Excelente opcion por la vista y económica!!

Tiene un vista muy linda al mar, limpio, camas cómodas, muy buena atención A una calle de la avenida principal (tiendas, restaurantes) a 3 calles del puerto

La entrada esta un poca obscura y complicada la entrada arrastrando maletas por las piedritas

Calm, tranquil stay. Great for your last night on the island.

It’s the best view outside your room on the island for a budget price. The rooms had cold AC and hot showers. The breeze was delightful.

The two things i didn’t like about this property is that there is a short gravel/dirt walkway/road that leads up to the entrance which is not conducive for roller luggage. You will be better off just carrying your luggage off the ground this short distance. And they do not provide free water from a dispenser like other properties do.

Exceptional

The room is really spacious and nice. The hosts are wonderful and the view is amazing.

The only thing missing is a boiler to cook water to make a tea or coffee. But that would just be an extra.

Lovely hotel close to Puerto Ayora Town

Lovely balcony over looking the sea, comfy beds, friendly staff ( always gave us a wave and a friendly smile when we passed through) We asked if they had anywhere to fill up water bottles and they boiled a kettle for us. They also let us keep our bags there whilst we went to Isabella Island.

Terrible room, wonderful location/view

Location and view. Beautiful oceanfront balcony and sound of surf. Walking distance to most of town.

One of the 2 AC’s did not work. We had to sleep in smaller beds and close door to sleep to cool room down to tolerable level. The bathroom fixtures were atrocious. Shower head was completely shot. No hot water on sink and fixture need new seals. TV was a 9” CRT type with static filled Spanish language cable with about 25 channels. The mattresses were thin and the blankets cheap. Overall terrible room but the location and view compensated somewhat.

wonderful host! very accommodating and pleasant. great location and quiet.

very nice place to stay. sea front rooms are nice with chairs outside. the manager was wonderful !! we arrived early and they were quick to put us in our room. I was recovering from food poisoning and was delivered lovely cups of tea to calm my stomach. they offered information regarding treatment at the medical clinic. they also allowed us to leave our big checked bag at the hotel for a few days while we went to Isabela island. we stayed with them again on our return and again were put in a room early after getting off the morning ferry.

Not recommended

Can't really say

The Internet does not work at all. The whole island got troubles with connection, but at this particular hotel it is absent. Get yourself a Starlink set for example.

Nice ocean view

Nice view of ocean from balcony. Comfortable bed, hot shower tho it took awhile to warm up. Wifi sometimes worked in my room. Place was close to pier and restaurants. Area was quiet at night with ocean sounds.

-Curtains did not completely cover the window. -It was difficult to enjoy the balcony view due to tourists sitting and talking for hours on balcony right outside my room, tourists talking loudly on balcony at midnight, and tourists smoking cigarettes on balcony against hotel policy.

Not worth the view they're tempting you with.

Since my room was right next to the lounge with wifi the signal was good in my room. AC and TV worked well.

I booked a room with a sea view and when I requested to change the date of my reservation,they agreed. I showed up to a smaller room overlooking the driveway. They said the room I booked wasn't available despite agreeing to give me the same reservation on this new day. Anyway, ocean view is only really nice from 2 rooms, from the others you also see construction being done at the base of the building. Shower wasn't very hot, towel had holes, shampoo/soap bottles were old dish soap containers partly filled. It was hard to find any staff at times.

The location at the sea, near the facilities in town. Big and clean room with enough space for your luggage.

The shower was warm, but needed a new showerhead. The curtains didn't help a lot. I only saw staff at check in so I needed to find my way/tours/ferry myself (which is easy)

Gorgeous View and Great Location

The view of the sea was incredible. Crabs, sea lions, and iguanas would lounge on the rocks right outside the balcony. We left the windows open at night and the white noise of the waves was outstanding. Anything we asked for, the staff was accommodating and helpful. The storage in the room (the closet and shelving) was great for our group of 3.

Hot water in the shower was a bit spotty.
