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!

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.

We liked the laid-back feeling when the main road was closed in the evening and the music of the street musicians. We also liked the accessibility of shops, beaches, wildlife, information centre and harbour,
Above all, we appreciated every smiling face and helpful citizen in town.
The hotel itself was cool and quirky, the main reason why I booked this place. I believe all rooms are individually decorated which is a nice touch. The location of the hotel is quiet but close enough to the fish market and a few restaurants, no where in puerto ayora is difficult to get to by walking it's only a small town.
The shower was hot once the tap had been run and I'd say that the WiFi was 'Decent' compared to other hotels on the island.
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.
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!
The room was terrific - a spacious, comfortable bedroom, handy kitchen, and a nice sitting area. Patricia, the host, was wonderful - friendly, very helpful, and went the extra mile when we ran into travel issues (unrelated to our stay) during our trip. We were more than happy to return to this property when we went back to Puerto Ayora the following week - it really felt like going "home".
Good breakfast, nice hotel in a walking distance from town centre (or you can take a taxi for 1-1.5 dollars) and great, friendly and very helpful staff – a guy from reception took care about me during the whole stay and organised all trips (to Isabela, Pinzón, Seymour Norte and Santa Cruz- El Chato) for me with a local agency for better price, than you can find on internet.
We were so glad we booked this hotel. It was absolutely stunning. We were in the Southern Cross room at the top of the hotel, and it was gorgeous. Views on two sides of the harbour/sea/town, spacious and everything you need. The restaurant next to the water was really lovely, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend splashing out for the best rooms.
Best value for money by far in Puerto Ayora! It's all new and fresh, very clean and very safe. Hot water, room is cleaned daily, shampoo provided. The kitchen was amazing, very well equipped and free drinking water too. The location for us was perfect, being backpackers and on a budget meant that we saw more of the cheaper places to eat than there are in the town.
Great location near restaurants, shops and activities. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They set up an airport taxi for us and even served us breakfast earlier than normal breakfast time. Hotel grounds are beautiful and rooms all seem to have a little front porch. Rooms are not huge but big enough. Shower had hot water and good pressure.
We stayed in four different budget-friendly hotels in Puerto Ayora, this one was by far the best value for money. I love to cook and was really surprised to see quality kitchenware, a sharp knife and a gas cooker, all in excellent order. The owners clearly took pride in their business as the room was sparkly clean on arrival.
Couldn't ask for a better location in Puerto Ayora. Just a small block from the ferry docks and main shopping/dining area. The courtyard was beautiful and our room was spacious. The front desk staff was friendly and helped us with luggage storage on our checkout day and laundry service another day.
The hotel is away from the noise of the main street. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The room was large and bright. The bed was very comfortable with a good choice of pillows.
The rooftop hot tub and lounge area was lovely.
Breakfast was excellent.
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.
The sisters running the hotel are extremely caring and friendly. The WiFi is awesome (by far the best on the island). Kitchen is huge and clean and well organized. Water was always hot.
No air-conditioning, but we didn't even need the fan in the room.
The location is really good. Just a block from the main road and near the port.
The bed was comfortable.
The price is good for what you get, compared to the other hotels in Puerto Ayora.
It's fine if you are only staying for one or two night.
Great hotel in Puerto Ayora, only 5 minutes on foot from the pier. Nice breakfast, enticing pool with a pool bar. The staff are very friendly and always helpful. We appreciated laundry service. I would definitely choose this hotel again.
A hidden gem in Puerto Ayora. Clean room, solid breakfast, and the location is central and most importantly quiet! Pedro the owner is a wonderful host and enthusiastically assisted with all queries and requests. Highly recommended.
The property was in a great location, right by the trailhead of Tortuga Bay and also by Laguna de Ninfas, also very short walk to the center of Puerto Ayora. The pool and hot tubs were great. Overall the hotel was good.
