Overvalued, outdated, did not meet our expectations. Outdated rooms with tiny double bed.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 The room was very outdated.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 But the rest was just old and outdated.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

Atemberaubend schön und komfortabel
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Wasser und beim Dinner konnten wir im beleuchteten Wasser Goldrochen, kleine Haie und eine Grüne Meeresschildkröte sehen. Atemberaubend. Das Restaurant hat eine sehr gute Küche. Unser Zimmer hatte Meerblick , eine Klimaanlage und als Alternative einen Deckenventilator. Ein Wassertaxi für 1€ war jederzeit verfügbar und schafft auch großes Gepäck 😉

Cons:

Das WLAN ist im Zimmer und im Restaurant schwach.
