Beautiful rooftop restaurant
Pros:

We visited this rooftop restaurant twice, the cocktails are really reasonably priced from an average margarita at $6 to a flamingo mist of $8. The food range is pretty good with a limited menu with a lean on fish dishes, but they also have a special burger menu for approx $12 - $15. We had pasta for about $15 each and risotto on the prior visit. The views are stunning and the restaurant is open to none hotel guests. The service is quite slow, we waited about 30 minutes for drinks. On our first visit we got a small free dish of popcorn prior to our meal. At most there was about 6 people here at any one time. It's a lovely restaurant, really modern decor and scrolling clips of the animals of the Galapagos on the TV. On our second visit Christian the waiter, asked us to do a review and waited with me while I completed it. At the end of the meal he then requested a tip which he didn't on the first time visiting. I can't comment on the hotel as we didn't stay there but it seems like it has a modern front desk and nice beach front location.

Great bar with great views and a pool around the back. The beer with the happy hour deal was really good. Christian was a brilliant bar tender and really friendly as well. Definitely worth a visit after a day at the beach

Great seafood on San Cristobal!
Pros:

We are at the restaurant above the hotel and had the Garlic Shrimp. The food was DELICIOUS and very reasonably priced compared to many other places in the Galapagos. Our server was Christian and he was very attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend. We did not stay at the hotel but they also have a pool, common areas and taxi services. Given how friendly the staff were we would definitely consider staying here if we return to the Galapagos. Don’t hesitate!

Great restaurant
Pros:

The shrimp at Miconia in San Cristóbal was outstanding — perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. Easily one of the best meals I had in the Galápagos. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and excellent service made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the island.

Avoid!!
Pros:

The Good: location, Lola was very friendly, helpful and always smiling

The Bad: bed is not comfortable, hot water takes forever, pool was very dirty and cold

The Ugly: we booked through Expedia which advertised free breakfast but the hotel wouldn’t honour it
Jenny was rude and very argumentative and seemed very unhappy to work-never smiles
She also failed to tell us at check in that the front door is locked at 11pm and we need a code to get in. We went out and didn’t come back until after midnight to find ourselves locked out!Thankfully some people were walking by that knew someone to give us the code to get in

We travel a lot and have never had such an unpleasant experience before. I would not recommend staying here!

Hotel in process of putting Lipstick on a Pig
Pros:

We stayed 3 nights as part of a tour of 17 people. As we checked in, the front facade was being painted...drips left on tile all week. Quesionable timing...you have a large group checking in, and THIS is when you decide to paint? Check in process was fine. Offered a welcome drink in the bfast room for our tour orientation. Went to rooms. The pictures on line (if they haven;t been updated) show colorful pillows. These were all removed and piled in a storage area/renovation staging area, which appears to be the new Spa. Walked by this mess everyday. Note picture of current upkeep of the property. Crumbling concrete, hanging wires, missing awning pieces, wood stain and stair treads missing chunks of wood, and lack of deep cleaning. Breakfast was flacid and cold. Although there was a pool, not able to enjoy. Jack Hammers, concrete cutting, and constant construction, would you want to lay out and relax? I will compliment their snorkel gear ($6 to rent/day, good quality), location, and new sheets. No glasses in room, but water jug in reception area for water refills.

Well located and comfortable
Pros:

I stayed here as part of a tour group. Well located - adjacent to the harbor where many sea lions hang out. Staff at the hotel are very helpful. An inexpensive but very good lunch is available with outside seating. A variety of rooms available, some with balconies and hammocks. Note that there is no elevator to the second and third floor, but staff is willing to help transport luggage.

Decent
Pros:

We stopped here for dinner and had the churros appetizer with coffee honey. The fried dough was not in a classic churros shape. We also had the veggies in coconut sauce, and this was very tasty.
