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

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

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 staff was super helpful and made stay more than pleasant. They seemed more worried about our trip than we were. I had booked my stay from 12/20 to 12/24 and every single room was booked. Unfortunately, the day we landed our air conditioner in our room was not working. I went to them and told them I am willing to work with them since they were so busy to get things fixed and the next thing you know we were upgraded for free to an Ocean View suite. Maybe we just got lucky, but I think in any other circumstances they would have taken my offer.

Patricia and Andriana in particular made our stay AMAZING. Galapagos overall was amazing, but in no small part due to the amazing service, stay and food at this hotel.

Their restaurant Almar is comparable to any fine dining restaurant in any metro city in the world, be it Chicago, NYC, Paris, Dublin etc. They are dishing out fancy versions of ecuadorian classics without losing any of the authenticity.

I feel like no trip to Galapagos is complete without interacting with the folks at this hotel. 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

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

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.
Recommended! read less
