TRIANGULO DE DARWIN by Galapagos Habitat

Perched directly on protected water, it is (literally) home to a number of the creatures one comes to see: sea lions, finches, and iguana, among others! While it's ideally located within easy walking distance of the town, Puerto Ayora, and the nearby Darwin Research Center, it's snuggled among mangroves that lend it surprising privacy. And for essential daily activities at sea, the hotel's handsome, well-fitted powerboat, Windrose, is a perfect waterborne counterpart. This property is the Whole Package! read less

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

The hotel has a special niche for small details, amenities, service, the most delicious chocolates made right here in Galapagos! And the mini bars in the rooms are filled with super delicious treats with no additional cost. One of the most beautiful and relaxing experiences I've ever had was to sit down for breakfast at the hotel's deck, looking towards the sea and the animals around that come up to the patio straight from the water or the mangroves. They approach so fearlessly! There were pelicans, sea lions, marine iguanas, and the cutest little finches kept perching on the chair next to me. The hotel also offers tours on the Windrose yacht, I didn't have any plans for day tours but I changed my mind and it was totally worth a day cruise onboard that yacht, they have different options throughout the week depending on the day. Do it! You won't regret it! This beautiful hotel is very well located, it is walking distance from Charles Darwin Station and other local attractions. More read less

The staff were super friendly and accomodating, always ready to help. The room was clean with a comfortable bed and a great view of the harbour (and not to mentions the sea lions who live on the hotel docks!). A great stay, hope to be back soon! 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

We were lucky to have the Darwin Suite. All Windows, fabulous views. Staff are great, friendly and helpful. Wonderful to see all the animals and birds around the hotel. Great to have place for iguanas and sea lions to rest. Breakfast was a great show. Only a few problems which seem to me East to fix. One, the hotel is not as clean as it should be. Little things like the top of the garbage can in bathroom is dirty. They don't seem to change the little rugs used for wiping feet in the reception area. They were very dirty, never changed the 4 days we were there. Should be changed every day. Second, during the day, the reception desk was always empty unless they expected a. New guest. Always had to look for someone, also the people did not have much information about the town. These are small things that can be easily fixed. I would come back in a flash. read less

The Darwin Suite, was enormous and had really incredible views from two private balconies. Water pressure was good and the bathroom was large and modern. The staff at the hotel was very helpful, and bike rentals were free. The breakfast, also included, was very good.

This hotel is well managed, clean, and everything you would want in a tropical waterfront locale. read less
