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!

Beautiful quiet and attractive port in a bay with turquoise water full of aquatic and terrestial wildlife and colourful flora. Extremely safe, everyone residents and tourists polite, respectful and friendly. Good selection of restaurants and souvenir shops. The harbour lovely to walk around and encounter sea lions, pelicans, iguanas, frigates and much more. Fra Fre, the Rock, Red Tuna among some of the restaurants worth visiting.

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.
Great location with a stunning view of a lagoon and the sea, very large rooms well equipped. Daily cleaning, incl. bath towels and free coffee.
We rented the upper two floors with 3 bedrooms, kitchen with dining table, 2 living rooms, 3 showers and 4 toilets. Enough space for a family with children. The villa is only accessible from Puerto Ayora by water taxi. This is not a problem as the water taxis operates 7/24. We never had to wait more than 10' for a water taxi and we always enjoyed the ride on the water taxis.
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 😎
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".
The Finch House (La Casa del Pinzón) is your best bet in Puerto Ayora if you are travelling like us with small kids and needing space and amenities for cooking. Perfectly located a couple of blocks from the port and main attractions, we enjoyed the calm and green of this place. Our hosts were particularly attentive to our (many!) needs. We had an excellent stay here and would stay 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.
If island hopping, you must pass through Puerto Ayora/Santa Cruz several times. We used this B&B for a brief overnight stop and to catch an early morning ferry to Isla Isabella. The owner is chatty and helpful, and happy to give out information and advice. We liked the place despite our brief stay. It is located very c; close to the main tourist restaurant street.
Hotel is walking distance to restaurants, stores, and supermarket. Very unique décor throughout hotel. Big spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Nice breakfast up on 3rd floor. Staff were friendly and helped getting us an air conditioned taxi for $25 to take us to ferry when en route to airport. Filtered water on site to fill your own water bottle.
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.
right in the center of Puerto Ayora
2 minutes walk from the port (departing tours and boats for other islands) and the buses (airport)
staff was nice and organized my diving tour and my Isabela day tour
complimentary water, hot drinks
rooms are done everyday
wifi is pretty good for the Galapagos except in the rooms
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.
What a lovely little hotel. Great location with a lovely pool and hot tub the breakfast was always nice and the staff very helpful and friendly I would definitely recommend this hotel. The staff were an asset they couldn’t do enough to help.
Gala House oś located in a quiet part of Puerto Ayora away from the busy and touristy downtown. The property is modern and clean and the owners very kind and helpful. The price is excellent for what the place offers.
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.
Nice hostel in downtown Puerto Ayora. Comfortable room, large bed, quiet. Shared kitchen useful to make breakfast. Possible to do laundry. Cleaning of the room done every day.
