The hotel itself has the perfect location, everything is close by and you can easily walk to beaches and the Charles Darwin Research Station. The staff is amazing and so helpful, they are taking such loving care of the room. Whenever you go on the terrace down by the restaurant you will be greeted by the cutest sea lions! I loved that, the hotel even gives them their proper space with a roof! It’s a paradise, home away from home with such a pretty design in the middle of a mangrove forest, highly recommended!

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

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

The room was big enough but not comfortable, breakfast was very simple and the people at the front desk was are polite but not go the extra mile. On the other hand, the food at the restaurant is really good and also the view is beautiful and the bar is well stocked. The hotel has a good location so you can go and have dinner somewhere else. I would definitely look for other options next time. 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.

A Waterside Gem!

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

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 hotel is at the edge of town, but the town is small enough that you can walk from one end to the other in 10 minutes or less.The location is spectacular because of the waterfront location of the restaurant where you can have breakfast if you are staying there or lunch and dinner regardless of whether you’re staying there, and the main attraction is sea lions and marine iguanas visible right there on the deck, lying in deck chairs, etc. Unlike San Cristobal, where sea lions are everywhere, Puerto Ayora does not have that many sea lions in town and this concentration of them along with the iguanas and birds etc makes the hotel special. We were in the Wolf room and I highly recommend it. Great view! This hotel used to be called Res Mangrove by the way. New management is doing a great job! The staff were super helpful. There are free bikes to borrow. What’s not to love?? The restaurant serves great food and the breakfast buffet was very good. More read less
