The hotel offers compact yet comfortable rooms, but the lack of soundproofing was a letdown given the high price paid. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who enhanced the overall experience. The location, while providing easy access to town via a free water taxi, was a bit too hot for swimming. The dining experience was delightful, especially for special occasions with warm welcomes and personalized touches.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The location is stunning with direct access to the public beach, offering easy access to all the wonders of the Galapagos. The service was personalized, and the staff made our special occasion memorable. However, the room lacked privacy and freshness might've been better. The dining experience was generous, and the facilities were adequate for a relaxing stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were basic and had a view of the ocean, but they were not up to par for the price paid. They overlooked a walkway, and all the other rooms were facing us, which was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the service was amazing, with staff holding my nicely cooked fried egg; they were unbelievably nice and accommodating. The hotel's location was incredibly special, offering easy access to all the wonders present in the Galapagos, although it cost $1 US per person to get to Santa Cruz Island. The dining experience was great, with a warm welcome and a special celebration during lunch, even if it was the same every day.

The hotel offers a nice location with convenient access to town via a free water taxi, providing a secluded yet accessible experience. The rooms may lack modernity and privacy due to their simple design and proximity to common areas, but the service is outstanding with various amenities included. The dining experience, although repetitive, offers warm welcomes and special touches for celebrations.
