We really enjoyed our stay at Caskaffesu, Susan was really friendly and helpful and the rooms were lovely. We got fresh clean towels every day due to the climate in Mindo meaning that wet towels didn't dry very well. We got great recommendations for what to do in Mindo from Susan and the food was brilliant. The caskaffesu brownies are... More

My husband and I ate here only a few days ago. The food was fantastic! We had been finding that lots of food in Ecuador was particularly salty but this food was amazing. Would definitely recommend eating here when you are visiting Mindo.

We stayed for 2 nights in Mindo and Caskffesu was perfect. We would've stayed longer and weren't ready to leave yet. Susan and Luis were very helpful and always ready to answer our questions. The rooms were bright and cheery, clean, with hot showers. Clean towels everyday with soap and shampoo. The food was excellent and not overpriced. Susan arranged... More

We stayed 2 days in Mindo and visited CasKaffeSu two nights in a row. They cook great food using "disinfected" vegetables as they say on the menu!!! The coffee and brownies are excellent and you can enjoy them inside by the fire if it's raining outside!

A somewhat hidden “gem in Mindo.” Just ½ block off the main busy street making it very quiet. Rooms are very clean and have the most wonderful HOT showers. Don’t know when it got painted but the colors are no longer as shown on the pictures, it is very restful. Sorry we don’t have any pix of the place. THE... More

We stayed at CasKaffeSu for 4 days, one more than we had planned, because we really enjoyed not just Mindo but also Luis´ and Susan´s wonderful hotel. They are warm and super helpful. The food is excellent. The hotel itself is a work of art -- most unusual and quite lovely. Beautiful garden, clean and simple but sweet rooms (the... More

Wanted to stay here on advice from trip advisor. Called on a Sunday. The person on the phone said that there was only one room available for one night. Kinda hard to believe when Mindo was like a ghost town the entire three days I was there. I also went by the restaurant in the evening which was empty. The... More

We take reservations seriously, that's why we ask for a 50% deposit. Without that assurance, guests may not show up (we learned the hard way the first year we were open) and hostals may leave their guests without a room (something guests have complained about with other establishments). Paypal is a very easy and effective way to reserve, and we... More

Caskaffesu is owned and operated by an American expatriate and her Ecuadoran husband. Both are excellent hosts and English speaking. It is located in the center of the small town of Mindo, itself located in a prime clould forest recreation area. The rooms are quite comfortable and there is a small courtyard at the center, but it is the restaurant... More
