Ikala was the perfect hotel for my stay in Puerto Ayora. It’s two blocks from the pier, close to all the tour guide offices, close to all the restaurants and shopping. As a single female, I felt safe and well cared for. The rooms were very spacious, clean and comfortable. There’s a great restaurant with a view, pool and bar. The front desk spoke English which I was grateful for since I don’t speak Spanish. I will definitely stay here again as I plan to go back as soon as possible.

Unique and tranquil. The coffee situation and not being available is my only complaint. Most people are early risers and would like coffee watching sunrise. Period!

This hotel is in the ideal location about five minutes from the public pier where all of my boat tours departed from. I absolutely loved my large, very clean airy and modern room with a lovely view from the large windows. I wanted a top notch hotel and this definitely met my expectations. Checkin was very easy and friendly and they took my bags to my room for me. Service was excellent. I really enjoyed the breakfast each morning; very fresh, clean area, with a beautiful view of the water. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Ikala is a charming boutique-type hotel. The rooms are spacious and perfectly situated near the pier and very close to the best shopping and restaurants. The hotel staff are all EXCELLENT - polite, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. They were very helpful with Galapagos sight-seeing recommendations and tours. The rooftop restaurant with city/coastal views is a unique feature and absolutely breathtaking. Lastly, we really enjoyed having access to free bikes to leisurely stroll around the island. We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and could not have been more pleased with our selection.
