Place was good. I prefer more amenities and an updated hotel but this was ok for us except the bed. OMG the bed so hard. I’ve slept on firm before..:I don’t know what this was… extra, extra, extra firm. Literally tossed and turned and woke achy everyday. On the positive side, the staff were awesome and the daily room service was great and breakfast is cooked to order.

Very friendly staff and right in the heart of the city. Beautiful rooftop pool and city views. Near the main strip, coffee shops, and ice cream shops. There is a nice brewery close by too. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! Breakfast was just OK but does the job in the morning. Try the sand dollar pancakes if they make these- star of the show! Clean rooms.

This hotel is great for a place to rest after a long day of exploring. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The breakfast is basic but a great way to start the day. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. And the hammocks downstairs are a great place to hang out. I would definitely come back and stay, but only if I'm out and about for most of my stay.

This was a really nice hotel in the heart of Porto Ayora.  The pool looked very inviting, but we didn't have time to use it.  The only issue was that the beakfast left a lot to be desired.

i would strongly recommend to never book something over vigaltravel and especially not the darwin yacht! for those who just want to get the short information without reading the whole text: we got lied to, my boyfriend got hit by the guide with the dingi, crew hit on the single passangers and after the darwin had an accident they commited fraud and torn out a page of the captains logbook.

but lets start: we had a nice cruise until the first of march 2019. some passangers were not happy, but we were! then at 21.45 the boat hit something. many of the passangers felt the same. the next morning we woke up at the same spot again. (between baltra and santa cruz)
we were told that the boat caught a rope from a fisherman, even tough it sounded pretty different. that was the point when they should have moved us to another boat. (it is stated like that in the Policies of the company) they did not.
their suggestion was to drive around with the dingue for 3 hours without walking or snorkeling. no way! we insisted. so they drove us to puerto ayuro and we did a day trip from there. the guide promised us to do everything we missed on the next day.
in the evening we were on the darwin again and they promised us, that the boat will go to san cristobal this evening. they tried to fix the boat with two fishermen and a compressor with a motor (that is not only inefficient, is is also dangerous for the „divers“). the guide told us it would not be possible to do the things we missed because of the regulations. after 16 years of being a guide he should have known that before he made the promises. but we think he just lied.
we woke up the morning again at the same spot between baltra and santa cruz. now we were angry because they lied to us twice! we checked the captains logbook to see what really happended the night of the accident. a page was torn out the night of the accident!!! that is illegal! and defenitely not a coincidence..
