Clean and spacious facility with attentive and helpful staff. Well situated to walk to all areas of Puerto Ayora, while being set back from the main streets so that it is quiet. Enjoyed my stay.

10/10 Exceptional

This property is so unique in its design--like a Spanish villa. TIt is clean, bed comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was helpful and spoke enough English to communicate. The French/Spanish/English speaking young woman was outstanding. Very polite & did a great job of explaining about not using the water to brush our teeth or drink on the Islands, how they provided bottled water & a refill station. The breakfast was nice--eggs as omelet, fried, or scrambled. The mango juice was EXCELLENT! As was the papaya & pineapple we ate with breakfast. There is not an elevator so if you have difficulty hauling your luggage (they will help)--or yourself up multiple, narrow flights of stairs, you should ask for a ground level room.

Functional. Nothing fancy. But practical. Not on the waterfront. But the Marina is literally few minutes away. Lot of dining options. Athenia was very helpful at the front desk.

The Honeymoon Suite (same price as other rooms) is absolutely beautiful - rounded ceiling, ample space, private balcony, and 180 windows. The bed was huge and comfortable. Staff was highly attentive and provided many recommendations throughout. Would highly recommend!

The staff was horrible not friendly at all extremely expensive for a hotel that does not give 5 star experience. Rooms are outdated. Bathroom is ridiculously small. Tv reception was bad, wifi reception was bad. Breakfast , was the same breakfast everyday. For 200 a day you expect better.

Great location with a unique look and feel. The rooms are just okay, but the service was incredibly friendly and the breakfast was nice. It’s a place you’ll never forget just because if it’s unique vibe.

Great for family
good condition, only 4 mins walking distance to the pier (main street ) and the only fish market on the island, where you can buy lobster and brujo fish. 10 mins walking distance to the Charles Darwin Research Center.
