We had really nice stay in this accomodation. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. All parts were clean and very well maintained. We especially enjoyed big roof terrace and small but nice garden. The breakfast was simple but tasty. And the best is definitelly the staff, as it is very helpfull and caring. Just the wifi connection was a tragedy as it worked only next to the reception. But we were informed about it which is fair.

- very friendly staff; the owner and her daughter was not only friendly, on top of that she asked us every morning about our plans for the day and gave us a lot of helpful information After seeing my sunburn, she has given me a very useful Aloe-Vera-Gel for free and because of the fact, that we've had to check-out early before breakfast because of our ferry, she has given us a breakfast to go. That's great service! - great room - the WLAN is not perfect, but compared with other hotels at the Galapagos Islands, it is quite good

We were so glad we booked this hotel. It was absolutely stunning. We were in the Southern Cross room at the top of the hotel, and it was gorgeous. Views on two sides of the harbour/sea/town, spacious and everything you need. The restaurant next to the water was really lovely, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend splashing out for the best rooms.

    I was a stunning hotel, staff wanted to help in any way, they did a personalised schedule for me during my stay. Also went out of their way to cater for my vegan diet. Even on their bbq buffet the chef had prepared me a full vegan feast. I had been out there for 5 weeks volunteer working in another island, so this was my treat on my way back home. I was made to feel so special, it was the finishing touch to a special time.

    Nice town with plenty of restaurants, shops and pubs: I liked a bit more Puerto Villamill on Isabella Island which is not as developed as Puerto Ayora. Very good one day excursions: I'd recommend to shop around and buy excursion on site to avoid surcharge from the agencies

    Wildlife is within easy walking distance.

    Wildlife is within easy walking distance. No need for a tour to see marine iguanas, sea lions, Sally Lightfoot crabs, and brown pelicans. Blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds fly near the pier. Sharks are always near the pier and sea turtles come by occasionly. The walk out to Las Grietas is pleasant but the water, even though very scenic, is Very cold. Touristy and expensive restaurants are along Charles Darwin Street. Inexpensive restaurants are on Binford Street where a meal with a fruit juice drink is $5 or $6. Good food. Giant lobster tail for $30.
