We loved this hotel! Great value!
The room was clean and spacious. The air conditioning worked great.
The staff were exceptional! They were kind and helpful and very welcoming.
The kids loved the pool and hot tub.
The breakfast was good. Drinking water was provided in the hallway.
We liked being a few minutes outside of town to escape the busy tourist strip. It was a 7 minute taxi ride ($2 one way) to the downtown strip and taxis were very easy to catch.
There are fancier options out there, but for the price, this hotel was an excellent choice for us!

The room was very clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel was very quiet at night, which was really good for sleeping. The continental breakfast was good. The distance from the hotel to Puerto Ayora is about 1.4 miles; about a 6-minute drive (the cost is $2 one-way) or a 15-minute walk. The front desk can coordinate a taxi for you if needed. Walking at night was very safe from Puerto Ayora to the hotel.

Away from loud noise. Rooms are always cleaned. Staff are very helpful, courteous, friendly. Breakfast choices are simple , good and healthy. Amenities are minimal,
Just no elevator, but tolerable. 3-5 ninutes to town by taxi $2.00 (yes $2.00).
This would have cost me $5-7 in L.A.
I will definitely stay here again.

Breakfast was fresh, but skimpy and only offered during narrow 90 minute window. Place is not convenient to downtown. Staff doesn’t speak English, but eager to help.

We stayed here for 3 nights and everything was great. The room was spacious and clean, the pool and jacuzzi area were always clean with towels. They had a nice breakfast in the mornings. There are 2 mini markets nearby for your essentials, and its a short taxi ride to town. Oscar and Ronal were very attentive in helping me book a tour, give recommendations of places to eat and even help me book a ferry on my last day. Overall, I would 100% recommend this hotel to family and friends.
