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!

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🙄

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
