Slightly nervous, I booked my stay initially for 2 nights and then extended for 3 more.

I stayed longer because of the customer service, location and helpfulness (the sea lions easily made me stay) of the staff.

I had a ton of questions on where to Scuba, which islands to visit etc. Borris and Betzy were awesome w ideas on where to go. Andrea, the manager, was very on top of everything --you can tell she runs an efficient hotel. The restaurant was great, Jimmy (hope that is correct) in the morning at breakfast, and Yommy in the evening, were some of the best service I've had during my travels throughout South America.

The hotel is at the end of the strip, but in a 5 minute walk you're in the heart of downtown--I personally liked being a bit off the mainstreet. Every morning if either walk or borrow a bike (for free) from the hotel and ride to where I needed to meet for Scuba.

I don't often write reviews, but because this team was so wonderful, and made me feel very welcomed,I wanted to. The hotel was very clean, great amenities (q-tips, cottonballs, beach towels). I am actually surprised it was rated 3.5 stars, I'd give it a 4 star hotel. More read less

We named our suite the treehouse because we were perchec above the trees with 180 degree views. The room was very nice and clean and a highlight was the bathtub and shower with a view of the ocean while still being private. The food in the restaurant was excellent. There were some guests that hogged the lounge chairs but since they were bunches of napping sea lions we did not complain! The hotel is in a good location with a short walk to the main town and pier and very close to the Charles Darwin center. We also booked 2 excellent boat tours on a small yacht for day trips. Those are highly recommended as well. 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

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

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

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
