Really lovely hotel - rooms spacious and clean, nice pool with comfy sun loungers, even a little gym! The breakfast was nice and staff kindly let us use the facilities to prepare lunches. They even gave us breakfast early when we had a tour booked! Special thanks to Oscar who was so helpful

Nothing! Saw a lot of people have complained about the location but it’s only 25 min walk to the pier which we didn’t mind at all

Our room was very clean. All the personnel was polite and always happy to help.

Breakfast could be more various. Usually they provide you with eggs (scrumble or fried eggs) with pan or pancakes and that all.

Very good value. Game room is a disaster so don’t put too much stock in it. But the staff is great, the bed was very comfortable, cute little balcony. Filtered water on every level is nice. Breakfast was good. We arrived exhausted and they let us check in early, which was very kind.

As mentioned, game room was a disappointment. We love to shoot pool or play ping pong, but it is not a deal breaker. The only issue really was distance from town. We made the mistake of walking it, which while doable, was a bad call with luggage and the heat. Totally our fault. But you do need to taxi in for every activity, overall not a big deal because the taxi costs $1.50 USD.

- The staff is out of this world. Always smiley and ready to help with whatever you need. Helped with the bags during check in. They always ordered taxi for us as well. They prepared a sandwich and bananas for us since our boat left before breakfast on check out. - AC in the room, very clean, always very clean towels and linen. - Offer shampoo and shower gel - Free water in each floor. - Nice pool, comfy chairs and clean beach towels. - Coffee available by the pool. - 1,5/2 dollars taxi to get to town, or 30 mins walk.

- Breakfast is tasty but simple and with small portions. - Hairdryer didn’t work and they couldn’t fix it. They didn’t have a portable one to offer me. - Gym equipment very few and very old.

The room is very comfortable and a/c gives a nice break from the heat outside. Housekeeping clean every day, towels and bedsheets - on request. Staff - everyone from the kitchen and cleaning to the admins on reception were extremely nice and helpful! Breakfast was good, everyday you will have fresh fruits salad with a different fruit juice, eggs and empanadas/pancakes/toast. Fresh water is always available on every floor - which is extremely convenient and useful! Laundry service is also available (per pound). From the rooftop you can see the whole town and port below.

I would say the only thing that might be improved is the sound isolation of windows: the hotel is on somewhat busy road, so from 6 am to 10 pm there will be loud noise of vehicle passing by (if your windows come out to the street of course). Closing the bathroom door helped a little but still it was a little loud (fixed with earplugs and the tiredness of the whole day travels). And neighbors can also have a party which will start at 12 am and last till 5 am or so. One last thing, to get to the town you will need to walk for about 25-30 min or take a ride with a taxi for about 10 min ($1.5-$2) - not exactly a minus but we didn't mind walking in general.

The hotel was extremely clean and comfortable, the room was a good size, light and airy, and the bathroom was good. Clean drinking water was also available, and the staff were very helpful. Overall, the hotel was very good and I was very pleased with my stay.

Even though the hotel was very comfortable, the location of this hotel would mean I wouldn't book it again. When I booked it I was aware it was a mile away from the main parts of town, but I thought it might be a pleasant 15 minute walk - but instead it was a boring walk past houses and along a road, and I was already doing enough walking and activities during the day that I didn't need to add in extra walking. Also, the breakfast could be served earlier for those going on tours or getting the ferries. Surely they know about this. One morning I came down at 7.10am, and a large family had got in just before me and I had to wait a long time, which meant I had to eat very fast to leave for a tour.

It seemed like the hotel was run by a very young man called Oscar. He was there from very early in the morning to late at night. He was outstanding. Couldn't do enough to help. Was always smiling and helpful with excellent English language skills. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, with an excellent cooked breakfast that varied every day. It was simple and delicious. I highly recommend this hotel.

Could do with more sockets in each room. I suggest a simple remedy would be for the hotel to supply one 4 socket extension cable in each room. Also, there is a lack of places to hang clothes to dry. A particular problem for scuba divers. I suggest a simple remedy would be for the hotel to supply a wire drying rack in each room. This would be cheap for the hotel and would remove the risk of water damage to walls or furniture. I saw a family in an adjoining room use the soft furnishings outside to lay out towels and swim suits. That can't be a good thing for the hotel

The staff here were amazing. They were so helpful and attentive. The rooms were clean, tastefully decorated and very spacious. The pool and hot tub were great. Breakfast was very good, we enjoyed it every morning. They also had free filtered water which made life a lot easier, rather than having to worry about stocking up on water.

The location is about 25 minutes walking from the centre, this is the only downside. However, taxis are readily available and only cost $1.50. The staff are happy to call one for you or you can just wait on the street and hail one. We never waited more than a couple of minutes.

* such a nice hotel, best of all our trip * very good breakfast, different each day * free water to refill all day * big room, comfortable big beds * nice bathroom, good shower * didnt use the pool or stayed there * the main host could speak english alright * Wifi was good

* the location was- for galapagos distances - quite far from the rest - 30min walk to the port and restaurants (cab for only 1,50 dollars each way gets you there though)

Staff was absolutely wonderful, always willing to help. Very clean room and a nice warm shower. Breakfast was good and super fresh, although not a lot for us personally. Luckily when we asked for a bit more, it was not a problem. Would definitely book this hotel again!

Hotel is a little outside the city center, so you need to take a taxi or walk 15 min. For us it was no problem, we loved the quietness :)
