The room is well appointed and the ping pong table is a nice addition that we've enjoyed using. It is 2km from the beach so it's a 15min walk each way.. Which in the hot sun seems like a long time even if you are very fit. However it's much cheaper due to its location so it's great value for a long walk.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Serge Jan 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent staff and very clean.

Hotel failed to transfer me from the airport to the hotel. The hotel just said they will pay $5 for the bus. I wasn’t told I had to take a bus from the airport, a ferry to cross the channel and another bus to take me to town. Someone sent me vague directions and I almost got stranded at the pier. So, I had to take a taxi to take me to the hotel. However, when I asked for the $30 for the taxi fare, the hotel person, Christopher, who I was communicating with earlier, went silent and I never heard from him for the whole duration of my stay. He sent $20 for the whole ordeal including my return. Advertisement says, property has access to beach. BIG LIE! Only a taxi will take you to the beach because it’s way too far. Also NO RESTAURANT. Breakfast is limited, juice mixed with water, tea, instant coffee, no cream or milk. A ridiculously small bowl of fruit, 2 warm slices of bread, NO REALLY TOASTED, some drinkable yogurt, and 1-2 eggs. Nothing around the hotel, no bars, no restaurants, too far from downtown, no beach nearby. Front desk goes dark after 6-7pm. Nobody can help you after that if there’s any problem. The sink faucet water flow was just drops of water. On my last day, it was a power outage and no water. I had to brush my teeth and rinse with my own bottled water. ![Water for guests](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5a469f3c-1331-4872-a408-8bb5e60b398a-1764639341826.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f394d4d2-55f2-44cb-bd4d-9a3c10e8332f-1764639341273.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Students volunteering, with no experience, clean and attend breakfast ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/314dd2fb-68da-4b46-938e-f253803cf68e-1764639340664.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The streets that sorround the hotel ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3514d3e5-b548-4237-8f53-c0cd6ab58978-1764639342098.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maribel Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheilah Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was excellent.

Oscar, Christopher and the rest of the staff were wonderful. ##### Spring Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### David Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel was great. Good room with a view, solid breakfast included. I would deduct one star for the location as it is about a 15 minute walk to town. Super shout out to Oscar, who is amazing. Great English skills (which are in short supply in Ecuador) who helped to book several tours and arrange cab rides and even laundry ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yesenia Jan 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I have stayed here twice while visiting Galapagos. It is not located in the main shopping/ dining area but they get you a taxi which only costs about $2\. I especially appreciated Roland who took care of all our tours and checked on us to make sure all was well with our excursions. ##### Yesenia Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wellington Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was all good ##### wellington Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LK Sep 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is good; Oscar Angel are great! ##### LK Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diego Feb 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The stay in El descanso del guía was excellent due to Oscar’s help and attention ! He really made the différence! Thanks Oscar for your help in Galapagos !! It was a pleasure to meet you! ##### Diego Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanne Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really liked the room with its blackout curtains and the ability to check out at 12pm. The location is also very good. The only downside was the food in the restaurant - no real flavour and a little overpriced. Other than that Id recommend this hotel! ##### Susanne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hilton-Niagara-FallsFallsview-Hotel-Suites.h463153.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cottages Parksville](https://www.expedia.ca/Parksville-Cottages.d10645-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Nugget Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Reno-Hotels-Nugget-Casino-Resort.h40318.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dixie](https://www.expedia.ca/Dixie-Toronto-Hotels.0-n3000662852-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Horto Convento](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Horto-Convento.h17933824.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cobourg](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobourg-Hotels.d7539.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Power and Light District](https://www.expedia.ca/Power-And-Light-District-Kansas-City-Hotels.0-n6162504-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family Hotels in Manitoba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Manitoba-Family-Hotel.0-0-d11148-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Secrets-Royal-Beach-Punta-Cana-Adults-Only.h3206683.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sainte-Therese](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Therese-Hotels.d178523.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Orillia](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Orillia-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Orillia.h53579384.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/lis/halifax-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/edi/ath/edinburgh-to-athens) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/jfk/ottawa-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Lagos (LOS) to Imo (QOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/los/qow/lagos-to-owerri) > > [Lufthansa Toronto (YYZ) to Frankfurt (FRA) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/lufthansa-from-pearson-intl-to-frankfurt-intl/lh/yyz/fra) ### Cars ### Packages > [Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/13/Bahamas) > > [The Distillery Historic District](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Distillery-Historic-District-Downtown-Toronto.d6144395.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Greece Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Greece.d67.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
