The rooms were big and well kept. The staff was awesome. The location was quiet and we could walk to the beach.
Breakfast was served fresh - upon arrival to dining area, eggs and plantain were fried. Bun super fresh. Coffee delicious.
No ocean view, but pool was lovely to relax in after a long day exploring.
Young lady at Reception, Andrea, couldn't be more helpful. A pleasure to deal with. She arranged airport transfer for me. Also helped carry bags up to room.
My room was clean! Within walking distance to almost everything I wanted to do. Breakfast was made fresh every day. The staff was extremely kind and helpful! My only complaint was the rooster that was nearby! Other than that it was quiet.
Excellent value for money. Staff were always friendly & ready to help. Rooms were spacious with en suites & tv. & I enjoyed relaxing by the pool at the end of each day & dipping in to cool off. It’s not the most luxurious hotel in the world & breakfast is basic, but what would you expect for £209 for 6 nights over new year. If you want 5* star facilities & treatment go & pay £200 per night at one of the more luxurious hotels nearby, I struggle to believe some of the negative reviews I read here before I stayed. It is probably the best value hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The location is quiet & peaceful but an easy 5 min walk from the town centre & seafront.
Clean and comfortable hotel with a small pool and hammocks in the outdoors area. Partial ocean view from higher rooms. Good breakfast included and kind staff.
Our stay in the Galápagos was excellent. We were not inside very long, and didn’t expect luxury. Accommodations were adequate and breakfast was very good.
There was a hammock in the room - we loved it. Overall a great stay. The staff was friendly and the space was comfortable. It was difficult to get a taxi to the pier in the morning and the walk isn’t too far (15-20 min) but we had heavy bags so it was inconvenient. Other than that it was a nice place to stay.
Louis was especially helpful. Location ideal for reaching downtown without the traffic and noise. Drinking water is provided and there is a kitchen available for use.
Staff is very friendly and very helpful. The hotel was about a 10 min walk to the Charles Darwin research center security checkpoint and stores/dining options. The hotel appeared to be understaffed. No one at the lobby in the morning so we had to leave your room key with the kitchen lady at checkout. Open building concept with lots of natural light and fresh air. Breakfast was great with fresh cut fruit, bread, butter and jam, scrambled eggs and a cheese empanada.
Everything was great! Hot water was endless! The bathroom lock was a bit wonky but everything else was perfect. If you have any billing issues, call them directly. The people working the front desk speak enough English to help. We paid in cash when we arrived and everything was fine.
