We were looking forward to the stay but Ecuador enacted such strong standards that we cancelled our booking and headed for the Quito airport before our week began.
Thanks for the review, Chuck ! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you. Come back and see us soon. Cheers!
