The breakfast was great, and hotel was very unique with beautiful view over the national park. Enjoyed jumping in the pool every day. Short walk to the main shopping/restaurants area and only about 15 minute walk to the Charles Darwin station.

The volcanic rock, tile, wood interface inside and out is wonderful to behold. The suites are beautiful, the pool, though small, is immaculate, and great for laps. The outdoor kitchen where each breakfast is served is quaint and delightful. One simply can’t believe that such a charming beautiful property could even exist within the rough hewn untamed beauty of the Galapagos. Just a short walk to the town square with fabulous restaurants, every mouthful is delectable. The Haro’s have created a grand slice of Heaven on Earth and have given their heart, mind and soul to this property. BRAVO. If only other hotel owners took such pride in presenting themselves to their clients!🙏 ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gibran Oct 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gianna is a fabulous host!

There are not enough words to describe our amazing stay at La Fortaleza De Haro! We were greeted warmly upon our arrival by Gianna and Roberto, and that first class hospitality never ended (even after we checked out). As soon as I even booked our stay, I received an e-mail with ideas on our Santa Cruz itinerary. Gianna recommended a solid plan, which led to an unforgettable experience. They genuinely care about their guests. The hotel is super cool, and in a nice, quiet location (and was built by Roberto). Breakfast was fabulous, and we enjoyed our time by the pool. This is a fortress, and you will not regret your decision to stay here! If you have the opportunity to stay in the tower, do it!! ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gianna and Roberto are friendly and accommodating. This estate is a castle with a pool and private quarters. Breakfast is provided each day, but the kitchen is not available to guests. Quite a pleasant place to stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great place to stay. It looks new and is very clean with nice owners. The town is small and walking an extra five minutes for this place is worth it. Of my three hotels so far in Ecuador, this was the only quiet one. Because it is on a dead end, you don't get the loud street noices and the motorcycle wake up call at 6:30am. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter May 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing Rest and Recreation We stayed for two different times in the same trip. We were so totally grateful for the careful and caring help we received, as well as the quality of the accommodations, we simply had no desire or need to look anywhere else. And we are scheming how to return again. Also, excellent value. ##### Walter Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter May 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceeded High Hopes The proprietors are friendly and helpful way beyond the call of duty. Gianna is helpful because she wants her guests to have an exceptional experience, and she seems to enjoy simply helping others. They helped with very inexpensive tours, and most importantly, helping us know exactly what to do for finding COVID-19 testing back in Quito for our onward journey. The hotel borders the National park, so it is quiet . Our room was private, nice breeze or air conditioning. The pool is beautiful and breakfast was perfect. The architecture and feel are really fun. We would return in a heartbeat and never consider another alternative. ##### Walter Stayed 4 nights in May 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Grande Prairie](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Prairie-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Grande-Prairie.h2595556.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Barga-Hotels-Renaissance-Tuscany-Il-Ciocco-Resort-Spa.h1064090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Sheppard West Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Sheppard-West-Station-Hotels.d6213202.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vancouver Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Island-Hotels.d6058387.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels.d603077.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cottages Port Perry](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Perry-Cottages.d6060366-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Capitol Robinson by Bower Boutique Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Capitol-Robinson-By-Bower-Hotels-Suites.h22330447.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Rogers Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Rogers-Place-Hotels.0-l553248622945105180-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Columbus (CMH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/cmh/chicago-to-columbus) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/hnl/ottawa-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Bali (BLC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/blc/edmonton-to-bali) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to El Prat de Llobregat (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bcn/vancouver-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Flint](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/1238/flights-from-flint) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cmb/toronto-to-colombo) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Doha (DOH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/doh/toronto-to-doha) > > [Flair Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Flair-Airlines-Flights.cF8.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Flushing (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/lga/chicago-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Saint John (YSJ) to Reserve Mines (YQY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysj/yqy/saint-john-to-sydney) ### Cruise ### Packages > [Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/44/Cuba) > > [Magnetic Hill Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Magnetic-Hill-Zoo-Moncton.d6131990.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Pierrefonds-Roxboro](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Pierrefonds-Roxboro.dx60097) > > [Visit San Benedetto del Tronto](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Benedetto-Del-Tronto.dx6055533)
