I loved the chalet, it is quiet and has a chill atmosphere. It is on the tip of Puerto Ayora Island and you hear and see the Ocean from the balcony. There is hot water in the shower. And there is a lovely little beach a two minute walk from the chalet where you can snorkel and se baby sharks among other wildlife. Las Grietas, which is a tourist attraction is also located on the same island. There are two nice restaurants next to the dock, where you take a watertaxi in to town. It cost only 1 dollar and it is a charming experience. Would definitely book this hotel again.

Helpful host / owner, great wifi, powerful shower, proximity to beach and nature. Pilar, the owner, helped us arrange transport when we arrived and departed for the airport, and shared her local knowledge with us.

Die Location ist very quiet and only a five minute Taxi boat ride too busy downtown. The boats go back-and-forth 24 hours and cost one dollar. I would always stay on  the side of the bay if you would like some peace. The owner, Pilar is very friendly and helpful. I arrived without any tour bookings, and she helped me find good deals. Thank you Pilar.

Nah am Strand, das Meer ist dort aber etwas trüb. Die Gastgeberin Pilar war sehr hilfsbereit. Schöne Aussicht vom Zimmer. Fürs Wassertaxi, dort anstellen, wo die Schlange ist. Taxen sind gelb. Vom Steg zum Hotel ist es nicht weit, aber nicht geeignet für Rollkoffer. Das Restaurant, the Point, gleich am Steg nahe des Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen und verhältnismäßig preisgünstig.

I really enjoyed my time at the Galapagos chalet . Pilar has been a kind and very helpful host. She even went above and beyond and showed me Tortuga Bay. The location is very safe and close to high end restaurants with excellent breakfast options as well as lunch and dinner. A water taxi connects you to the main part of Puerto Ayora. The rooms have sea view and there is even a balcony with a comfortable hammock . It is quiet and and an incredible spot for stargazing . Pilar can connect you with taxi services and day trips. I could have not asked for a better place. 😄😄😄

There are no words to describe how much I loved this place. The Chalet is located in one of the most beautiful places around Puerto Ayora, where you can hear the ocean and walk to the beach. The rooms were comfortable and they always kept them clean. Having a small kitchenette was super convenient also. Muchas gracias!

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.

Die gute Lage an der ruhigen Finch Bay, nahe bei der Playa de los Alemanes uns der Sehenswürdigkeit Las Grietas. Mit dem Wassertaxi ist man für 1$ in 10 Minuten im Zentrum von Puerto Ayora. Ideal zum Ausspannen, umgeben von teuren Hotels. 2 gute Restaurants sind in toller Lage nahe bei der Unterkunft.

Gorgeous, peaceful and quiet yet minutes from the bustle of Puerto Ayora. Spacious accommodations and the host Pilar is so loving, compassionate and helpful. Fantastic experience, I wouldn’t consider looking for other accommodations on Santa Cruz.
