Hello,

I’m planning a Mexico City trip and looking for an aparthotel/hotel for 3 people (2 adults and a teen). We are aiming to avoid an AirBnB but need some more space than a hotel room offers. Any suggestions welcomed!

- Safe area, walkable
- Not too noisy at night, not a party zone
- Good A/C
- Enough space for 3 people (not just a tiny hotel room)
- Kitchenette would be a bonus but ok without
- Good customer service/front desk that can help arrange airport transportation, tours, etc.

We’re considering:
ULIV (not sure which location is best)
Sterling Condesa or Reforma
Capitalia Hipódromo Condesa
Amberes 64
Le Meridien

We’re mainly looking at Condesa, Roma Norte, Juárez, or Reforma. Budget is around $225 USD a night.

Has anyone stayed at these with a family/teen? Do you have another recommendation? Hotel with adjoining rooms also ok - it’s just hard to find those on traditional booking platforms.

Thanks!

I'm considering booking a 5-day (4 night) tour in Ecuador with Cuenca BesTours and would appreciate any feedback from people who have traveled with them. Or recommendations for another company who offers tours along this route (Cuenca to Quito).

The proposed itinerary starts in Cuenca and ends in Quito, including Ingapirca, Riobamba (1 night), Baños, an Amazon rainforest experience (Puyo - 2 nights), Quilotoa Crater Lake, and Cotopaxi National Park (1 night). The company describes it as a mix of Andean culture and scenery, waterfalls, rainforest nature and culture, light hiking, and volcanic landscapes.

Has anyone booked with BesToura? How was the experience in terms of organization, accommodations, transportation, and overall value?
For those familiar with Ecuador, does this itinerary seem like a good way to experience both the Andes and the Amazon in five days?

We are also going to take their shuttle from Guayaquil airport. Any experience with a different provider?

I'd love to hear recommendations, things you would change, or highlights I shouldn't miss.
Thanks!
