We loved the location, the view, and the staff. The kids loved the pool. The only negatives are that it is an older property, could use an update, beds are very hard and Wi-Fi is weak.

Great location, friendly staff, no hot water.
Located in an amazing location towards the north end of town, waterfront views and within walking distance of most attractions. Staff was super friendly and met all our requests. Breakfast was simple but fresh. Yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs to order, coffee, etc. Two pools on the smaller side but my kids loved them. Rooms were simple but comfortable and clean. They offer laundry service which was a big plus for us. They kept our bags at the lobby since our ferry was scheduled 5 hrs after checkout. Like I said, every member of the staff was very attentive. The only downside is that there was no hot water in the shower. Is really eco friendly, but a little discomforting during chilly evenings. The temperature cannot be adjusted, is pre-set. I do recommend this property, but next time we might look into other options in town simply due to the shower issue.

Great location just off the dock. We were warmly greeted with a glass of juice and a truly lovely hostess. The breakfast area was overlooking the beach and the ambiance outside was terrific. Our room could use an update The bathrooms were original to the 1970's but most importantly, they were clean. We had a queen bed and two twins which worked for us but was a tad tight. The biggest frustration was that we could only get wifi from sitting in the outside hall or by the eating area. I understand the Galapagos just got wifi within the last year and this is definitely minor in terms of where we were at but it takes little to get an extender to have the signal reach the rooms. I had all my itinerary digitally so the lack of WIFI service made it tough. The location and the staff made this a good place. (BTW, not only was the staff great to us, but we met a fellow traveler, not staying here, who ran into a problem and this hotel staff took the time to help this person in need. Well done!!)

This hotel is pretty close to perfect! The staff was so friendly! Very eager to help. The location, view and amenities were great! Right on the water, cozy, simple, covered outdoor seating for breakfast, hanging out or watching the harbor. Two pools! Hammocks on every balcony! I loved this place and I’m already scheming to come back asap.
