“This hotel stands out for its prime location on Puerto Ayora's waterfront. I particularly like the Mediterranean-style architecture framing views of Pelican Bay, where the local wildlife sometimes joins you for breakfast. With comfortable rooms, an ocean-view pool, and a focus on regional cuisine, it's a smart base for exploring the Galapagos.”
