy to have contributed to the preservation of such pristine natural beauty.Posted on Tripadvisor Gavin SVerified Majestic Jungle Immersion What a privilege & delight to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the Amazon at Sani Lodge with the Kichwa people. Superior professionalism & hospitality in every way by every staff member. We felt like treasured family and were called friends and treated as such by everyone. Like others have stated in their reviews: We would go back there in a heartbeat. Nothing can beat the tranquility of gliding on the waters, or stepping through the forest and seeing the abundance of the flora & fauna guided by the deep knowledge & appreciation of it by an indigenous guide. Majestic!Posted on Tripadvisor stuart bVerified First class Ten out of ten. Experienced travellers all super impressed by the lodge, staff and outstanding professionalism.

From the moment we arrived, we loved every single second and immediately felt like part of a warm, welcoming family. The lodge is extraordinarily well-managed, the service is impeccable, and the overall quality is exceptional. Yet, what makes Sani Lodge truly rare and special is its absolute authenticity and its inspiring eco-sustainability project. We felt right at home, genuinely cared for, and treated as honored guests rather than just clients. The genuine kindness of the staff—always smiling and attentive to our every need—stole our hearts. Our cabin was a spectacular gem nestled in the wild nature, offering a peaceful atmosphere that made us feel as though we had the entire jungle to ourselves. And the food! It was simply sublime. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and delicious—from the incredible local fruits and fabulous juices to every single meal served. A huge, heartfelt thank you goes to our guides, Mauricio and Henry, who made this experience truly magical. Mauricio: Professional and impeccable, thank you for your endless patience in answering all our children's questions. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Your deep knowledge, passion for the local flora and fauna, and availability were astonishing. It was a true privilege sharing these moments with someone so special. Henry: Always smiling and a person of rare beauty of soul. Listening to your stories about local traditions and learning how to find resources in the jungle was incredible. Your sweetness and attention toward our children meant the world to us. Spending time with the Sani community was an absolute joy—such welcoming, gentle, and wonderful people. Thanks to this journey, our children learned the true value of things and will treasure these lessons forever. We will carry Sani Lodge, Mauricio, Henry, and the community in our hearts always. We will never forget these days and hope to return one day!Posted on Tripadvisor Alessandro RVerified Amazing Amazon lodge. Wonderful. Amazing community run lodge in the Ecuador Amazon.
