I felt like Finch Bay was a very nice hotel for the Galapagos. However, I felt like they were slightly understaffed. We also mentioned it was our honeymoon and, unlike the other hotels we stayed at throughout our three week vacation, this hotel did nothing for us to honor this. Clean, quiet. Amazing spa with the best massage. The ducks kept pooping in the pool so we weren't using the pool, but the hot tubs at the spa were nice. Overall, good experience. However, I don't think was worth the high price we paid for a suite.

Almost certainly the best hotel in The Galápagos. Service was exceptional - relaxed and friendly but right on it and incredibly responsive and informative. Couldn’t have been more helpful on absolutely every front. The hotel itself is beautiful - somehow gets it just right - brilliant layout - everything is in exactly the right place if that makes sense! The Food is exceptional - credit to the chef - we tried all sorts and it was all beautifully prepared and tasted wonderful. And actually not even that expensive relative to other places on the islands. Beautiful beach right in front of the hotel. It is a public beach but to be honest that was quite nice as it gave it a bit of buzz. Private water taxi was excellent - you just whatsapped when you needed taking or collecting and it was always there within 5 minutes at most. All in all an absolutely superb hotel - we were there 6 nights and it was a great base to explore the whole island. The only suggestion I would make prospective guests is that there’s no need to book the more expensive suites. We were in one due to availability, but the standard rooms were half the price, perfectly well situated, and really nice too. So I’d just book one of them next time. Loved our stay at Finch Bay. Thanks to all 😃.

The entire team at Finch Bay was exceptional and set this hotel apart from others. From reception team finding solutions to your requests, changing rooms around to accommodate to the incredible dining staff serving great food and drinks with a story and genuine warmth. This is our families second trip to the Galapagos but first time staying on land - it was a lovely change and needed so the teens could still log on for school. Many thanks for a lovely week!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed. All of the little things they did for us were great. Noticed we were sunburnt? They brought us fresh allow off the plant. When we were leaving, we had a layover in Quito for the night and needed to present a COVID test to get back to the US. They contacted our layover hotel and scheduled the testing so we would have the results that same night and in time for our flight the next morning. The food was great. Quick access to town. The tour guide they gave us for excursions was very knowledgeable and friendly. Beach was a 1-2 minute from our room. Everything was perfect.

Bait and switch. We arrived after a live aboard yacht trip and did not have the ocean view room I booked on Expedia. Finch Bay was rude about it. I would have booked another hotel had I known. This was the end of a “make a wish trip”. They gave us a garden view room that was very small, much smaller than my room at home; nothing special here. No hot water, found that out when I was in the shower. My husband called and they turned it on. They do not replenish toilet paper, apparently, found that out with just s few sheets left on the roll. Got eaten alive by mosquitoes at dinner; no mention of preventing that from the wait staff. I do not have mosquitoes where I live. Food was very very overpriced. I dine out regularly in Santa Barbara, California and it doesn’t cost this much. I woke up the last morning asphyxiated by some chemical they sprayed outside my room that night. Also, the last night I woke up to a disgusting smell of nasty dirty feet where my face rested on the duvet, I almost threw up. Apparently they do not wash the insert. Communication was very poor among the front desk. For example, one instance they told us to leave our luggage out on the porch at 7 am upon departure after check out. We did and our luggage didn’t show up at the water taxi. We had to wait awhile an cut it very close for our flight. The breakfast was excellent. Otherwise I am very underwhelmed and extremely disappointed at the last leg of what was an amazing trip.

This property is perfect for a land-based trip to Galápagos Islands. We took their private yacht each day to a different island and saw a lot, but had the comfort of a first class land hotel each night. The tours were outstanding and each day was unique. Food was great too and so was service.

We stayed at the Finch Bay Hotel for 6 nights during our recent stay in the Galapagos. The resort is beautiful and has an incredible location - one of the few if maybe the only one with a location on a beach. We also enjoyed the town of Puerto Ayora and all of the day trips we purchased through the hotel. Highly recommend staying here if you're contemplating a visit to the Galapagos.
