“Great hotel for couples or families as a base in Santa Cruz”
29 Jan 2025
Oscar and the hotel staff are super helpful. Arranging taxi on arrival from Baltra island and assisting every day throughout our 4 night stay. We also made use of their laundry service, that was very efficient. The hotel has a pool, spa pool and small gym, with table a tennis table. All good fun. You need a taxi for town but it is only 5 minutes and 2 USD, including tip. Breakfast is great and early enough for most trips. On the day we set off to early we had a breakfast to go provided, great service.

“Comfortable room, very noisy place”

The room is nice and comfortable, the bed is comfortable, and the shower runs well, which is not a given in Galapagos. The staff were nice and helpful. Nice laundry service.

“Great stay & wonderful staff”
21 Aug 2024
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!

“Very nice option”
18 Jun 2024
Very nice hotel. Small, like home. Rooms are spatious, and nice (not like Hilton, but excellent for the place). Very nice 60" Smart TV. Good shower. Comfortable. Staff is excellent. Thanks, boys! It's nice to walk around - you can see tortoises walking freely. A bit far from city centre, but taxis pass in front all the time, and you can get one in 5 minutes. Never waited longer in 5 days. Breakfast is good. Simple, but good, with local delicacies, like empanadas.

“Perfect place for holiday”
