The staff was very friendly and helpful. Transportation to the hotel upon arriving at the ferry and departing from the airport was arranged and even paid for. We took a taxi from downtown one day because it was raining and it was only $2. Everything was very clean and breakfast was great. Filtered water is available 24 hours a day near the office. There is a beautiful view from the dining area on the 3rd floor.
Property said it had transportation from airport to hotel and we confirmed this transfer 3 times prior to arriving , but we’re still left at the airport without a pick up. We hired a taxi to take us to hotel. Description also said free area shuttle. Yet when I asked about the shuttle to go to the park, I was told they would call us a taxi which we paid for again. Much construction taking place which was fine for us. Location is not in the area of restaurants or conveniently located. It is walkable to stores and eating areas however. No working TV. Staff was very helpful in securing sold out ferry tickets for us to go to Santa Cruz. So happy for that. Also gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and breakfast to go. We preferred Santa Cruz Island over this one as well.
The owner was friendly at check in but not around much and there weren’t any other staff. We received no information or maps about the area etc like we have at other locations.
It was in an inconvenient location with no restaurants around. It was difficult working out transportation to the ferry when we were leaving as nobody was around to assist us.
Breakfast was fine and we could have eggs with our continental breakfast.
I was disappointed as the ratings were so high on trip advisor.
Very nice hotel in a quiet location about 10 minutes walk from the port/center. Our room was very clean, the beds were confortable, the breakfast was delicious, and the owners were super nice. We had a wonderful 3-night stay there!
Great hosts! Locally owned, which is important to us. They went out of their way to prepare a gluten free breakfast for me both mornings. Great breakfast. Clean room with A/C. Property is a 10 min walk up a good hill, away from the hub downtown, but you can easily take a taxi. We enjoyed being a bit out of the center. Would stay there again!
The hotel was an oasis from the town outside the walls. The courtyard offered a respite from activities and provided us a comfortable spot to rest at night when we got back from our activities and dinner.
The owner, Harry, is a stand up guy who met us at the airport, saw to our every need and was attentive and proactive in ensuring he and staff met our needs. The room was very nice, providing excellent value for money. Being off the beaten path means it was quiet in the evening and restful, a short walk to the town (10 mins) gave the opportunity to us to see some of the real Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Bith my wife and I enjoyed breakfast which was included, time with the rescue cats and the excellent wifi internet - which we learned at subsequent hotels is NOT guaranteed.
Based on the chats with Harry sounds like this place will continue to grow into an even more exquisite gem.
The family that runs this establishment may be the nicest and friendliest folks I have ever met. Their hotel is wonderful and is only outmatched by their welcoming ways. Thank you for helping to make our stay on San Cristobal so perfect!
I booked the place thru Expedia with no preparation and in a hurry. The first impression was not favorable. Nobody met us at the airport and after a short taxi ride the empty hot street next to the metal gate was not a welcoming sight. We had to wait for long ten minutes until the gate was opened.
Do not repeat my mistake. This is not a Mariott or even Motel 6. Just a man and wife operation with some hired help. They are really busy even between seasons. If you want things to be ready for you, send an advanced warning at least one or two days ahead.
From day two everything clicked into place. Harry and Lucrecia are wonderful hosts. Simple breakfast with a nice view on the third floor of the building is ready by 7AM. Good coffee, fresh juice on ice and plenty of fruit with the usual huevos fritos or scrambled tostados with butter and cheese.
Laundry is quick and neat. Important for us, since my wife and I travel light.
Harry is also a licenced quide, he takes guests on tours practically every day and is very busy (see above). Nevertheless, he is responsive and takes care of difficult requests with ease and impressive efficiency. Ask him to stop the rain, - he will say no problem. Ask him to set up a snorkeling tour and the gear will be brought to you to your room to try it on. As soon as he got to know us a little better, his suggestions and recommendations were spot on.
The front of the Eco Friendly is likely to produce a negative impression and the walled in courtyard is not very attractive. The walls and gate promote privacy, however, and the room I stayed in was clean and rather spacious.
The breakfast area is nice and the breakfast fare was both good and attractively presented. Unfortunately, the portions were small and the cooks do not take special orders. When I asked if I could have scrambled eggs, I was told to please sit down and that I would be served shortly. I was never asked what I wanted for breakfast during my three day stay.
Steady taxi traffic in front of the building provides easy access to every part of town and the owner is attentive.
Harry and his wife run an excellent hotel on Santa Cruz Island. The breakfast (included) was exceptional and the view of the bay while eating is perfect for the start to your day. The room had a safe, microwave, fridge, comfy bed and the shower had plenty of water pressure. The staff was always friendly and always available to answer any of your questions. They will also meet you at the pier/airport when you arrive. No complaints, had a fabulous time. Thanks!
Very good amenities: rooms are well designed and put together.
Very clean property: rooms are spotless and common areas are very clean and neat.
Staff is responsive and reliable
I enjoyed my stay. Highly recommended. Great Value
Had a great stay. Our favourite things about the hotel: airport pickup upon arrival, daily breakfast included with breakfast area overlooking town, nice social area, and most importantly, very very clean. It is a bit of a walk uphill from the oceanfront area of town, but we really enjoyed the walk, and allowed us to see an area we probably wouldnt have ventured to. If you dont feel like walking, there are tonnes of cabs all over town which cost only a few dollars. Would definitely recommend.
Would highly recommend this place if you are planning on stay In the Galapagos, the hotel is very cute and the staff are very kind. The rooms are nice and it has a very nice common area
This is a very nice hotel. Free shuttle from airport (both ways). Very nice breakfast with an excellent view on the rooftop. The owners, Harry and his wife, are super friendly. The room is of course very clean. I also liked the secured front yard area. Highly recommended.
