Jose was lovely and the property was in a very good location, close to the marina. There were also two delicious restaurants downstairs, one open until 9 PM. However, it was a very basic three star hotel room. Our room backed onto a school, which was very noisy early in the morning and they played football late into the evening. Decent value for a rustic, basic stay.
Fantastic hotel and reception that goes above and beyond to answer any questions, help in any way and make you feel like you are part of the family. Hotel has a common area/kitchen with cooking capabilities and fridge available for all guests to use which was a very nice bonus!
Carlos is very hospitable. From the time we came in to the time we left, the customer service was amazing. Highly recommended, very near the main port and right next to a great bakery.
Un lugar acogedor. La mini suite fue perfecta para mi familia tuvimos suficiente espacio. Una sala pequena y refrigeradora. El staff muy amable y entrenado para dar los mejores tips the donde comer y a donde ir. El deli de alado tiene unos sándwiches deliciosos y a buen precio.
The Posada Del Mar is a wonderful, eclectic, family owned, well maintained, beautiful, peaceful and relaxing hotel near all activities in town. The street and nearby cafe made for a wonderful and memorable visit in Puerto Ayora. It was the icing on the cake!
Super friendly and helpful staff. Great hotel fir the price point. Lovely lounge area with kitchen and great view of harbour. Only slight diwn side was that the school behind could be a little noisy but overall great value for money
We like the where the hotel is located. It is close to everything. It is basic but sufficient. Room is spacious. I love the glass wall and balcony in the room and the balcony in the common room too. Carlos at the front desk is friendly add helpful. Coffee, tea and drinking water is always available. The kitchen is nice if you want to cook. But this hotel doesn’t want you to cook fish, garlic. And if you want consistant hot water in the shower, this hotel may not be the right one for you.
Clean and comfortable. Basic amenities. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful to us, who are English speaking and needed help arranging some of our tours and transportation.
The staff is incredibly kind and helpful! The location is perfect because it’s close to everything in town and still feels safe. The beds are comfortable. The amenities are very basic but that’s expected because the cost of the hotel is very budget friendly! There is a kitchen area with balcony dining on the third floor that can be used by guests— very convenient if you plan to stay for a few days.
I arrived early before my room was available and management graciously allowed me to leave my luggage inside the hotel while I went for lunch and a walk; they also allowed me to rest on a coach in the third floor social room/kitchen which had a nice breeze coming in from the ocean. I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again.
This was the perfect transit hotel. It is located 1.5 small blocks from the pier, where you pick up the ferry to San Cristobal. It is clean and spacious with a refrigerator and a view of the harbor and pier. The gentleman at the front desk carried all our luggage up and down the stairs for us, even at 6am! It was a very welcoming visit.
Posado del Mar was a wonderful stay, perfect for my travels. Very clean, good location, the host was friendly and helpful and kind. The facilities were in great condition. I stayed coming and going from Isabela and it could not have been better. I would stay there again for sure. Very highly recommended, everything was fantastic!
