Finch bay is a fantastic hotel that I will definitely recommend to anyone going to Santa Cruz. We stayed for 2 days and I wish I had longer. Firstly it’s on its own little private area (with a free private boat that you can take to go back and forth). Takes 5 mins. Quiet and relaxing. Also the staff sets you up so you don’t have to worry about getting back to the hotel in case you don’t have service / wifi. Amenities wise it was 10/10. The pool and loungers were great. The rooms were beautiful and clean. Comfy bed and pillows. The staff were all amazing! Very helpful, very nice. The restaurant was one of my fav meals in the Galapagos. Highly recommend the tuna tartar and octopus. If you’re going to Galapagos, definitely stay here!!
Torre Mar is a well run and excellent hotel close to the city center of Puerto Ayora. John, the owner is very hands on. He arranged our pick up from.Baltra airport with Bolivar who is always punctual. John also booked our RT tickets to Isabela Island. You can tell he loves what he does and it reflects on how he takes pride on running Torre Mar. We had a 1 bedroom.suite with a small kitchenette, the bathroom is equipped with toiletries, a nice rain shower and good water pressure, ac working well and has ample towel supply. If you need help with booking tours and other things, don't hesitate to reach out to John. He's a wealth of knowledge as he grew up in Puerto Ayora and is very personable. The rooms are very clean and the bed comfortable. In our short 2 days in Puerto Ayora, John made us feel.at home and treated us like family. Thank you John for everything and kudos to your team for an A++ accommodation.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL We booked and paid 10 months in advance. We eventually called and emailed months out and they confirmed the Suite (by name) via written e - correspondence. We had paid a significant amount of money to ensure that we had the right room for this special visit. When we arrived they said that as they had changed the category of the rooms, we were now in a (small) junior suite. Like a few other reviewers have said, they are NOT Suites! It was only after two days when I showed them the correspondence confirming the room by name that they accepted we were put into the wrong room. After much discussion (which was a distraction from being on holidays) they gave us the room we has booked and explained that they could not have given it to us earlier as they had allowed someone else to book it. They offered us a small amount by way of compensation, but no where near what we had paid (the difference) for the room we had booked. So, I would NOT Recommend this place as they are deceptive; and you are taking your chances with them. I have waited three months since our visit to write this review, so it is not done in the 'heat of the moment' . Ps. If they respond and deny the contents of this review, then I would be happy to share relevant correspondence. I also note the limited number of reviews for a business that has allegedly been around for a while ...
訪訪客用戶Beautiful hotel! Spacious room, very clean! Surrounded by nature, fruit trees, tropical gardens and peaceful serenity. The owner is lovely! We enjoyed delicious very fresh breakfasts at the hotel. The hotel dog, Lava was a cute treat too! Short walk to town.
訪訪客用戶I loved this place! I went there with my group of girlfriends and had an amazing experience. The hotel is very well located close to restaurants and different shops. The room itself was spacious including a cozy balcony with a nice ocean view. The bathroom was fully equipped: blowdryer, toiletries and bathrobe. Food wise, we were very pleased. The breakfast we had was excellent with multiple options to choose from. After finishing all our excursions and activities, we were able to end our day relaxing by the pool. Overall this is hidden gem. I highly recommend this place and will definitely comeback in the future.
訪訪客用戶Quiet location but close to everything. Easy walk to the main area of town and the Darwin Station. Room was large with a great view from the balcony. Very clean! The pool was refreshing and the a/c worked well. Breakfast was good. Staff were friendly and helpful.
