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

This hotel is part of a group of hotels, but the "feel" is mom-and-pop. The property started out small but is being added to on a daily basis. There may be some light construction noise during the day, but mostly this property is very quiet. There are only 11 rooms and each is air conditioned. The rooms are all quirky,... More

The rooms are very nice, clean and spacious. View breathtaking. Food and staff excellent. The only thing that could use some help are the bathrooms. Need some maintance- handles fall off, nowhere to put anything, need some shelves.

To be honest, when we first arrived, we were surprised and dismayed at the room we were given. Located in the back of the establishment by the pool, we found our room to be in serious disrepair - broken fixtures, tattered walls and linens, etc. We understand September is the time when repairs are usually made, and perhaps maintenance of...
