Suymar Ecolodge Galapagos

Staff were incredibly attentive, they prepared us a custom dinner and breakfast wich we ate on the patio outside our room. The place is so cute, and obviously taken care of with love.

Først og fremmest mødes du af en rar familie, de er meget venlige og hjælpsomme. Lejligheden var stor, med godt toilet, en dejlig stor seng, og en god balcon til 2. Der er eget køleskab, hvilket vi godt kan lide. Poolen er stor og med rigtig lækker spa. En hyggelig ude restaurant hvor man kan spise morgenmad, og tilkøbe aftensmad (der var lækker) VI fik et spil billiard, der er også bordfodbold. Det tager ca 15 min med bus fra pourto Ayora, de går hele tiden og koster 1$ for 2 Taxa 5$ - men ikke så sjov. Marco arrangerer også ture: vi anbefaler turen til højlandet ( skildpadder)

Loved our stay here. Treated us just like family. Unique experience in the Galapagos

It felt like staying with a family. Everything is clean, the pool was lovely, the bed was extremely comfortable and all the food was delicious. They were happy to help arrange transportation to and from the airport or dock at a reasonable price.

We had a lovely night at the lodge. It was a family run hotel who made us feel so welcome. The bed was huge and comfortable, the family were on hand for absolutely anything. They even came running out with umbrellas as we headed out for a walk in the rain. The food was fresh and delicious. Breakfast was served outside our room on the veranda, which was fantastic and quite simply the best omelette I have ever tasted. We arranged a pick up from the pier, which was provided at a very reasonable cost.

Family running the hotel were very nice and it’s in a nice quiet area. The hotel owner can drop you off/pick you up at Puerto Ayora and from the boat pier.

Do not overlook staying in Bella Vista because you want to explore Puerto Ayora. I recommend you stay part time in both. Bella Vista is for if you want to experience something more local and I highly recommend that. I traveled solo and it was a perfect time for some quiet. Puerto Ayora is a short car ride away. You can also walk outside the hotel to the little park or on the walking trail which I recommend and and it’s very safe since it’s just walking in a country road. The locals are extremely nice. Venicio also tells you what each meal is and if the meal is common among locals. This was an amazing hotel to stay at in Bella Vista. Venicio was AMAZING. I recommend going during the week day so that you have more space to yourself. That’s what I did and it was wonderful. This lodge includes all meals (at an extra cost), taxi service (depending on availability and at an extra cost). Meals and taxi were at a reasonable price so I suggest you tip well because the service is excellent! It’s truly staying in a more local part of Santa Cruz, if you want to be away from the tourist side for a bit as well. Gorgeous rooms with lots of space.

Suymar seemed to be very well maintained. BUT it was in a very non-touristy area, and very isolated from Puerto Ayore. I had to cancel my reservation.

Incredible stay - would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay a little out of the port area but not too far

Clean room, breakfast was tasty. Coordination with pick up failed but mr. Vinicio helped me as far as tours to see the most out of my limited time.

I most liked the food we recieved and the gracious and very professional service. This hotel is ecological which is a good thing. But I missed having air conditioning. I MUST add that nights were cool and the fan was adequate. However after a hot day of touring!, I wanted to get cool faster. Nevertheless I still compliment the hotel for energy conservation.

The place was amazing. So clean and well cared for. The owner was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. He was able to call cabs for us and made sure we got back safely in the evening. It is cash only when you check in so be prepared. It is a little outside of town, about 15 min, $5 cab ride from Puerto Ayora, which was a little tough but everything else was wonderful.

Beautiful, cozy, friendly, great to enjoy with family!!! I travel with my 5-year-old son and we had the best time, super recommended!!!! 5 stars!!!

Bonificio and his staff were extremely helpful. Love the idyllic setting and Galapagos natural surroundings. Everything is perfect. Highly recommend. Easy access by taxi ($3-5) or bus ($0.50) to Puerto Ayora.

Very friendly good people and clean Very nice place

After an extremely tiring airline trip, we were exhausted. Then we arrived at at a refreshing retreat, Suymar Ecolodge, run by Vinicio and his wife. We were greeted with fresh and sweet melon in the patio. Our rooms were very clean. It was like a little sanctuary, with a garden and patio sitting area right outside our rooms, all of this gated off from the road. We felt very secure and private. We had dinner there since we were too tired to go into town. Vinicio's wife prepared a delicious dinner, reasonably priced, of fresh albacore, and chicken, and delicious banana dessert. They were very helpful, giving tips and offering to get a taxi for us the next morning, since we had to leave early for our cruise. It was a rural atmosphere, with rooster, hens and chicks, very relaxing. We all enjoyed it, and were sorry we couldn't spend a little more time there.
