Hotels in der Nähe von El Mirador de Los Tuneles, Puerto Ayora

Hotel is quite far from the waterfront, but its not a big issue as the walk is nice 15-20 min or you take a cab which is all time available for 1,5$. Its called Hostal but rooms are like in a Hotel. They are nice and clean. At the roof top you have nice view, tables and a bar which was not on duty when i was there. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I wanted to change my flight and the receptionist was very helpful and even wanted to go with me to the agency in town which was unfortuntely not existed anymore. For it class i can strongly recommend to stay there

Wir verbrachten 7 Nächte im White House und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel liegt ca. 10 Gehminuten vom Hafen entfernt, wir fühlten uns jederzeit sehr sicher auf dem Heimweg. Die Zimmer sind praktisch eingerichtet, sauber, warme Dusche, bequeme Betten, Zimmer durch einen gemütlichen und hübschen Innenhof mit Hängematten von der Strasse getrennt. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Besitzerfamilie, vermieten Fahrräder und hatten ein tolles Ausflugs-Angebot. Es gibt auch eine Gemeinschaftsküche mit Kühlschrank und Wasserspender, was sehr praktisch war. Jedoch könnte der Unterhalt der Küche (insbesondere bezüglich Sauberkeit und alter Lebensmittel) optimiert werden. Abgesehen davon, war alles top und wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

We arrived at the hotel where Josie showed us our rooms, we were with friends who had the 1st floor two room and we had the 2nd floor double room! They were all delightful and it made our evening when we had a beautiful sunset over the steps leading to our room. The staff helped with our suitcases and we prepared to go out in the town after Josie gave us directions. Very easy to find and the hotel was quiet during the night. Breakfasts were self service, delicious and plentiful! The yogurt was good and Josies cake- yummy! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Sehr gute und ruhige Lage. Die Anlage ist sehr schön, die Zimmer sind sauber. Es wurde täglich gereinigt. Der Weg zur Tortuga Bay ist gleich um die Ecke. Dieser dauert ca. 30-45 Minuten. Frühstück ist ein Chaos! Aufgeschnittenes und portioniertes Obst wird mit einem Süß-Joghurt gebracht. Die Eierbestellung wird in ein Handy getippt, aber was anderes gebracht. Auch wenn auf spanisch bei der Dame, Rühreier mit Käse und Zwiebel gewünscht werden, sind Zwiebel nicht möglich. Dann kommt es und die Scheibe Käse mit einer Scheibe Schinken liegen daneben. Dann täglich noch auf diesem Teller, mal ein Pancake, Waffel etc. Auch wenn nur Eier bestellt werden, kommen Käse/Schinken und die Zugabe. Erst als noch ein junger Mann bediente, waren plötzlich die Rühreier mit Käse und Zwiebel möglich. Ein Handy hat er nicht benötigt, konnte sich im Gegensatz zu der jungen Dame alles merken. Diese Dame bzw. Seniorita putzte den Tisch trotz Aufforderung wiederwillig und so, dass trotzdem Brösel etc. liegen blieben. Der Pool und Whirlpool wurden nicht gereinigt. Die Liegeauflagen sind verdreckt und schmutzig. Die Handtücher sind uralt, verfranzt, lösen sich auf, sind tlw. weiß, kurz oder lang. Vor Vortag wurden die Flaschen und Kaffeetassen nicht weggeräumt. Zwei Putzfrauen reinigen den ganzen Tag die Hotelzimmer. Und das ist unser Wermutstropfen gewesen. Wer den Rest macht, haben wir nach den 4 Nächten nicht herausgefunden oder gesehen. Hätten wir nicht unsere Tour über eine Agentur gebucht, wären wir abgereist. Dafür ist das Bohemian Cafe gleich rechts daneben ein Tippppp.

Espana is centrally located in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, Galapagos, close to bars, restaurants, shops, waterfront, pharmacies and medical facilities. I booked tours through the hotel which worked out very well, and the hotel suggested that I do the Santa Cruz Highlands tour (including El Chato Tortoise Reserve) en route from the airport as a combined transfer/tour. This was a great suggestion as you basically drive through the highlands coming from the airport anyway. Breakfast was included and delivered to my table each morning. On one morning, I had a boat trip to Bartolome island booked (on board schooner Nautilus - highly recommended), and the hotel receptionist met me at the hotel at 5:45am and walked me to the pickup location with her dogs. Wifi is terrible - as it is everywhere on the island (I tried every bar I was in) - can't even upload one photo! But its not the hotel, it's the whole island. Very happy with the experience overall. Hotels can be expensive here - not a bad spot to reign in the budget and splurge back on the mainland.

Es ist am Meer, es ist sehr bequem, das Zimmer ist sehr charakteristisch.

We had originally been planning to stay for 6 nights, then move on to Guayaquil for 4 nights but were advised against travel to anywhere outside the airport by the UK government. We decided to extend our stay at Royal Palm instead and were so glad we did. From the moment we arrived until we left we were made to feel most welcome, and were looked after so well. Particular thanks go to Alejandro for helping us to arrange an amazing day trip to Santa Fe island during the extended part of our stay, and to Rita, Gustavo and Danny in the restaurant. Cristina, the Sales manager who I had been in touch with prior to our visit had arranged a 5 day tour package which was really great. There was one day when we were due to leave the hotel early in the morning for a tour, but the restaurant opened 15 minutes early for us so that we could get breakfast before we left which we really appreciated. The hotel was not too busy and in fact restoration work is going on, but it was not obtrusive in any way. There were a couple of largish tour groups which came in during our stay, and the only downside to this was that the tour director of one of them insisted on his group meeting in the bar at 1845 each evening of their 4 nights there for a briefing which was very loud and meant that nobody apart from them could use the bar so we had to sit inside the restaurant in order to have a drink and a quiet game of cards. The weather at the hotel is a little different to that experienced at the coast, but that is due to the fact that the hotel is up in the cloud forest, and actually meant that it was not too hot. We did have a problem one night when the AC developed a fault but that was fixed as soon as it could be - it took a day or two but the staff sorted us out with a fan in the interim - and normal service was resumed again. I cannot emphasise enough how good the staff were from our arrival to our departure. The food in the restaurant was excellent - no complaints at all. Breakfast was good- some days when there were more people staying at the hotel there was a buffet, otherwise order from the menu. We stopped on the way from the airport to the hotel at a site called Los Gemelos (see photo) and walked through the Scalesia forest where we saw twin volcanic craters which were just incredible. What a way to start the visit! We were very lucky to be given an upgrade to an incredible villa - it even had a sauna inside, although we didn't actually use it. We had a lovely surprise from the hotel on our 32nd wedding anniversary - we had been out all day on a tour to Bartoleme island and returned to the hotel absolutely buzzing at the sights we had seen and found that they had put a lovely tray of fruits, dessert and a drink out for us along with a very thoughtfully hand written card signed from the team. Just when you thought a day couldn't get any better - the team showed it can! We were genuinely sorry to leave. As a lifetime Diamond member, I have stayed in a
