My stay at Casa Natura was lovely in every way, from the beautiful foliage around the hotel to the delicious meals provided for us daily. The family spoke little English, but their generosity was evident in every way, and we could not have felt more welcomed. By the end of our 10 day stay in the Galápagos Islands, the staff of Casa Natura felt like family. The food was amazing, and I looked forward to meals every day. The air conditioning worked well in the rooms, and the hammocks outside were perfect for relaxing in the shade. 10/10 recommend for anyone seeking a place to feel at home during a stay in the Galápagos Islands.

"Semilla Verde is an exceptional hotel with the customs and personality of a traditional guesthouse." We believe your experience in the Galapagos Islands should be as unique and natural as you are. So, here at Semilla Verde we offer you the chance to stay somewhere far removed from your busy life and the standard hotel offering you may be used to. We invite you to step into another world, the original Galapagos, the true and enchanting islands. And, to experience the wonders of a rural forest dwelling and life alongside the unique wildlife you came so far to see. Your stay will be based in an original and idyllic rural retreat where peace, privacy and Galapagos wildlife abounds. You will enjoy one-to-one personal service, traditional home cooking, panoramic views from private terraces and exclusive access to nature trails through twelve acres of private forest where giant tortoises lumber freely and native birds thrive. At night, gaze up into the unspoilt majesty of the milky way. Nine comfortable en-suite bedrooms with AC, WiFi and DVD just 15 minutes taxi ride from Puerto Ayora town, costing just $7 e/w. All in all, an authentic and genuinely friendly and authentic land-base for your Galapagos adventure and an all encompassing alternative or add-on to a traditional cruise ship experience. Semilla Verde works with a local tour agency to offer complete hotel & tour package options too. You will visit outlying islands and local sites with qualified naturalist guides and experience first hand the beauty of Galapagos and it's unique flora and fauna - from giant tortoises and lava lizards to marine iguanas and playful sea lions, from volcanic landscapes to cloud forest. Return to the hotel at the end of an incomparable day and share your travel stories around the main dining table with other guests, whilst enjoying dinner freshly prepared in our kitchen. Indeed we don't work from a fixed menu rather we generally prepare one recipe for the group, but each guest receives a serving according to their individual preferences. The location is secluded but convenient and very safe. There is not another residence within hundreds of meters of this oasis. Semilla Verde remains true to the philosophy on which it originally built for good friends and family, ensuring a level of intimacy, small number of employees offering very personal service and home cooking your will only find in a traditional guesthouse. Semilla Verde comprises two hotel buildings some 100ft apart - the Semilla Verde Lodge (Rooms 1-6) and the Finch Wing (Rooms 7-9). They can work in unison or as separate entities for separate parties. Between the two there is a fully equipped yoga studio where you can enjoy individual or group practice. Galapagos is famous for it's volcanic landscapes and unique wildlife, but it can also be somewhere for you to rediscover your true and unique nature, somewhere you can feel yourself again.
From pre-stay communication, to check in to departure, we couldn’t have hoped for more. Cattya took care of us at every moment. She is the epitome of hospitality, from two with very critical hospitality eyes. Truly the best part of our trip!!!

The award-winning hotel enjoys a peaceful and magical beachfront location in Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz Island. The 21 Garden View-rooms and 6 Ocean View suites hotel makes the ideal base for exploring the natural diversity and attractions of the island – including Tortuga Bay beach – and for taking day-trips to nearby islands, aboard its own, specialized yacht. The hotel also implements best practices in sustainable tourism.
We are just checking out of Finch Bay after a lovely relaxed three night stay. These were the last nights of an action packed 15 night stay so we have been winding down and relaxing. The entire team at the hotel are charming, friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The bay is secluded and lovely for a very gentle snorkel. It is a short walk to Las Grietas and an easy boat ride back into town. Importantly, the bed was really comfortable with good pillows so easy to get a good nights sleep. The food in the restaurant was excellent and eating out by the pool very relaxed and chilled

We are located 50 meters from the main tourist thoroughfare of the city and only 10 minutes from the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park. Traveller's choice since 2015 Welcome to "Your home in Galapagos"
We stayed here for 3 nights after our Galapagos cruise, based on TA reviews. We are so glad we chose Cucuve. The hotel is clean, nicely decorated and our room (101) was spacious and comfortable. It was quiet and the king size bed was quite comfortable. My husband commented several times about how comfortable the bed was. They think of everything for the room. The whole hotel is light and bright. We liked that the hotel was close to everything but slightly off the main street (Charles Darwin) which we thought made it quieter. We had them do our laundry and it was back very quickly and was not expensive. Ana and staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfast was always good and we had a number of choices each day. The coffee was great. We had them arrange airport transport for us both ways, just to make it easier for us, and we were very pleased. We highly recommend Cucuve Hotel.

