Spoiled. Totally spoiled by Blu Galapagos. Everything was over the top perfection. The hotel is on the waterfront near the Charles Darwin Research Center and just enough on the edge of town that you feel isolated yet still within a five minute walk to the heart of this sweet port town. We stayed in the Darwin Suite which is primo for celebrating a loved one or yourself. I’ll be back for sure.

From the moment I arrived, Joseline and her staff took care of me. The location was 3 or 4 blocks from the main strip, which made it quieter. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are large and had a big balcony. I want to level set for people. If you are expecting 5 star glammer, this is island life in a simple way done extremely well.The bathroom was large with great water pressure. The room was impeccably clean. Breakfast was good. No matter what stupid question I had, Joseline answered. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A small but beautiful city.
A small but beautiful city. It was a fishing village but has been transformed to a tourist town. The main street -- Ave. Charles Darwin, is full of life, literally -- sea lions, iguanas, pelicans, etc. It's an adventure like no other.

It's a nice, friendly town.
It's a nice, friendly town. It's got plenty of ATMS, several grocery stores, and a lovely oceanfront walk. The fish market is a must see in the morning. There are sea lions who hang around waiting for scraps. I also saw iguanas and pelicans waiting for handouts. There's very nice bars, restaurants, and market stalls. It's a little spendy, because you're on an island. There's things you can do for free, on your own. There's also TONS of tour companies running day trips to all the nearby islands. You can walk most anywhere, and there are cheap taxis as well.

The touristy part and the harbor to the Darwin research...
The touristy part and the harbor to the Darwin research center was full of shops, restaurants both cheap and expensive, street food, and travel agencies. People are friendly and it’s clean and safe.
Los Kiosko is an intense street where people are coming at you with menus trying to get you come to them - at the same time. But they have specials for $5 lunch or dinner plus a regular menu with cheap meals too. Great Ecuadorian food! We ate ice cream everyday! There was a little froyo place on Baltra and a gelato place down the same street closer to the harbor that was excellent. We found pan de yucca at a street food vendor that was magical, though not always open.
Sea lions are everywhere near the water (not in the same capacity as San Cristobal but still).
You can watch blue footed boobies diving into the water all the time and the frigits are out in mass as well!
Everyone is happy.
Also we found our favorite travel agency with the Galapagos Living Travel Agency. They were fair priced and hilarious. Lots of laughs and planning of epic next day adventures.

We liked the laid-back feeling when the main road was closed in the evening and the music of the street musicians. We also liked the accessibility of shops, beaches, wildlife, information centre and harbour,
Above all, we appreciated every smiling face and helpful citizen in town.

Diving with Macarrons was fantastic.
Diving with Macarrons was fantastic. Burgers at Golden Prague are amazing. Head to the fish cleaning spot in front of Macarrons in the morning to watch some entitled pelicans and cheeky seals hassling the fishers. Plenty of cheap laundromats in town so no need to bring everything you own. Pizza Italia is great value.
The guesthouse is centrally located in Puerto Ayora and we were able to explore everything on foot, but there is also the option of hiring a bike.
Our room was very nicely furnished and had more than enough space. The breakfast varied and was very delicious, and it was brought to our room every morning. If an excursion starts a little earlier, you get breakfast to go. There are lots of good restaurants in the area and you can get to the waterfront quickly. We liked it very much and can definitely recommend the guesthouse.
A perfect place to stay in Puerto Ayora. Friendly and really helpful staff, nice room with TV, air conditioner, good new matress and pillows. Change of towels every day. Great breakfast. A bit far from the city center (10-15 minutes walking) but for that a really calm and safe street and nice local restaurants next to the hotel. Taxis come every 10-15 minutes even early in the morning, so you can easily come to the city center if you don't want to walk (a taxi ride costs 1,5 dollars). I enjoyed my stay in the Island Home.
Casa del lago is a very comfortable & cozy place to stay in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz. The rooms are very cozy and well decorated and have very nice terraces to relax in the evening. The beds are comfortable. The place is very well located from walking distance from the port and from a big supermarket (proinsular). Elena is extremely welcoming, available and helpful. It was a pleasure to be her guest ! I highly recommend this place for any stay in Puerto Ayora.
The hotel is in a very convenient residential location and is maintained spotlessly clean, THANKS to Alicia, who is always around and working very hard. We really enjoyed the hammocks and the balcony outside our room. The kitchen is an added plus as we were craving home-cooked meals. Alicia voluntarily helped us with taxi pickup for our return to Baltra airport, including a stopover at Los Gemelos. Overall, it is a great stay at a reasonable price.
My husband and I live an Galapagos and have stayed in many hotels in Puerto Ayora. I particularly like this location a few blocks away from the center; it's so much more peaceful and quiet at night! Rooms are large, a/c works great, good hot water showers. We ate breakfast (not included - we bought supplies at the grocery and stored in the mini-fridge in our room) on the communal 2nd floor balcony. Also appreciate the free drinking water.
The Suite/Apartment is very comfortable and well-kept by the owners. Connie was there to greet us and hand us the keys. The building is very safe, and the Suite had a small balcony facing the sea. The owner allows guests to go to the top floor terrace, where you find amenities, sun chairs, and a nice view of the bay in front of Puerto Ayora. Kitchen is modern and has all you need for your stay.
The staff was amazing, always providing great assistance and giving us special offers on the tours. Always perfectly cleaned and the location is just 15 mins walk from the main center. Can just recommend this Hostal for every tourist coming to Puerto Ayora. And I have just booked the second time there. ;) thanks Silvia and Marcelo for the great service and kindness!
Casa cascada is a lovely place in Puerto Ayora. The beds are comfortable, facilities clean, staff is helpful and accommodating and the price is very affordable for Puerto Ayora. It is a safe 15 minute walk or so to the waterfront. The staff helped me secure a ferry ticket when they were sold out and assisted me in planning my trip.
The chalet is located in a very peaceful area south west of Puerto Ayora, less than 5 minutes’ walk from the beach. I had a beautiful wood-panelled room with a balcony, a hammock, a view of the sea and an ensuite bathroom. Pilar was also a very friendly and accommodating host. I had a very pleasant and relaxing stay.
The hotel is located at the outskirts of Puerto Ayora. There are really nice views from the room. There are bikes provided by the hotel to drive around the port. The hotel personnel was very friendly and helped with tours / transports. The restaurant of the hotel provides excellent food (not included).
Great location in the centre of Puerto Ayora. Rooms are very well furnished and equipped and the hotel staff keeps them very clean. Breakfasts are good as well and will help you to start off your day of adventures in Galapagos.
La Fortaleza is an awesome stay for when you're in Puerto Ayora. Gianna was so welcoming and showed us all the top spots to see! Breakfast was awesome and the hotel itself is the most unique I've ever seen.
Nice basic breakfast each morning. Pool is very nice as is the outside bar area. The location of the hotel is perfect for us. Less than a 5 minute walk into town but far enough away to be very quite.
Perfect location! Honestly the best hotel on the island. So cozy. The restaurant is amazing and beautiful view. Every day right at my feet were sea lions, crabs, pelicans and fish. It was a dream .
Off the main street in Puerto Ayora, a nice tucked away quiet location. Kitchen available, fresh water dispenser available (very nice!). Rooms are a good size. Air con works well.
The room is in the heart of Puerto Ayora, with several Mini Markets close buy and just a short (~1 km) walk away from the Charles Darwin Research Station.
