Spoiled. Totally spoiled by Blu Galapagos. Everything was over the top perfection. The hotel is on the waterfront near the Charles Darwin Research Center and just enough on the edge of town that you feel isolated yet still within a five minute walk to the heart of this sweet port town. We stayed in the Darwin Suite which is primo for celebrating a loved one or yourself. I’ll be back for sure.

Hotel staff were friendly and very accommodating. Every evening they will ask you what time your excursions start, hot breakfast is served after 630am but if you are leaving for an excursion around that time they will make sure to have a boxed breakfast ready for you. Claudia, Carolina, and Jose were so wonderful and knowledgeable about the area. Carolina has the best restaurant recommendations!

Beautiful quiet and attractive port in a bay with turquoise water full of aquatic and terrestial wildlife and colourful flora. Extremely safe, everyone residents and tourists polite, respectful and friendly. Good selection of restaurants and souvenir shops. The harbour lovely to walk around and encounter sea lions, pelicans, iguanas, frigates and much more. Fra Fre, the Rock, Red Tuna among some of the restaurants worth visiting.

Puerto Ayora is a place where you can enjoy the nature and have the facilities of touristic places like different restaurants, bars, etc. Unfortunately, because of those facilities the fauna has gone to other islands like San Cristobal so that is a downside, but if you go with family it is a great place to get a screenshot of what Galapagos is.

A small but beautiful city.
A small but beautiful city. It was a fishing village but has been transformed to a tourist town. The main street -- Ave. Charles Darwin, is full of life, literally -- sea lions, iguanas, pelicans, etc. It's an adventure like no other.

It's a nice, friendly town.
It's a nice, friendly town. It's got plenty of ATMS, several grocery stores, and a lovely oceanfront walk. The fish market is a must see in the morning. There are sea lions who hang around waiting for scraps. I also saw iguanas and pelicans waiting for handouts. There's very nice bars, restaurants, and market stalls. It's a little spendy, because you're on an island. There's things you can do for free, on your own. There's also TONS of tour companies running day trips to all the nearby islands. You can walk most anywhere, and there are cheap taxis as well.

The touristy part and the harbor to the Darwin research...
The touristy part and the harbor to the Darwin research center was full of shops, restaurants both cheap and expensive, street food, and travel agencies. People are friendly and it’s clean and safe.
Los Kiosko is an intense street where people are coming at you with menus trying to get you come to them - at the same time. But they have specials for $5 lunch or dinner plus a regular menu with cheap meals too. Great Ecuadorian food! We ate ice cream everyday! There was a little froyo place on Baltra and a gelato place down the same street closer to the harbor that was excellent. We found pan de yucca at a street food vendor that was magical, though not always open.
Sea lions are everywhere near the water (not in the same capacity as San Cristobal but still).
You can watch blue footed boobies diving into the water all the time and the frigits are out in mass as well!
Everyone is happy.
Also we found our favorite travel agency with the Galapagos Living Travel Agency. They were fair priced and hilarious. Lots of laughs and planning of epic next day adventures.
Patricia and Washington were wonderful hosts, always accommodating us and making sure we had everything we needed while respecting our privacy. The house is beautiful, extremely comfortable, and clean. Beds were remade every day and we received new towels regularly. Great jacuzzi. It was sad to leave. It is about a 10 min walk from the main street in Puerto Ayora where all the restaurants and national park were. Plenty to do with affordable taxis nearby to get you where you need to go if you don’t like walking.
Great location for a good price. Friendly staff. The aircon was decent enough to keep the room cool. The bed is huge, as it is two small double beds put together, and you don't notice any gap in the middle. Next door to one of the best restaurants in town and close to everything else, including the best beach in Puerto Ayora, playa de la estación. Decent kitchen with plenty of seating, and free drinking water. Plus you can leave your bags in the hostel after checkout.
Firstly, this place is very reasonably priced, especially for the Galápagos. Elias was extremely helpful (we spoke to him in Spanish) and gave us helpful advice on everything from local restaurant recommendations to best beaches to how to plan a day cycling in the highlands. We rented bikes for just $10 per day from the hotel and they were in good condition. Besides this, the room was comfortable and cleaned every day. Also, free bananas!
The staff at the Finch Bay hotel were extremely welcoming, the food was excellent (both for breakfast and dinner) and the location was incredibly special. The walk from the water taxi drop off was longer than expected but so unusual to arrive at a destination this way so it wasn’t a problem. I can honestly say this was the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at. There was a feeling of quality and friendliness that made our stay very special.
The rooms are spacious and spa-like. We loved the all day coffee and tea station, and free filtered water to refill our water bottles. Very comfortable beds, dark drapes, and delicious breakfast to suit your needs (we were given vegan options every morning upon request). Our family used Puerto Ayora as a jump off point for day excursions. We were always so happy to come home to Cucuve.
Great location in Puerto Ayora. The flat came with a full kitchen which is perfect if you do not want to eat outside all the time.
the rooms are spacious with air condition.
local stores, restaurants and diving centers within less than 10 min walk.
the main street is reached within 10-15 min walk.
Patricia is really kind and helpful,ready to help if needed.
Hotel is walking distance to restaurants, stores, and supermarket. Very unique décor throughout hotel. Big spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Nice breakfast up on 3rd floor. Staff were friendly and helped getting us an air conditioned taxi for $25 to take us to ferry when en route to airport. Filtered water on site to fill your own water bottle.
We loved our stay at Hotel La Casa de Judy! It’s a short walk off the main the stretch of Puerto Ayora, but it’s still close to everything. The room was large and spacious, with a great view of the bay and coastline. The staff were very nice and helpful and breakfast every morning was fresh and delicious. We’d definitely stay here again!
Good value for money - it was actually the cheapest option in Puerto Ayora the days we were looking for a room for three. It's pretty distant from the port but not an issue. The room was OK, very clean but lucks some furniture to put your belongings and there was no hot water in the shower. Decent kitchen, enough to prepare your food.
The staff is absolutely wonderful. They are the most considerate staff I have ever encountered in a hotel. Not only pleasant to talk to, but carrying luggage, ordering a taxi, anything to help make your stay better. Special thanks to Omer, Daniel & the lady that cooked our breakfast each day. (Sorry, didn't catch her name)
great location right by the pier in puerto ayora. the place seems very dated and old, but comfortable enough for a few nights, especially considering the price. there is a kitchen with free drinking water. there was a nice, remote controlled fan which kept the room cool. i would stay here again
The staff in this hotel was so nice. They helped us to organize all our trips on the Galapagos Islands for the cheapest prices possible and even stored our luggage for days. There is a huge and very clean kitchen that can be used and the rooms are huge and convinient.
Mercedes is a very very nice host and very attentive. For my stay I felt a bit at home, I liked the beautiful place a lot, also because not being in the center of Puerto Ayora. The patio is great for reading outside even when raining.
Great location, easy to find, quiet evwn though it is on one of the main streets in Puerto Ayora. Staff was helpful with recommendations and they stored my luggage for ne for 3 days while I traveled to Isabela.
Nice basic breakfast each morning. Pool is very nice as is the outside bar area. The location of the hotel is perfect for us. Less than a 5 minute walk into town but far enough away to be very quite.
Nice hotel close to the busy tourist street in Puerto Ayora. The restaurant is a must see as you can see baby sharks, rays and sea lions swimming in front of the terrace.
The staff was very friendly and there was water you could take. There are stores around the hotel so you can grab some food there since the hotel doesn't serve any.
