Absolutely everything. Would recommend as one of the best hotel experiences around the world HANDS DOWN

They shoud imporve communication prior to the arrival and provide more detailed info on the logistic, especially the airport transfer which is quite complicated as you have to change from the public bus to private boat (in our case we ended in a public ferry despite paying for the boat, no refund), the private car, ferry again and a walk with unclear directions.

The only hotel with own beach, close to the main attractions. Getting there is a bit complicated as you need to use either the hotel shuttle boat or water taxi (one dolar per person) to get from the town. And later walk app. 0.5 km to the hotel. But it is worth it. Recommended.

It's a family-friendly hotel, and while I think that's fine, the fact that there were children running around, jumping in the pool, screaming etc., kind of took away from the serenity of the experience.

The location was spectacular and the breakfast was just delicious. The staff were incredibly kind and the boat taxi was very efficient. I would absolutely come back here.

over priced for facilities offered in rooms

Location. Efficient staff.

The beds in the room we stayed could be a bit bigger (they were 2 double beds) and if they were queen size beds it would have been amazing

Beautiful property beachfront with really helpful and friendly staff. The spa was really nice and breakfast was delicious. The boat tours were both really nice (we did the South Plaza and Bartolome). I wish I knew about the tours as soon as I did the hotel booking as some of the tours were fully booked and with guests from other hotels.

the menu could have been more variated. Everyday was the same Manu, at the pool or the restaurant, and it got a bit difficult to find different items to eat, not enough salads and small dishes

location and overall feel of the hotel

The room is not large and the wifi was not as high speed as expected.

Service is incredible, always available to provide the best experience. The pool and front beach is a differential. Food in the hotel is high quality. The rooms are very clean. The courtesy breakfast is very good.

Stayed in April 2023

The food selection at lunch and dinnertime was limited, always the same items. When you stay for one week it kinds of get monotonous. Also missing are healthy snacks for the pool, and a larger selection of salads. I wish there were shorter boat day excursions.

The pool was amazing, the rooms very clean and the location of the property fantastic. The boat excursions were amazing, guides and staff really great.

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 were very small, still comfortable but expected more for the high price being paid

Great facilities (pool, bar) and amazing breakfast spread

This hotel is incredible: the location, the organization, the breakfasts. If you want a real treat, this is it. Their tour guide was maybe my favourite part. Finch Bay also did their utmost to help organize our trip back from Isabela Island to mainland Ecuador. I mean, it's very expensive, so you pay for it, but it was a really nice treat.

I liked everything, but expected the room to be a little bigger. That was made up for with the cozy seating around the pool and in the lobby.

The Finch Bay property was beautiful, clean and off the beaten path which gave it a very special feel. Staff went out of the way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We loved the little walk from the pier to the hotel. Breakfast was delicious too!

The staff could not have been nice or more helpful. in particular, Renado helped us navigate the crazy ferry system when our boat was delayed by a tsunami- he went above and beyond.

rooms were very small and boat to property didn’t run late ebough

beautiful setting

You have to get a water taxi to the hotel which is cute at first but means any trip into town takes at least 15 minutes

Spa was amazing, hot tub was great and massages were unbelievable and very reasonably priced. The pool was great. The food at the restaurant was also really good and offers a mix of Ecuadorian and western options. We mostly got the Ecuadorian things which were excellent. A lot of the dishes are enough to share between two people.

No private beach. Unable to see the ocean from our suite. Noise level constant from the beach. Constantly being tracked on our whereabouts.

If you’re looking to go on a quiet holiday with your partner, come out of season. The hotel was taken over by noisy, hyper-active rich kids. So much so that my husband and I could never use the pool, as it was constantly full of kids, from morning to night. We also opted to eat elsewhere where we could have some quiet time to ourselves. It felt like we were visiting Disney World and we could never enjoy a peaceful afternoon at this pricey hotel without kids running about unsupervised, chasing away the birds. The beach in front of the hotel is a public beach. It is noisy from early in the morning until late in the evening, making the expensive ocean view suites less private. The staff should pay more attention to picking up litter all around the property (some of which had been laying about for days!). The free wifi at the port didn’t work which made finding a water taxi back to the hotel a hassle every time.

It is definitely the best you’ll get in Galápagos, but very over-priced. Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Friendly, helpful staff who speak passable English. The excursions to different islands are a must. The boats are comfortable and the guides are excellent!
