Très bon séjour
Pros:

L’emplacement est parfait, au bord de la mer et proche de la plage. Depuis le ponton de l’hôtel, vous pourrez apercevoir: otaries, requins de récifs, crabes, tortues de mer, pélicans, frégates, hérons et iguanes).
La literie est très bonne.
Les lits sont très grands.
La climatisation fonctionnait bien.
Le pot d’accueil est délicieux (préparé par le barman Daniel qui mérite sincèrement une promotion)

Nous étions informés de la nécessité de prendre un bateau-taxi pour nous rendre en ville (ce qui participe au charme de l’hôtel et permet de rendre l’emplacement beaucoup plus privé)

Le restaurant est tout simplement délicieux (malgré le temps d’attente un peu long - comme partout en Equateur).

Cons:

La décoration des chambres et des salles de bains est à revoir (vasques, carrelage, rideau de douche, peinture dans la salle de bains, notamment dans la chambre que nous avions au troisième étage).

La chambre flamingo, que nous avions également, est au rez-de-chaussée et est sujette au bruit des frigos des cuisines du restaurant. Il y avait des travaux à l’arrière de l‘hôtel mais nous n’avons entendu aucun bruit.

Le petit-déjeuner à la carte est succinct mais possède des produits de qualité. Un buffet aurait été plus appréciable, d’autant que si vous souhaitez vous faire resservir de boisson chaude, un supplément vous sera demandé (alors même que les tasses sont petites).
Lors de notre départ matinal, un petit-déjeuner à emporter nous a été servi: celui-ci était mauvais (pourtant, l’intention était bonne).

Enfin, il y avait de la musique dans le restaurant (parfois forte), ce qui est dommageable si vous souhaitez écouter la mer ou vous reposer.

Pros:

La ubicación del hotel, sus vistas, el personal en general y el restaurante

Cons:

El baño muy flojo!, usualmente con olor a humedad ya que la ducha tiene una cortina de baño que esta siempre mojada y el piso también húmedo. La cama es Queen, un poco chica para poder dormir comodo dos personas. Ah y el ventanal de la habitación que da al balcón no tiene mosquitero, por lo cual no podes tenerlo abierto porque se meten bichos de todo tipo, tratamos pero no funciono.

Overvalued, outdated, did not meet our expectations. Outdated rooms with tiny double bed.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, all fresh made but we were in a rush to get our transport and said so at the start. It still took 40minutes to get our breakfast.

Cons:

There was nothing to do. I had asked our agent (who suggested this hotel) for a relaxed hotel with a swimmingpool for our last day. She said this was a great option with all the facilities (we asked specifically for a pool) there was nothing. No pool, no other facililities, literally nothing.The double room bed was the smallest I ever encountered. The room was very outdated. There were ants everywhere (we had no food in the room). The bathroom was full of ants and also they crawled over the bed. The curtains were very light so all the light came through and woke us up at like 5 / 5.30am. The staff was nice and helpful but the hotel was just nothing there and not the facilities our agent said there were. The restaurant and food was nice. But the rest was just old and outdated. Shower with a curtain, the water didn't flow away properly etc etc. Of course it is not the hotel's fault that there was no pool and no facilities. We booked via booking but on suggestion of an agency that had organised a large part of the holiday. Next time I will check facilities a lot better as this was really a disappointing visit especially for the price paid.

Beautiful hotel, at best location
Pros:

A brilliant hotel, located right on the waterfront (as the name implies), where you can often spot reef shark and turtles in the water below. Great and very accomodating staff, brilliant restaurant. Initially, we thought the $1, 2 min water taxi to Puerto Ayora was a bit of a nuisance, but quickly got used to the uniqueness of this - and it was very efficinet, never had to wait more than 1-2 minutes.

Cons:

some double rooms are on the smallish side
