If being by the water is a major draw, Tortuga Bay Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 43.7 mi (70.3 km) from central Bella Vista. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Playa de los Alemanes.
When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Playa de los Alemanes, located 0.8 mi (1.2 km) from central Puerto Ayora. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Tortuga Bay Beach.
Galapagos Interpretation Center is 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, why not stop by during your stay. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Malecón San Cristobal, just a short walk away.
I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. First I have to mention the staff: they were by far the friendliest, most accommodating, helpful hotel staff I have ever encountered. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of in any way possible, without being overbearing in the slightest. The laundry service was very convenient and perfectly timed during our trip. The hotel breakfast was some of the best meals we had during the whole trip. The beds were more...

Maidith is such a wonderful hotel. It is very cute and clean. The owner Juan Carlos was a wealth of knowledge and so accommodating and always available to help out and recommends restaurants or excursions. Lourdes and Shisela were wonderful. They always made such a delicious breakfast and were so sweet. I definitely recommend Maidith as a place to stay.

We stayed at Finch Bay Hotel for 2 nights first and then stayed at Cucuve Suite for 3 nights. It doesn't have a swimming pool nor a private beach, but our stay there was really comfortable because of the very kind staff. We will definitely stay again when we go to Galápagos Islands.

The family that runs this B&B were extremely nice and they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We stayed here 3 nights. The location is great, close to Los Kioskos, the ferry/taxi docks, the fish market, and the trail to Tortuga Bay. The air conditioners worked well and there was hot water. The free breakfast every morning was unbeatable! Fresh juice, pancakes, eggs, toast with the most incredible fruit jellies, coffee, tea, yogurt, granola, and cereal. The rooms were spacious and...

What a great property! We explored the property every day and found tortoises everywhere. The food was good- especially the lunch we had preordered for our arrival. We are vegans and it was perfect.
The Manager, Shania, was really helpful and exceptional at her job. The rest of the staff was great as well.
Our only complaint was that we were in room 7 in the main building. We were above the kitchen and the noise at 6:15am was as if we were sleeping in the kitchen. Until that sound proof...

Diego, Betsy, and Cisne took great care of me while I was there. They literally took care of everything. From breakfast to booking tours, you name it they took care of it. Would definitely recommend to others

This place was amazing! Carlos is so friendly and genuinely invested in making sure his guests have the best stay they can have. He made sure everything was working no and ready for us and made sure we felt comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here for those doing the Galapagos on their own

Really great service, rooms were perfect. Continental breakfast is a huge understatement. They are happy to please with eggs however you like, fresh juice of all types, fresh bread and fresh local fruit. All delicious!
Does have WiFi however do not expect much (very slow to unuseably slow) on the island in general. Also, be sure to ask for different pillows if you do not like the foam ones.
Laundry service is also very economical and convenient. Just ask and they'll have your clothes...

The Honeymoon Suite (same price as other rooms) is absolutely beautiful - rounded ceiling, ample space, private balcony, and 180 windows. The bed was huge and comfortable. Staff was highly attentive and provided many recommendations throughout. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful thing about the hotel is that it is operated by Metropolitan Tours. All or half day hiking and boat excursions led by a guide can be reserved at the desk. And, most importantly, you are guaranteed the best possible tour and experience. (We heard stories of land based operatives in town who overcharged, whose guides didn't speak English, who apcharged hidden fees, etc. No such problem with the Finch Bay Metropolitan Touring people!

Cormorant Beach House was a welcoming shelter against the elements and a stark contrast to the bare infrastructure of the island.
The hotel rooms are either directly facing the beach or if you’re on the second floor, it’s literally on the beach. The ocean view was absolutely gorgeous and the beach was not crowded at all.
We loved going up to the rooftop terrace to enjoy breakfast. Hats off to the chef and his assistance for preparing our delicious breakfast and making us feel like we’re home....

Stayed 3 nights November 2017. A very comfortable hotel a short and enjoyable water taxi away from the main pier. Great views of the harbor and a small beach a short shaded walk away were among the highlights of this well maintained property. Plenty of crabs, iguanas and finches on the grounds and the semi-isolation of being away from the main drag was especially appreciated at night. Staff were very nice and helpful, and I highly recommend the Angermeyer for those visiting Santa Cruz.
