This is a beautiful, clean hotel with many sea lions and marine iguanas on site. Food at the restaurant was excellent. We did drink the filtered water provided by the hotel - with the Galapagos-wide goal of decreasing use of plastic bottles. However, our stomachs didn't tolerate that water so we switched to buying 6 liter bottles of water for the rest of our trip. You could also probably use something like a steri-pen and be fine. Highly recommend this hotel. Wonder why they changed the name from Red Mangrove to Galapagos habitat - Red Mangrove is much more fitting and easier to remember...maybe has something to do with how it shows up on a Google search?? read less

We were in the Santa Fe suite which felt like we were in a tree house (no ocean view). Indeed, the hotel is located within a mangrove forest and is very beautiful. The sea lions have their special place on the patio where they play and rest in the sun, and guests can swim in the waters off the patio. We had one dinner here which was amazing, and the breakfast buffet is perfect, with yogurt and granola, breads, meat and cheese, and made to order eggs and french toast. The service is super friendly and helpful. While this hotel is quite luxurious, it is a bit rustic, and as one would expect in a mangrove forest, there were some bugs but nothing alarming or bothersome. The lovely birds do wake up early though, about 5 am they are chirping.

Leaving the hotel, to the right, is the Charles Darwin Science Center, an easy walk and a must see. To the left is the downtown area with many shops and places to eat. There is also a waterfront park and marina which was a fun after dinner activity. This hotel offers bicycles, which was a great way to get to the marina quickly. I would love to stay here again if I am fortunate enough to travel to the Galapagos again. read less

It is quiet, clean, rustic, and perfect for the atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious! We ate great lobster at their restaurant. The town is just down the street. The sea lions love to hang out at one end of the hotel. In fact, I could look out my window and they were right there. It was as if I was sleeping with the sea lions. If you do not like sea lions, then request a room away from them. read less

Loved the situation amongst the mangroves and all the wildlife. The suite was verry good (could be better, but i guess the logistic is very complicated) -amazing views.
Restaurant was very good for all the meals. read less

Enjoy the ocean view surrounded by sea lions and iguanas was a lifetime experience.
The hotel was built inside of forest of mangrove with great conservation concept.
To sit in the room and hearing the wild animals a few steps outside of our balcony was outstanding.

Haugan Cruises arranged this hotel and our tours. They did a great job with perfectly smooth transfers, tours, cruise to islands etc. Local tour company staff greeted us as the hotel, communicated details and tweaked arrangements. It couldn't have been better.
The hotel was right on the water, great location, very good (maybe not great) food and nice staff. The rooms were quite interesting. I would recommend this to anyone. More read less
