We spent just two nights here before our cruise in the Galapagos. It was a pretty hotel and the owner was happy to help us with whatever we needed.

Alas, our stay here was just one night at the start of a cruise of the Galapagos Islands...and one night is certainly not enough at this charming resort in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island. Accomodations were in very handsome and roomy individual villas facing the ocean in the distance. The villa had four "to die for" rooms, including a... More

This is a hotel that once used to be proud but is now run down and dowdy. Like a Queen well past her age. It is 20 minutes from town and within a large property. The villas are isolated and look good on the outside. But once you come in you notice that not much maintenance has been done in... More

this is the quietest place I've ever been. the rooms are large and beautiful and the service is perfect. even though more people are here you never see or hear them. i was seeking rest, so the fog and islolation are welcome. it's a beatiful location, well maintained and luxurious. great for a self contained group or perfect for romance....

Our family of 5 adults stayed at the Imperial Suite of this hotel for 4 nights. The Hotel itself is located at an isolated place at an elevated altitude as compared to the rest of the hotels on this Island, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the town, taxis are easily available at $7 for a one-way trip....
