This place was a dump. The beds and pillows were hard as rocks, the room was dusty with a blinking lightbulb that needed to be changed, no outlets to recharge anything. Drinks with no alcohol and and rowdy screaming friends of the management by the pool. It was sold to me by KV Travel in Manta as a very nice 3 star hotel. It was barely a step up from a hostel and there are probably better hostels for a lot less than what they charged. The furniture was falling apart and the pool and hot tub water was literally MURKY and dirty. In a word, GROSS. I refused to stay more than one night. I told our travel agent and asked for a partial refund since we were cancelling 3 days ahead of time. Of course they refused to give anything back since now in reading the reviews I see they are not honorable in their dealings. The central location is probably the only thing they have going for them but truly, stay away. We booked the Angermeyer for the last two nights on Santa Cruz which was 1000 times better than this hole.

Our room was not ready at 6pm which the check in should be at 3pm, they rushed to clean a room and didn't do it well after almost an hour of waiting at the lobby. Very rude staff.

As others have said, this place is centrally located with a wonderful staff. The view is to die for and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The restaurant is quite good as well. The included breakfast buffet is a nice extra. Don't forget to say hi to Holly the seal who swims in the pool everyday and then relaxes on the bench by the pool. We were even able to get some laundry done for $3 a pound. This was so helpful since we had packed so light for this trip.

I travel a lot for work and pleasure so to say this is the best hotel ever is saying a lot. The pictures on their website are exactly how everything looked. No photo shop going on. The hotel is on the water and right in the middle of town. Close to everything! We just arrived home from the Galapagos Islands. Our trip included being evacuated for the Tsunami and the clean up afterwards. We were not treated as guests that had to be evacuated but as family who needed to be taking care of because we were important. The morning after with no water or electricity, they still some how pulled off an amazing breakfast. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food was amazing, the wildlife just at the hotel was breath taking but the best part of this hotel is the staff and owners. Anything we needed or wanted was taking care of with a smile and immediately. We honestly felt like family (those you want to spend time with and visit often LOL). This hotel had everything you could ask for and more.

The hotel, the room, the restaurant, the location all perfect. I enjoyed three meals in the restaurant and each was delicious. Every employee was warm and welcoming but the girl at the front desk went above and beyond for me as I almost went to the wrong dock to find my cruise. I cannot thank her enough. I would definitly stay here again. The bed was comfy, the view of the harbor from my room was absolutely divine. Any questions I would be more than happy to try to answer them

We stayed 4 nights. We had a view of the Marina. On our first day while we were waiting for our room to be ready, we were entertained by diving blue footed Boobies and Pelicans.we were also greeted by iguanas passing by. The manager and his team were very informative. He made sure they had gluten-free options for the GF members of our group. The rooms were clean and comfortable. THE sealion shenanigans was fun to watch I would highly recommend Solymar for your next trip to Santa Cruz Galapagos

We booked this extremely last minute when we were already on the island and needed a hotel for the night. For the value I’d say it was pretty overpriced—while the rooms are quite clean, they are very dated (bathrooms and such) BUT I was told this is the last hotel that is exclusively run by Galapagonian owners (I think third generation if I remember correctly), so for that I would book again. It is also extremely well located steps away from all the shops and restaurants. However the #1 reason to book this hotel is for WENDY THE RESIDENT SEA LION!!! If you have kids, I feel they would get a kick out of waking up and seeing Wendy right outside their window. She lives there and freely hops from the lawn chairs in to the pool and then in to the sea. This hotel is the most oceanfront hotel I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot growing up in Hawaii! It’s a gem. We didn’t appreciate that the included breakfast ended at 8am (!?), so we skipped that, but if you are getting up early for an excursion it will work perfectly. One night was enough but we are sure glad we stayed here!! Gracias SolyMar!
