All of the staff is very friendly and go above and beyond to help you. Breakfast was great, the free cofee and hot/cold water was a plus. We booked a half day tour in their tour agency and had a great experience. Located just a few minutes walking distance to restaurants, markets, souvenir shops, tour agencies etc.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The staff is incredible - so friendly and helpful! We booked one of our tours through their travel agency as well and thought it was great. The hotel organized our transportation to and from the airport, which was nice because it involved a car, water taxi, and bus. Very much recommend this place if you are staying on Santa Cruz in the Galapagos!

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very friendly, cordial. We arrived early and they made every effort to have our room ready as soon as possible without even asking. They greeted us with a glass of cold tea which was very good and much needed because we were thirsty from walking from the pier to the hotel. They also let us know that the breakfast time had already finished but since the following day we were leaving early to take the ferry they could offer us the included breakfast on the day of our arrival, so we had a wonderful and homey breakfast with eggs, ham, cheese, coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt and it was heaven because we had just come by ferry and hadn't had time to have breakfast. They had water, coffee and tea at the lobby all day. We could walk to the main pier and shopping and dining areas easily, safely and comfortably.

Friendly staff and great breakfast
We really enjoyed the 3 nights we spent here. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. They stored our luggage when we went to another Island for a couple of days. The rooms on the first floor are a little noisy, but we are early risers, so it was okay.

We stayed for one night at this property and everything was great! The room was well appointed and even had a mini fridge. We were given delicious juice upon arrival. Water pressure was great. Their common areas/bar are really cool and this is a unique and fun property. We will be back!

This property was awesome for a stay and we wish we would have been able to stay longer. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable. The little kitchen area was a wonderful amenity in the room and the 2nd sink was so handy to have for 3 adults sharing a room. The staff was super friendly and even made us to go breakfasts the minute they arrived since our ferry was leaving at the exact time breakfast officially started. It was a perfect stay! My only complaint was that we were not there longer!

Lovely little spot with lovely staff. I will say: between rain on the various metal and plexiglass surfaces, guests getting up at 6am, and in general lots of activity in the dining area early in the morning and into the evening, I didn't sleep great. It's noisy.
