"Great little room... walking distance from the tourist strip. Clean and comfortable. Manager was not on site when I arrived, and had to call her. The showers were pretty average and I had to request the hot water be put on. Air con worked really well. It's a budget style hostel/hotel. I'd stay there again, but with lower expectations."
"This hotle is fantastic lovely people that work here

To rooms are so fantastic, comfortable bed can’t get any better and good breakfast."
"We had a lovely night at the lodge. It was a family run hotel who made us feel so welcome.
The bed was huge and comfortable, the family were on hand for absolutely anything. They even came running out with umbrellas as we headed out for a walk in the rain.
The food was fresh and delicious. Breakfast was served outside our room on the veranda, which was fantastic and quite simply the best omelette I have ever tasted.
We arranged a pick up from the pier, which was provided at a very...
"The owner was wonderful and very helpful in arranging ferry tickets and tours of the island. The rooms were clean and comfortable for the price. There is significant noise that comes from the street at night and street lights lighting up the room for the entire night."
"Staff was very friendly and very helpful when we had some issues (issues not related to the hotel stay). The staff tried their best to be accommodating!"
"The front desk (young men) are really professional helpful and nice, besides the property manager was very professional and helpful thanks Fernandina I highly recommend "

"Excellent property and the pool area was so beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and when we had early tours they wrapped up a to go breakfast as long as you told them the night before. If I ever come back to the Galapagos we will stay here again. Hot tub was great too. "
"We had a great stay at Blu Galapagos. Loved the location and our room was perfect - Great view, well maintained and had a king bed. Even if the description says queen bed and the picture looks like a king, you can trust the picture. Morning breakfast with iguanas and seals, and all day Galapagos coffee availability made this stay special. "
"Excellent location, clean, friendly, and great breakfast. Highly recommend. Only caveat- the outdoor area on the water shown in photos is actually a couple blocks from the rest of the hotel. Not a big deal, but I was surprised. "
"amazing hotel and the best service the pool is the perfect spot to see seals, sea turtles, sting rays, sharks and pelicans , at night it’s quiet and the room was perfect. loved especially
my balcony overlooking the docks. "
Royal Palm Galapagos, Curio Collection Hotel by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"The Royal Palm offers a truly immersive Galápagos experience—set inland on a stunning 100 acre property, far from the touristy feel of the ports. Recently under new ownership, the property is being refreshed: rooms are spacious and renovated, the pool has been redone, and quiet renovations are underway, including apparently a unique lava tunnel spa. Some exterior areas still need attention, but the overall feel is serene and authentic.
Service is top-notch and boutique-level, with attentive, personalized touches throughout. A special thank you to Gustavo, the ever-present and gracious manager. The restaurant is excellent, with a warm team—Rita made us feel at home and remembered our names. Breakfasts are fresh, varied and awesome.
Excursions can be organized by the hotel and work seamlessly. Duncan gave us a deep dive into the island’s geology and ecology, while Maritza kept our 8–14-year-olds fully engaged with her energy and knowledge. Boat tour days were a highlight—fantastic snorkeling, incredible island views, and a surprisingly gourmet chef onboard (kudos)! The boat crew was kind and professional. Guide quality, however, faltered which was disappointing.
Overall, The Royal Palm is a peaceful, character-rich base for a Galápagos trip—elevated by excellent service, comfort, and nature.

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. The service was top-notch, and they made us feel welcome throughout our stay.
For a fee, they conveniently arrange transportation to and from Baltar Airport, which made our trip even smoother. Additionally, they provide free clean cold/hot drinking water and coffee for guests downstairs, which was a nice touch. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay!"
