“My stay was significantly enhanced by the property's prime location directly on a private dock, offering incredibly close views of marine life like sea lions and rays. The newness of the hotel is evident in its spacious, clean rooms and the truly exceptional pool area, which became a favored spot for observing the abundant local wildlife. It's a well-situated base, with everything in Puerto Ayora readily accessible by foot or by the complimentary bikes.”
