There is no perfect time of year to to to Ecuador. The weather is so changeable over the course of the year that you can go at any time; it's just a question of luck! The country has two main seasons, a wet season and dry season, which vary according to region. The ocean currents around the Pacific coast and the Galapagos islands mean that they have similar climates: hot and humid from April to June, more agreeable from June to December. The Amazon is very humid all year round, whereas one can tour the Andes whenever one likes, the climate there being more bearable and the heat a little less tropical.
Our stay in Mandala was definitely the highlight of our trip. We really enjoyed spending time at the beach and the room accommodations were amazing. The Mandala staff spoke English and were very helpful. The breakfast and coffee were very good--we all loved the fresh fruit, variety of juice and friendly staff.
My sons also enjoyed the music/game room located in the office building. This is a great place for families to vacation!

Ecuador is a lovely country very diverse with so much to see we plan another visit . The highlights were the trips were the birds in the Cloud Forests and our time spent in the Amazon. We also enjoyed lots of local food. The Albemarle was the best hotel we stayed and as I have stated above our guides Fausto Gomez and Katherine Celleri were excellent.
