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 is located very close to Santa Cruz pier/ city center. And downstairs they have one coffee shop and one Ecuadorian resto, which of great taste/ quality.
The owner Juan Carlos, has been helping me arranging my activities in Galapagos, helping me with laundry as well as allow me to stay until 3pm because I have late afternoon ship. They really make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
From the common room you can also see the turquoise water of Santa Cruz and the pier
It is also good value for money.
The hotel room was very spacious and beds comfortable. Filtered water on every floor. Oscar and his cousin were helpful,courteous, and friendly! The breakfast was excellent. Pool was good, if you want to use the jacuzzi you have to reserve it. Even thought the hotel is up the hill from downtown area taxi ably $1.50 each way. The hotel has a rooftop area for lounging with a beautiful view of the city and ocean. I would recommend this hotel and will stay here again when visiting Santa Cruz 😎
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.
Nice quite location. Pleasant 6mts walk to the city center. Good pool, and whirlpool.
Excellent staff. I dropped my wallet on the floor in the room. Next morning the front desk handed it over to me
Good breakfast. Quite spacious and ecologically pleasant surroundings.Provides airport pick off and drop off. I enjoyed my 5 day stay. Super service from hotel staff. Salomi goes out of her way to ensure a pleasant stay. Wonderful hostess.
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.
This is a lovely, family-run hotel. It is right in the heart of things (restaurants, shops, sights), but is extremely quiet. Breakfast is excellent. The bed is comfortable. It was pretty hot during my visit but the air conditioner kept the room at a very comfortable temperature. I recommend this hotel t5o other travelers and if I were to return to Puerto Ayora I would stay here again.
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.
Casa cascada is a lovely place in Puerto Ayora. The beds are comfortable, facilities clean, staff is helpful and accommodating and the price is very affordable for Puerto Ayora. It is a safe 15 minute walk or so to the waterfront. The staff helped me secure a ferry ticket when they were sold out and assisted me in planning my trip.
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.
We loved the creative and artistic touches throughout the space. Elena is a kind, warm and helpful host. The quiet location is perfect for exploring the beautiful beach and just a few minutes walk to central Puerto Ayora. Our room had a lovely flower- filled porch. Breakfast is fantastic at the cafe in the lower level.
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 hotel is situation in an excellent location, just minutes walk to the Seafood market, Darwin Station and the many restaurants and brew pubs that exist in Santa Cruz. The hotel had a beautiful, quiet property and the rooms were comfortable and spacious.
The team who runs this hotel is so friendly and accommodating! They really made me feel welcomed both times I stayed with them and provided lots of help in making transportation plans!
The hammock in the bedroom was a lovely little perk!
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.
