Service was fantastic and the staff was attending to every need. We had the Darwin Suite and the room was large, comfortable with a very large and refreshing shower. Great views across the bay with Sea Lions and Pelicans always around. Restaurant was fantastic. Only negative is that the TV service did not have CNN International or any other english channels. Which is unusual as we did have it in Isabella which is more remote than Santa Cruz. Other than that a fantastic stay read less

Helpful and friendly staff and a good bar and restaurant.

Bikes can be borrowed for free.

Sea lions and marine iguanas laze on the decking.

Definitely one of the best options in town read less

Look out your suites at diving boobys and marine iguanas as Galapagos seals fight for the best bench on the deck near your room. Wonderful experience and a great place to start a land based trip of the Islands. read less

Ideally located between the Main Street and the Darwin Research Center and Turtles Reserve, we found Habitat hotel very comfortable with a helpful staff and a beautiful view on the sea.
The hotel has a nice restaurant and outdoor terrace (often occupied by some sealions!) and the rooms are very clean and confortable.
The hotel also has bikes that you can take to ride around Puerto Ayora, and is close to many restaurants and activities.
A good hotel for your stay on the island! 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

We had just finished an active sailing adventure trip so we spent a lot of time enjoying our room and found the hotel to be wonderful. Our room was an ocean front suite (Darwin); large, light filled, lots of natural wood, a sky light and with a balcony and a patio. The room was beautiful and the view was amazing. We had open views south, west and east. There was a 3rd night free deal, be sure to look for that.

The resort was very pretty, the people were polite and the food was great. Breakfast was easy and included plenty of variety. No one minded when we spent two hours with coffee, a book and the sea lions. It’s a popular spot for dinner so a reservation won’t hurt. Almar's reputation was earned on their dinner which has a varied menu of fine dining.

It’s a short walk to town including Avenida Kiosko or to water taxis for your own adventures (go to las Grietas). The Darwin Research Center is next door and the nicest beach in Puerto Arroyo is a short walk.

You’ll find sea lions, iguanas, pelicans and herons right at the resort or in the water nearby.

The hotel is in a great location in town and right on the bay. It’s is quite, clean with a very helpful and friendly staff. The overall service was fantastic and they spoke English.

The food was amazing. We end up eating 3 times here, because it was that good. The menu is the same for lunch and dinner. We had the lobster and the fish and it was really really good, delicious.

Our room was spacious, very clean, had air condition and a large bathroom. It has a large balcony with seating, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon drink.

Overall, it was a great stay. It made our trip much more amazing and we will never forget the experiences. I will definitely stay here again. read less

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
