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 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 😎
i really would recommend staying here when you go to puerto ayora.
i stayed here for a couple of nights and had a good time. nice kitchen, rooms and bathrooms are clean.
most important of all is the staff and owner however, i had a problem with my bank and could not get any money which was kinda stressful, but the staff and owner helped me in a great way. thanks for the everything and i will be back!
you can also book daytours and ferries with the owner at good prices.
My husband and I live an Galapagos and have stayed in many hotels in Puerto Ayora. I particularly like this location a few blocks away from the center; it's so much more peaceful and quiet at night! Rooms are large, a/c works great, good hot water showers. We ate breakfast (not included - we bought supplies at the grocery and stored in the mini-fridge in our room) on the communal 2nd floor balcony. Also appreciate the free drinking water.
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 owner is very attentive and helpful. She organised tours and ferry journeys very quickly and accurately. She also let us use the hotel's washing line to dry our clothes, which we really appreciated. The kitchen was useful and I like the fact the fridge space was separated. I liked the location as it was closer to some more authentic Ecuadorian restaraunts that charge nowhere near the same prices as esrablishments on the seafront.
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".
The hotel was very clean and located in a central area. Also , we left in mornings for tours very early and Elizabeth woke up extra early to make a wonderful breakfast. She helped with tours, even took us on one , and showed us fantastic hospitality by taking us to an authentic ecuadorian restaurant for dinner. She make the trip so much better!
The Finch House is located near the market of Puerto Ayora, so quite central. There are a lot of shops and restaurants nearby. I had a room with a little kitchen. No stove, but a microwave and a fridge. It was very comfortable and clean. Mercedes, the owner, is very friendly and has good tips for tours. She really makes sure you feel at home.
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.
There are no words to describe how much I loved this place. The Chalet is located in one of the most beautiful places around Puerto Ayora, where you can hear the ocean and walk to the beach. The rooms were comfortable and they always kept them clean. Having a small kitchenette was super convenient also. Muchas gracias!
The hotel is located at the outskirts of Puerto Ayora. There are really nice views from the room. There are bikes provided by the hotel to drive around the port. The hotel personnel was very friendly and helped with tours / transports. The restaurant of the hotel provides excellent food (not included).
Very limited choices, same every day
Out of 5 nights we stayed there 3 mornings didn’t have avocado on the side.
You would think it’s not such a difficult request considering you are in Ecuador
Definitely not compatible with the price you are paying for the hotel.
Amazing location in Puerto Ayora with the nicest owner you will ever meet. Josy went above and beyond to help make my stay amazing - especially helping to coordinate tours and Covid restrictions. Definitely the most gracious host I have ever stayed with.
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.
The owner is extremely friendly and gives great advises to visit Santa Cruz and the other islands.
-The location of the hotel is perfect, really close to the pier.
- Balcony in the room
- The shared space at the 3rd floor with a stunning view
This is the most beautiful hotel and location. The views from the rooms are the best. The staff was extremely helpful. The cost was high, but I felt that it was the correct choice for our family of 8.
Very clean, looks nicer than average budget hostels in Ecuador, friendly staff, good location - 10 mins to the harbour, but also in a neighbourhood with comedores to eat more cheaply
Amazing hospitality, Nelyza was super nice and an amazing host who helped with everything and provided great recommendations on what to do in Puerto Ayora. Really felt like family!
