Family running the hotel were very nice and it’s in a nice quiet area. The hotel owner can drop you off/pick you up at Puerto Ayora and from the boat pier.

Venicio is kind and this hotel has service
Posted 10 Jul 2024 on HotelsDo not overlook staying in Bella Vista because you want to explore Puerto Ayora. I recommend you stay part time in both. Bella Vista is for if you want to experience something more local and I highly recommend that. I traveled solo and it was a perfect time for some quiet. Puerto Ayora is a short car ride away. You can also walk outside the hotel to the little park or on the walking trail which I recommend and and it’s very safe since it’s just walking in a country road. The locals are extremely nice. Venicio also tells you what each meal is and if the meal is common among locals.
This was an amazing hotel to stay at in Bella Vista. Venicio was AMAZING. I recommend going during the week day so that you have more space to yourself. That’s what I did and it was wonderful. This lodge includes all meals (at an extra cost), taxi service (depending on availability and at an extra cost). Meals and taxi were at a reasonable price so I suggest you tip well because the service is excellent! It’s truly staying in a more local part of Santa Cruz, if you want to be away from the tourist side for a bit as well. Gorgeous rooms with lots of space.

Suymar seemed to be very well maintained. BUT it was in a very non-touristy area, and very isolated from Puerto Ayore. I had to cancel my reservation.

Clean room, breakfast was tasty. Coordination with pick up failed but mr. Vinicio helped me as far as tours to see the most out of my limited time.

I most liked the food we recieved and the gracious and very professional service. This hotel is ecological which is a good thing. But I missed having air conditioning. I MUST add that nights were cool and the fan was adequate. However after a hot day of touring!, I wanted to get cool faster. Nevertheless I still compliment the hotel for energy conservation.

A gem outside of town.
Posted 29 Jun 2019 on HotelsThe place was amazing. So clean and well cared for. The owner was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. He was able to call cabs for us and made sure we got back safely in the evening. It is cash only when you check in so be prepared. It is a little outside of town, about 15 min, $5 cab ride from Puerto Ayora, which was a little tough but everything else was wonderful.

Great idyllic place
Posted 8 Jan 2019 on HotelsBonificio and his staff were extremely helpful. Love the idyllic setting and Galapagos natural surroundings. Everything is perfect. Highly recommend. Easy access by taxi ($3-5) or bus ($0.50) to Puerto Ayora.
