The thing we were less enthusiastic about was that it was very difficult to get basic toiletries like soap, clean towels or shampoo. We had to repeatedly ask. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay 24 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Palo Santo is Awesome Because the ferry's were overbooked we had to spend a night in Santa Cruz. Thankfully Palo Santo had rooms. This is a very neat hotel on the opposite side of the bay. You have to take a sea taxi to get to it. The breakfast was tasty and the room was crisp and clean. We swam and chilled out by the pool prior to our departure - the perfect way to end our Galapagos excursion! ##### Lindsay Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### FH, Houston, TX 30 Jul 2018 Upon booking, was not apprised that hotel was involved in a dispute; locals disclosed this. The hotel has potential, but it is not living up to it. First,unfortunate reality: Upon arrival, found staff lacking; there was no bell staff and we had to haul our luggage from the water taxi to the hotel and up stairs to our rooms; there was no elevator. Front desk was unmanned during the hours as represented and none of the staff were uniformed or wore name tags. There is a restaurant on-site and a bar; neither was staffed. We accessed both for glasses, etc. We were not provided wi-fi in our rooms; access to internet through US-based cell service (i.e., hot spots) was limited due to internet accessibility. The business center was not set up; we went to a store across the bay to print tour information (for a fee). The person assigned to assist at check-out indicated she was not able to access the internet to process the credit card payment, after several attempts with a hand-held device.The level of hospitality and services was not what was expected. On the positive: we stayed in suites which were roomy. When the refrigerator stopped working, the repairs/replacement were made within a day. There was one person on-site daily and he was attentive to feedback. We liked the location--it was quiet, and close to Las Grietas and two other nice restaurants. ##### FH Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful estate. This hotel is located by Finch Bay. Once you get to Puerto Ayora, you need to take a water taxi to Finch Bay. 80 cents during the day, $1- after 7pm. Water taxi comes every 5-10mim. Once you have 3-4 ppl on board and wait about 4min, it start moving. It takes about few minutes to Finch Bay. This Finch Bay is by Playa de Los Alemanes. “German Beach” as you can read lots of German settlers. According to the local, after World War 2, lots of German came to Galapagos and hide around the area. The very first one was supposed to be extradited but he passed away before that. The locals call the area of German. This property is own by very well known person in Ecuador. They built about 5 years ago but because of the neighbor ( Playa de los Alemanes) oppositions they could not operate. Many locals know what happened to the property, and they are not happy about the situation. Made us very upset what they went through because of the neighbors. This is a very modern and beautiful property, just need few TLC. Once you get off at Finch Bay, keep walking straight, up and down the hill, you pass the white building, then you see a pond, make a right there, you will see the hotel. It’s less than 5 minutes walk, very romantic. The room is very large, nice swimming pool, walking distance to the quiet beach. The staff, all of them are very nice. Away from the noisy town, this is a gem! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katsiaryna 1 Dec 2022 ##### Katsiaryna ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Aug 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge 17 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jorge Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hampton Inn Orlando/Lake Buena Vista](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-OrlandoLake-Buena-Vista.h201147.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Singapore on Kitchener](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-Novotel-Singapore-On-Kitchener.h906127.Hotel-Information) > > [Belong Jin The Dam Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Surat-Thani-Hotels-Belong-Jin-The-Dam-Resort.h16369336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Cyprus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cyprus-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d45-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Kubwa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kubwa-Abuja-Hotels.0-n553248635975438242-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cannes-Hotels-Hotel-Barriere-Le-Majestic-Cannes.h438295.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Magaluf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Magaluf-Calvia-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-n182343-0-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [MagicCostaBlanca Hotels in Benidorm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Magic-Costa-Blanca.0-0-d181363--bMagicCostaBlanca.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Indigo Belgrade by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belgrade-Hotels-Indigo-Belgrade.h68218394.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bodelwyddan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodelwyddan-Hotels.d6047278.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Apartments Barking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barking-Apartments.d179547-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Majestic Elegance Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Majestic-Elegance-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h2191836.Hotel-Information) > > [Swn Y Mor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Swn-Y-Mor-Hotel.h2251345.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Samoa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Samoa-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d155-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Chalets Whistler](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whistler-Chalets.d4115-aaChalets.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Sol Marbella Estepona - Atalaya Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estepona-Hotels-Sol-Marbella-Estepona-Atalaya-Park.h25080.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Temu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/6168461/flights-from-temu) > > [Flights from LON-All Airports to Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/edi/london-to-edinburgh) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Aksakovo (VAR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/var/london-to-varna) > > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Catania (CTA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fco/cta/rome-to-catania) ### Cars > [Car hire in Kochi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Kochi.d6053337.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Los-Angeles.d178280.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Poggibonsi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Poggibonsi.d4964.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Tartu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tartu.d3372.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Durrës Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres.d6047335.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Burton on Trent Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Holiday-Rentals.d182479.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
