This hotel was close to the water,shops and main road. It was at the end of the road so it was quiet. We were on the top floor with the balcony facing the sea. It was an awesome view. The room was spacious clean and yes the water flow for the shower requires fixing. We did swim in the pool... More

The hotel is in a great location. It's at the end of the ocean front walkway. The tourist shops and restaurants are a stone throw away. There's sea lions that like to bask right in front of the hotel on the walkway. The staff is ready to help you in any way, but the hotel needs the most help. We... More

The location is outstanding. The outside dining and food are great. However the rooms need work. Hot water was sometimes unavailable and sometimes scalding. Finding a happy medium was a challenge and one could feel a strong sense of accomplishment when completed. Some light bulbs were burnt out and one member of our group had no electricity in their room... More

This was our first stop in the Galapagos and we had no idea what to expect. This was probably the nicest inn in the area and felt very homey. The food was really great and even though they didn't provide a menu they ask when you check in if there is anything you don't eat. Our food was all really... More

Wasn't sure what to expect after reading some reviews but all in all this was a pleasant little hotel. Not a 5 star resort by any stretch, but I wouldn't expect too much on an island that has a population of around 2000 people.The staff were truly exceptional and made our entire tour group feel like honored guests in their...

This was our first stop on our Galapagos trip and I discovered quickly that many houses and properties are in a constant state of building- new floors being added or walls being finished. So seeing construction equipment or exposed re-bar isn't necessarily indicative of a bad property. The hotel is in the midst of adding another floor and the pool... More

It is a shabby , run down, dirty and depressing place! Our travel agent booked us for 2 nights and we are desperately trying to leave earlier. The airco is so loud that you can't leave it on for the night. The mosquito nets are full of holes. The room is full with urine smell. The bathroom is falling into... More

Just back from two days there. San Cristobal doesn't have luxury hotels so you need to keep that in mind when deciding to stay there. We had an ocean view room and it was clean. Good location right on the boardwalk, malecon. No complaints about the place and you are woken up in the mornings by the sea lions making... More

This place had potential once upon a time. We were in the back. They should not even rent these rooms. They are dark dank and buggy. They look out on a pool that was rimmed with slime. Breakfast was made in a shed by the pool. They cleaned the dishes in an old sink by the pool. Maybe if we... More
