    friendly staff
    hot water issues

    A challenging start to my trip

    The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help, which made our experience more enjoyable. Resting in the beautifully decorated common areas felt calming after a day of exploring.

    Unfortunately, I faced hot water issues my last morning, which was frustrating considering the price I paid. A better breakfast variety could also enhance the overall experience.

    cold water
    mediocre breakfast

    i was absolutely thrilled when i arrived, only to discover the hot water was ‘unavailable’ during my last morning—how delightful. also, the breakfast was in a lovely location, albeit mediocre. for the price i paid, i expected a complimentary upgrade at the very least, but apparently, that’s too much to ask. i just couldn’t believe it.

    The hospitality team at this place really makes you feel at home while exploring the Galapagos Islands.

    comfy beds
    nice pool
    cold shower

    The beds were huge and super comfy, and the air conditioning kept the room nice and cool, which made for a great stay. I loved soaking up the sun by the pool and relaxing on the sun loungers in the beautiful garden area. The only hiccup was a bit of a cold shower right before I left, but I was lucky to have family nearby to use their bathroom. 😊

    lush trees
    spacious rooms
    refreshing atmosphere
    limited elevators
    shower timing

    The open courtyard is shaded by lush trees, creating a refreshing atmosphere that feels welcoming and accessible for seniors. The spacious modern rooms also added to the comfortable experience during my stay, making it a true refuge.

    More elevators would enhance accessibility for seniors.

    rooftop dining
    delicious breakfast

    Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

    I stayed in a Superior Double room, and the huge comfortable beds made it so inviting! The breakfast was a good spread with freshly baked croissants and fresh juices that fueled my day perfectly. Plus, the rooftop dining area offered amazing views of the port, where I could relax and soak in the gentle breeze while enjoying my meal.

    100% recommend 🥰✨

    great location
    cold shower

    The hotel is perfectly situated only five minutes from the public pier, making it easy to catch all of my early boat tours. My room was exceptionally clean, airy, and modern, offering stunning views through the large windows. Breakfast was a delight every morning, served in a fresh and inviting space with a beautiful view of the water.

    I experienced a minor hiccup with a cold shower one morning, but it didn't significantly impact my stay.

    breathtaking views

    will be back

    Loved the spacious Superior Double room with huge comfortable beds and a private bathroom. Breakfast had freshly baked croissants and fresh juices. The 4th floor dining area has breathtaking views of the port with a nice breeze. Super clean and relaxing vibe overall. Definitely a spot to chill out after exploring.
