I loved the hotel! The staff is very friendly, and they helped me with some specific requests I had since I was traveling with our baby. The room we stayed in was very nice and comfy; the hotel has a great place where we had breakfast right in front of the ocean, and from where we saw see lions, iguanas, crabs, birds, fish, etc. The hotel is surrounded by some mangroves, which is lovely, and we refilled our water bottles there. The location is perfect, right next to the Darwin station and the beginning of the town. The Almar restaurant next to it is great and the food is delicious. I highly recommend the hotel!

Maybe some comfy pillows can be added in the couple of chairs in the breakfast area to enjoy even more the view.

Fantastic location & away from town centre so very quiet . Easy , quick walk into town . Loved having the turtles & iguanas & seals & pelicans everywhere we looked . Spacious room overlooking the bay . Friendly & helpful staff. Excellent restaurant . Coffee & drinks available 24 hrs per day .

Having restaurant separately owned to hotel. As a resident, Would have like to have had access to the main restaurant decking in the mornings - the breakfast area was very small . Would have liked to be able to have had breakfast on the main decking in the restaurant . Also A bigger outside lounge area would be good - with a couple of sun loungers available !

We absolutely loved our stay at the Blu Galapagos. Perfect location, exceptional staff, and overall great vibe! We stayed in one of the rooms with an ocean view (‘The Wolf’ room) and it was by far a standout for our holiday. Super spacious and luxurious! The hotel has absolutely everything you need - food, wifi, free coffee/water/snacks, comfortable rooms, and bikes. The restaurant downstairs was fantastic also. The breakfasts were very yummy and we had lunch and dinner there too throughout our stay. Huge shout outs to Angel who went above and beyond with his service throughout our stay. He had great recommendations and deeply cared about making sure we had a good time. He even remembered a lot about us to ensure he we had a lovely experience. Thank you Angel for making our visit extra special! Highly recommend this hotel when staying in the Galápagos Islands!

Nothing!

We choose to stay in one of the rooms with a sea view for four wonderful nights, and it was absolutely worth it as we were able to observe the sea lions, pelicans and crabs in the bay, at all times of the day. The shower had hot water and the bed was large and comfortable, both perfect after a long day of exploring. The staff were very helpful - laundry services taking only a few hours. There's a little store on site for convenience, and the restaurant downstairs was very good - we ate there twice! You could also rent bikes for free, which was a nice perk! We also really enjoyed the location. The hotel sits towards the end of the main strip in town, close to many restaurants, bars and shopping and an easy walk to the bus stop and the pier for water taxis and tours (about a 12 minute walk)!

The breakfast could have been better. It's separate from the restaurant itself and we learned that it's coming from an entirely different kitchen. It's open from 6:30-9:30, which is nice since a lot of tours start early. But, we're not sure how often the food was replenished, as it was often cold. The selection was also limited, every day serving a different version of eggs, meat, bread, fruit, coffee and juice. The juice was delicious though, often fresh pressed!

Spoiled. Totally spoiled by Blu Galapagos. Everything was over the top perfection. The hotel is on the waterfront near the Charles Darwin Research Center and just enough on the edge of town that you feel isolated yet still within a five minute walk to the heart of this sweet port town. We stayed in the Darwin Suite which is primo for celebrating a loved one or yourself. I’ll be back for sure.

That we had to leave and continue on our journey.

Excellent location, close to the little beach at the Darwin Centre for a swim each morning. A fabulous terrace for dining. Each day we have enjoyed watching pelicans, sea lions, a sea turtle, lots of marine iguanas, some finches and other wildlife all whilst dining. A beautiful view out over the marina and town. Good rooms and really helpful staff. We organised for some of our luggage to stay here in-between trips to other islands. Good facilities and standard of decoration. Wonderful restaurant on site that we have eaten at several times in the evening. Any issues such as a damaged plug were resolved immediately. The staff have all been so kind and helpful.

Great location. Fabulous room. Great check in with friendly staff. Comfortable communal area and guest facilities. Free water and coffee. Loved the sea lions, iguanas, pelicans.

Breakfast was average. When there weren’t enough guests, breakfast was pre-cooked. This was cold and not very good.

Hotel and staff are nice. Breakfast or lunch box option if you leave early in the morning on a day trip.

I was victim of a scam via this reservation at Booking and could not contact the hotel to confirm and double check, as the telephones indicated in the reservation were wrong. Also the manager did not make any effort to talk to me, even though I asked to see her.

Perfect location! Honestly the best hotel on the island. So cozy. The restaurant is amazing and beautiful view. Every day right at my feet were sea lions, crabs, pelicans and fish. It was a dream .

The only issue was communicating with hotel About charging things to the room. They said yes and then after we left told us the restaurant was separate and it was a big hassle trying to get the restaurant their money . It was a big confusing mess but ended up Ok.
