Super cool artistic hotel. Reminds me of Barcelona. Short walk to the pier but far enough that it’s very quiet at night. Comfy bed, good AC! Great staff! Best market in town across the street. Would stay again.

The priperty is located in an area that is quiet and peaceful but within easy walking distance to key areas. Taxi cabs on the island are 1.50 USD so its easy to get around. For a 3 star hotel it had all the necesities covered. We spent out time sightseeing and only came back to clean up and sleep. The breakfast was very good and staff very kind.

Hotel looks nice, but it is a little far from the center. Room is very basic and had a noisy air condition. Breakfast is quite basic but o.k. Quite expensive for the value you get

how to do the Galapagos: land, then sea!

we stayed here three days on our way to a five day Galapagos cruise. I would recommend this experience and this particular place to anyone contemplating a cruise. take a few days to settle into island life, slow down and experience the region and the land. Galapagos is much more than just a ship and animals! the staff is incredible solicitous and efficient; the place is an artistic wonder, full of tile murals and stucco creations. the pool is great, the breakfast is also. and it's so convenient to downtown!

The place is very chill, clean and quiet. Nice little pool to jump in and refresh. There is a nice little patio/lounge area that is totally underused. It would be nice to have a little music out there and offer drinks in the afternoon and evening. A sign on the bar said that they have drinks but no one was ever there. The breakfast is nice. Very simple and basic but tasty, filling and good coffee while you chat with the other travelers.

The unit was fantastic, spacious and comfortable. Some of the usual amenities were missing. A/C was only in the bedroom, not the 800 sq ft living space. Very sparce kitchen items (ie no coffee maker). But the incredible design features of the building and the mosaic architecture was delightful. Totally thrilling. Great pool!

1. Easy walking distance to airport, malecon, restaurants. 2. Plenty of hot water and (if needed) aircon. 3. Architecture: a big surprise to find Barcelona style 6000 miles from Europe; I took many delightful pictures of the hotel. 4. Family friendly. There were a number of guests with little kids. The breakfast area by the pool was sometimes a bit boisterous, while older folks (me) were sipping and waiting for the coffee to kick in. 5. I had e-mailed them my flight arrival time, and they arranged early check-in for me. Unusual, and appreciated.

Save yourself some money and go somewhere else if you want a decent stay. The rooms were ok but the towels were old and scratchy. They give you a tiny little soap container per person to use. The beds don’t have blankets but instead a very thin sheet. There is nobody around in the lobby or cafe area to ask questions or get any help. At night I found the owner in his office and asked for extra pillows for my husband. He asked why do I need more pillows? I told him my husband has back issues. He said the hotel was fully booked and he didn’t have any extras so he gave me 3 towels and a pillowcase to use as a pillow. We couldn’t sleep that night, even my 10 year old had a hard time. The next morning we got up to eat breakfast (don’t even bother, its not good) and asked the servers if the hotel was full and they said no so we went back upstairs to look for another hotel for our second night. We had paid for 2 but we decided to leave. Once we told the owner, he said he could not give us our money back so we lost that money. Look around and stay somewhere else, don’t let the pictures fooled you

Ich bin von dem Hotel enttäuscht und kann die guten Bewertungen nicht verstehen. Der Service ist im Hotel eine Katastrophe. Es ist nur morgens zum Frühstück überhaupt Personal vorhanden, und zwar nur eine Praktikantin und ein spanischsprechender Mitarbeiter. Sonst ist i.d.R. den ganzen Tag kein Personal vorhanden. Das Frühstück besteht aus labbrigen Croissants oder Brötchen, etwas Obst und im besten Fall Eier. Die Liegen am Pool sind unbequem und teilweise beschädigt. Es gibt z.B. keine Hotelbar, an der Getränke gekauft werden können. Handtücher für den Pool liegen einfach nur aus (ohne Ausgabe) und sind alt und teilweise stark verschmutzt. Die Standard-Zimmer sind mit ca. 135 Dollar pro Nacht komplett überteuert. Mir hat es nicht gefallen und ich würde nicht mehr dort übernachten.

デラックスアパートメントの部屋を利用しました。 写真通りのイメージの広々としたリビングとベッドルームがあり、とても清潔で快適な滞在が出来ました。 繫華街から少し離れているので終日静かです。 道向かいに夜遅くまでやっているスーパーマーケットがありますので、そこで食材を調達して部屋にあるキッチンで料理もできます。 食器やカトラリー、大型の冷蔵庫も完備されています。 WIFIも良い速度が出ます、日本とのweb会議もストレスなく出来ました。ワーケーションにもオススメします。 唯一残念な点は、リビングルームにエアコンが付いていないのでベッドルームから冷気を回さないと日中は暑いことです（ホテル側もそれは分かっているようで、大き目の扇風機が２台備え付けられています）。 この点を差し引いても値段以上の価値があります。 サンクリストバル島の滞在にはこのホテルをお勧めします！
