They offered to pick me up but never did. I had to take a cab and the manager stated he would pay for my cab because of the inconvenience then lied. Also, I was supposed to get breakfast but didnt so they offered me a beer each day then tried to charge me for it. The restaurant not affiliated was fantastic. Room was nice, by very warm.

Great property with big open rooms. Air conditioning was highly reliable and comfortable. Breakfast was expensive at $25USD for a very small and mediocre buffet. Staff was not super helpful or overly welcoming - just ok.

Enjoyed our stay at Blu Galápagos it was very easily accessible within walking distance of many delightful places to eat. The breakfast area is located overlooking the water so we enjoyed having breakfast next to sea lions and other local wildlife. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a return place to stay.

My stay exceeded my expectations. The ambiance says Galapagos. Natural, lovely comfy, intimate. The staff treated me like family. Nothing was too much to ask. Did i mention it's right on the cove so breakfast is with the sea lions, Galapagos marine iguanas, brightly colored crabs - you get the picture. Already planner my next stay.

The resort is beautiful and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We ate at the restaurant a couple of evenings and the food was delicious! The breakfast wasn't included in our rate (and was $30 each to add), but there are great restuarants very close to the resort. Would definitely return!

The waterfront and mangroves are beautiful. The staff is friendly, but clearly not excited to be there. The hotel is neighbors with a nightclub that has a bass line that can move furniture, and does until all hours of the night. Reception is in the middle of a bunch of room entrances and is constantly noisy and apparently the meeting place for all groups of all sizes, at all hours of the day. The place is noisy and not relaxing at all.

For the price, I was expecting a lot more. The rooms were clean and nice however nothing special. My room lock didn’t work which I would’ve thought would be fixed prior to guests. The restaurant location is great overlooking the water however the food was just ok. They had no beef available and my lobster was overcooked. Bikes were available which was great. Overall, not worth the price.

Fabulous!
Excellent service! Beautiful location...right on the water with a lovely deck and restaurant just a short walk to other restaurants and shops and easy to get a taxi anywhere else. Make sure to have the staff schedule your taxi to the airport - you can have the driver accompany you on the ferry and bus and help with your bags all the way to the airport - definitely worth it!

The Best Front Desk Staff
This hotel is absolutely gorgeous and the staff was over the top in excellence, especially the Front Desk. I know that Hotels.com offers photos of rooms for easy selecting; but the one I chose was a bit misleading and so I was only slightly disappointed in the view that we got versus what was shown on the site. After a large party left, we were able to upgrade to the suite with the panoramic picture window of the bay which was exceptional. Thanks to the hotel’s front desk, they arranged for the upgrade and actually moved our luggage in for us once the room was ready. We came back from our adventures that day to an incredible room. The restaurant is also fantastic with its delicious food and incredibly friendly staff. Needless to say, the room’s bed, view, temperature, quietness and water pressure were perfect. The hotel offers a convenient snack shop with free filtered water. And the wildlife watching is not to be dismissed with its population of iguanas, seals and crabs. The hotel is also within walking distance to everything in town. Obviously, I would recommend staying here, it was absolutely amazing.
