Muito boa. O hotel tem uma ótima localização, só podia melhorar um pouco o pão que é servido no café da manhã. Só tinha pão de forma.

Servicio de internet es pésimo. El desayuno muy pobre y básico. Precio de la habitación no corresponde a la realidad. Piscina y yacuzzi feos y sucios. No es ni mucho menos lo que se ve en las fotos del hotel.

Stunning hotel on the waterfront, sea lions in the lobby, birds everywhere, lovely pool and wonderful staff. Food and drinks were delicious at the restaurant and more dining choices were nearby. Best hotel on Santa Cruz, I think, and owned by the cousin of our Galapagos guide, long-time locals. Highly recommend.

When it comes to the Hotel Solymar, the location and harbor deck can not be beat. As for the rooms, they need work. Please be advised my wife and I were NOT looking for 5 star treatment, but what were were looking for was just a clean room. Having traveled the night before, what I desperately wanted (needed) was a nice shower. From the time I took my shower until the time I walked to the bed, my feet were more dirty than when I arrived. Spoke to the front desk where we received a big "sorry". Nice hotel, just make sure to ware your flip-flops

For the price we paid, expected better condition of room. Little more dated than expected but i guess we were paying for the location. The patio and pool area overlooked the ocean/bay where youll have frequent marine visitors like eagle ray, sea lions and turtles. The receptionists there were great too. Would stay again for location and service. But bit pricey I'd say.

Excellent staff service and location. They even have a resident sea lion that swims in the pool! Beds were a bit on the hard side though but a wonderful stay overall.

This hotel has to be one of the best in puerto agora in terms of location. It is on the waterfront and right in the heart of puerto agora with great eateries surrounding it. The room was generous and comfortable and had a private balcony which overlooked the deck and ocean. The highlight of the trip was definitely the resident seals that joined me for a swim in the pool and would often come up from the ocean to sleep on the deck! I would highly recommend this hotel

It is by the ocean but still overpriced. The rooms are super tiny no as advertised. The breakfast is horrible, the lowest quality food. The worse experience hotel ever.
