This was one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. The staff was so friendly, caring, and supportive that we didn't want to leave. (Special shoutout to Enrique and Madelín at the front desk!)
The hotel is super clean. Our room was even mopped every day.
The pool and breakfast were amenities that made it even more worth staying.

We loved our stay at El Barranco! Cannot praise it enough: excellent location, brand new hotel and amenities, amazing infinity pool, their own pier going to the ocean, kayaking off the dock, you can see wild life right there, wonderful pool side bar and a bar-attender. Everything in this hotel was amazing and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We will never stay anywhere else. Do not hesitate to book! It is absolutely the best hotel on the island!

Amazing stay at el barranco. Excellent breakfast, great pool & drinks and fantastic staff!! They provide little things such as snacks in your room and do a deep clean daily! It was fun with multiple hotel guests watching the World Cup every night and surprisingly the rooms by the pool were very quiet and we couldn’t hear much of anything from the pool at all!! Beautifully maintained property as it is new and comfortable beds. The location is also unbeatable, less than 2 mins from the dock where you meet for all your tours and perfect walking distance to everything. We didn’t get the chance to use all the amenities such as kayaking and the bikes but next time. You can also catch turtles, sea lions, etc swimming on their own personal dock. Would definitely stay again and looking forward to next time!

Great hotel with amazing location in a beautiful inlet. We could see many marine animals and birds right from the poolside deck. They have kayaks and bikes for guests to use. Convenient location close to the dock and many restaurants, market and shops. Staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Very recommended

We stayed at this hotel for a full week, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff made us feel welcome and well cared for. The hotel is relatively new, beautifully maintained, and offers a peaceful atmosphere with absolutely stunning views.
One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast served every morning. It was consistently fresh, flavorful, and something we genuinely looked forward to each day. The staff were incredibly accommodating with any requests we had and were always happy to answer our questions about the island, offering helpful recommendations and local insight that made our trip even more enjoyable.
We also loved having access to the complimentary kayaks and bicycles, which were a fantastic way to explore the area. A special thank you to Madelin and Denzel, who were exceptional hosts throughout our stay, though every member of the team was phenomenal. They even helped arrange our transportation to and from the airport, making our trip seamless and stress-free.
The hotel is still completing work on a few rooms, but this had absolutely no impact on our stay. The property was well-kept, quiet, and comfortable throughout our visit.
If you’re looking for a beautiful place to stay with outstanding service, excellent amenities, and a team that genuinely cares about its guests, I highly recommend this hotel. We would not hesitate to stay here again and look forward to returning in the future.

Great hotel adjacent to downtown area of puerto Ayora. Staff was fantastic and helpful. Pool area was great and helpful for the kids to play (note there is no beach in town, it’s outside of town). Poolside bar was a nice touch as well. Had bikes to loan and a kayak for the lagoon it sits on. We loved this place.

We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it! The staff are incredibly friendly and willing to help, the morning breakfast had such variety, the location is only a 1/2 block from the pier, and the pool overlooks the canal. While in the pool, we saw marine a turtle, sea lions and marine iguanas.
Last note… the restaurant has the most incredible Ecuadorian ceviche for a better price than some of the nice restaurants in town!!! Highly recommend getting it. It’s big enough to share as a light meal, or by yourself if you are hungry.

I spent a few nights at Hotel Ninfa before transferring over to El Barranco. The difference is night and day including the shampoo, body soap, conditioner, etc. The pool dock is clean with the best bartender ever. Bikes are for rent, no time limit. The bedsheets and beds are new making it extremely comfortable after a whole day of excursion. That good night sleep is worth the extra money. We book a family room for a family of 4. Plenty of space for my daughter to do cartwheels. Internet connection may not be as good as the U.S. but it got us by.

Amazing hotel, great location, especially if you like being near the water and seeing the wildlife, the pontoon near the bar was great for an afternoon chilling. I managed to see frigates, sea lions marine iguanas and much more. Quiet rooms, good breakfast. The bar cocktails were great too, lovely staff. I’ll definitely be back when I come to Galapagos again
