10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay close to everything

Amazing Hotel close to everything with very friendly staff, nice pool, great room, and all was perfect!
Carl, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lovely property in an excellent location right off the main pier. Nice pool and hot tub area with clean well air conditioned rooms. They use Elon Musks Starlink so the Wifi is great! Enjoyed omelettes, fruit, toast etc for breakfast and drinks at the bar. I recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
Janis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the location of the hotel, walking distance to the piers and supermarket. Safe area. The staff is very friendly and gave me all the best options and answers to my requests and questions.
Patricia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A hidden gem that is situated a short walk from the main avenue and activities area. Very accomodating, courteous and helpful. Great breakfast to start your mornings, with custom omelets and variety of cereals. Of course coffee and juices. Then when returned from tours, there is a adult bar, attended and games and a lounge area and pool. I would recommend and reserve again in future.
Penn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room had beds and little else. TV didn’t work. Bright white lights felt like we were in a hospital. Not charming, as the photos indicate. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Fine for a last minute overnight but not for a longer stay.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

Excellent location a short walk from the pier. Staff is friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable and they even included a small gift. Definitely will stay here if I return.

Magnífico !

Me fue muy bien en el hotel. Está bien ubicado, el personal es muy amable y eficiente en todas sus dependencias. Te proporcionan agua potable todos los días, está muy bien mantenido y aseado. El servicio incluido de préstamo de bicicletas para los huéspedes es muy funcional y útil. He quedado muy agradecido por sus atenciones en recepción, comedor, bar, piscina, camareras, servicios generales . Lo recomiendo .

6/10 Good

No wifi in room, only cold water, breakfast not much to choose, noise from the street at night. Overall not worth the money I spent
Ann-Sofie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is the best, the staff is ok but room had not vent in the bathroom which is unacceptable, the AC did not work well, the breakfast buffet did not have coffee, just colored water with not flavor at all. I booked the hotel online and I wasn't advise that next to my room there will be construction work the hotel told me at check in🙄
Marisol, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A very well maintained, beautiful hotel, located a 100 yards from both the main street and the beach promenade/shopping street. Some rooms overlook a narrow street with a tight S bend which can be a little noisy until the traffic dies down in the evening.

Great bar and pool

We enjoyed our stay here during a land based tour of various islands around the Galapagos. Enjoyed the pool and bar area after the days adventures. Close to the hustle and bustle of the Main Street without being right in the middle of it. My only complaint was WiFi wasn’t good in the rooms. Overall I would recommend
