TARA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel was in a good position, close to the town and the sea front. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was very big, as was the bed. However the rooms were very noisy, particularly very early in the morning with scraping of chairs, slamming of doors and people being noisy. The rooms could also do with a bit of maintenance in several areas. The shower was not particularly great and the dispensers for the toiletries were unattractive and didn’t really work. The breakfast was also pretty basic and didn’t really change much. All in all, although the hotel was good, I felt that it was very overpriced for what it offered.

Great Place to Stay for Island Hopping.

Very good hotel - seems like one of the best in Puerto Ayora. Rooms were very large and bathrooms were nice. Food was OK, but breakfast was really good. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a luxury hotel to couple with many day excursions. Great views from the restaurant.