This is an attractive, welcoming hotel with excellent service. Many of the rooms have balconies with scenic views of nature and the ocean. It's in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to Charles Darwin center and the shops/restaurants on the island. Manager Carlos was helpful with everything.

Our family (2 adults plus kids ages 11 and 8) spent 5 nights at the Angermeyer. Through our tour agency (Ecoluxury Group), we booked two rooms that were connected by a balcony giving a setup more like a suite that was perfect for providing space and privacy. The hotel's website is a bit sparse in terms of information, but do not be concerned. We found the location beautiful, the rooms comfortable, and the staff super helpful and friendly. We built great relationships with several staff during our stay, and they were highly attentive in ensuring we had meals and transportation at the right times to enable connecting to our daily scheduled tours. We loved the hotel location. It's located about a 2 minute water taxi ride from the main port (80 US cents per person per ride). The location provides the beauty and serenity of being waterfront with a bit less activity and noise than the main port. Our kids also greatly enjoyed swimming in the waters right out front of the hotel in an area separated from the main boat traffic by a rope connected to the dock. The food was also excellent (great flavors, large portions), and my wife (who is gluten free) had plenty of good options. Our itinerary had us away from the hotel for most of the day (3 boat trips and one day shopping / touring sites in the main port) but the hotel was a perfect morning / evening base and a great spot for some afternoon fun in the water.

Stayed here with family on a business trip for an extended stay. We cannot say enough about the staff. We might as well have been staying in their home. The owner made sure to check on us and provide all the information we needed to make our trip successful. The staff work so hard to accommodate your every need. If I were to say one thing negative it would be the bed. Definitely time to upgrade. It was like sleeping on a board/floor, but did not ruin our stay in the least. It can also be loud at night, but again not a reason to pass staying here. The food at the restaurant was very good, but make sure to venture out because there are a lot of other good options close by. Having Wendy (the resident sealion) and Lulu (Wendy's daughter) visit was definitely the highlight. Wendy minded her own business and let the kids swim around her. Lulu on the other hand wanted the entire pool to herself. She had fun swimming around the water and stealing the kid's flip flops/snorkel and mask, but did not ruin them. She just wanted to have some fun. Once Wendy was finished swimming with her daughter she kicked me out of my lounge chair. It was hilarious! Lots of other sea life right off the restaurant patio - sea turtles, sharks, crabs, etc. We all had a wonderful stay and were sad to leave. Absolutely would stay here again...until next time - adios

This place saved us! We moved from Solymar due to super uncomfortable beds that literally made our bodies hurt to the point of not being able to sleep and min room amenities on top of that. Then we found Torre Mar! Very comfortable stay. The beds are great, the AC’s work very well, the wifi was strongest there then anywhere I had on the island and all the room amenities you’d want! The balcony off my room was a great place for me to get some work done and relax. But they also have the best outdoor hangout area ever! Comfy seats, grill, bar top, pretty views. Love this place. The place is walking distance to pretty much anything you need. But in the rare event you want to ride. The taxis are by all the time and they’re only $1.50 to take you anywhere in town. Or Donna has a spot to keep your bike if you want to rent bikes. Looking forward to coming back here and sending everyone I know to this place as well.

I’m not sure how I forgot to review this hotel. We stayed last October. We were desperate for a place to stay after walking out of Torre Del Mar. (dreadful) we found this hotel and they were able to accommodate a family of 5. The rooms were air conditioned, CLEAN and xtemely Comfortable. We had so much room. They had a lovely terrace to hang out on. Great breakfast. Extremely friendly staff .Everything was walkable. Don’t overspend and stay at some of the more $$ places. This truly was a hidden gem. We were so happy finding this boutique hotel
