The best available Resorts to stay near Galapagos Islands

May 5, 2023 Brain Ambrose

Abundant wildlife above and below the waves draws eco-tourists to Ecuador's Galapagos. Get up close on a stroll or in a Zodiac boat. Snorkel and dive with denizens of the deep, from sea lions to sea turtles at Santiago's Cousin's Rock. Hike by finches, flamingos and iguanas along the Darwin Trail. Admire Sierra Negra Volcano on Isabela. As visitor numbers are limited within the islands' National Park, book your boat tour through a tour operator. Visit January through April for the best snorkeling.

We stayed 3 nights here as part of a group and really enjoyed our time. The room was very spacious and the views were incredible. The breakfast each morning was nice and we really liked spending time on our patio off the room. Would recommend again for sure.

Beautiful place to stay

We were recommended here by our friends. It was perfect. The beach view was the best. We were in room #3. Pedro at the front desk is the man. We had layover time in Baltra and his suggested to go to the highlands and see the craters. He arranged our cab for the trip. Thank you Jonathan for booking our ferry rides and our breakfast for the ride over. The food here is excellent. Breakfast was included. The tortoise sanctuary is a short walk. Lots to see. I especially loved the marine iguanas. Definitely coming back and staying here again.

A beautiful oasis

Reviewed By Stephanie L

I stayed here for two nights in May. I gasped the moment I walked inside the front gate because of how lovely the courtyard was. Then when I saw my room, I was again amazed it was so spacious and pretty. Among the other things I liked about this place: the comfortable bed, the nice balcony with a hammock, the attentive and kind host Joseline, the delicious breakfast, and the location, which was only a few minutes walk to everything.

This is a truly lovely hotel! What a pleasant surprise- excellent service, wonderful and helpful staff, and breathtaking views!!! The rooms are very clean and tidy with all basic amenities. There is a coffee, tea, and water station if you need anything or are up earlier than the restaurant opens (which is at 6:30am). I enjoyed every minute of my time at this hotel and will definitely recommend it to others!!

Great location

Reviewed By DCCR336

Stayed here with family on a business trip for an extended stay. We cannot say enough about the staff. We might as well have been staying in their home. The owner made sure to check on us and provide all the information we needed to make our trip successful. The staff work so hard to accommodate your every need. If I were to say one thing negative it would be the bed. Definitely time to upgrade. It was like sleeping on a board/floor, but did not ruin our stay in the least. It can also be loud at night, but again not a reason to pass staying here. The food at the restaurant was very good, but make sure to venture out because there are a lot of other good options close by. Having Wendy (the resident sealion) and Lulu (Wendy's daughter) visit was definitely the highlight. Wendy minded her own business and let the kids swim around her. Lulu on the other hand wanted the entire pool to herself. She had fun swimming around the water and stealing the kid's flip flops/snorkel and mask, but did not ruin them. She just wanted to have some fun. Once Wendy was finished swimming with her daughter she kicked me out of my lounge chair. It was hilarious! Lots of other sea life right off the restaurant patio - sea turtles, sharks, crabs, etc. We all had a wonderful stay and were sad to leave. Absolutely would stay here again...until next time - adios
