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.

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

The deck that houses the restaurant and lounge chairs has resident sea lions and marine iguanas. The restaurant was the best we tried in Puerto Ayora. The restaurant and hotel staff was helpful in every way possible, particularly in upgrading our room when there was a problem with our first one. The second room overlooked the sea lions and had a large balcony with wonderful views of the harbor. 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

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

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
