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

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

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

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We loved being right on the water where the sea lions, pelicans, and iguanas hung out. We would highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again. read less

The staff is helpful and takes good care about you. The restaurant is placed perfectly over the ocean and the food quality is outstanding. Thanks to Andrea for all her efforts to make our stay as pleasureable as possible and treating my cold. 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

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

Crabs and iguanas join you for lunch and the view includes sleeping sea lions, fishing herons and pelicans, marine iguanas swimming across the water and a raft of crabs scuttling around.

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
