This was one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. The staff was so friendly, caring, and supportive that we didn't want to leave. (Special shoutout to Enrique and Madelín at the front desk!) The hotel is super clean. Our room was even mopped every day. The pool and breakfast were amenities that made it even more worth staying.

Great breakfast. The pool area was especially enjoyable at the end of the day after long tours. One of the highlights was the deck, conveniently located next to the pool, where we were able to spot turtles, rays, and sea lions. The room was comfortable.

Great hotel with amazing location in a beautiful inlet. We could see many marine animals and birds right from the poolside deck. They have kayaks and bikes for guests to use. Convenient location close to the dock and many restaurants, market and shops. Staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Very recommended

Great hotel adjacent to downtown area of puerto Ayora. Staff was fantastic and helpful. Pool area was great and helpful for the kids to play (note there is no beach in town, it’s outside of town). Poolside bar was a nice touch as well. Had bikes to loan and a kayak for the lagoon it sits on. We loved this place.

What stands out most about the hotel: the location makes it easy to walk to restaurants and shops or to grab a water taxi at the pier, the breakfast is delicious, our room was spacious and immaculate, the beds were super comfortable, the pool is wonderful to relax by and watch turtles, sharks and sea lions swim by. We loved our time there.

Beautiful new hotel at central location with comfy room and beds, and very nice swimming pool from where you can watch boats and animals on the channel. Super friendly staff and nice varied breakfast (although don’t be the last one to eat as you might not find much left after other hungry guests).

We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it! The staff are incredibly friendly and willing to help, the morning breakfast had such variety, the location is only a 1/2 block from the pier, and the pool overlooks the canal. While in the pool, we saw marine a turtle, sea lions and marine iguanas. Last note… the restaurant has the most incredible Ecuadorian ceviche for a better price than some of the nice restaurants in town!!! Highly recommend getting it. It’s big enough to share as a light meal, or by yourself if you are hungry.

Rooms were extremely clean, staffs were very helpful, attentive, and always there when you needed them. Pool was super clean and Jacuzzi worked, having the pier right by the pool was added bonus. Breakfast had good selection of food, and the bar food orders were also delicious. Landry service was priced good for the awesome job they did. Over all one of the best hotel we stayed in Galapagos island. We would definitely come back here again.

The friendliness of the staff was amazing. Aways a nice chat and a smile for everybody. The food was excellent and the pool and bar are just right in the nature. We really loved everything about it. Just a little tip, check exactly what kind of balcony your room has. We ere very disappointed about tge one of room 207. It was just a 'step out', nothing to enjoy relaxing outside. But the rest was just awesome and perfect.
