Santa Cruz Island, Galápagos hotel rooms at the Independent

"Really great staff! Very welcoming and hard working. The hotel could use a little maintenance. Beautiful landscaping."

"Lovely hotel set back from sea and not far to town and beach. Very helpful staff. Everything functional and fit for purpose. "

"Great little family run hotel. 5 blocks from the main tourist area. Couldn't fault it! "

"I was very pleased with Blu Galapagos. The rooms were very clean, great view, very helpful staff. My only recommendation would be to not use the tour company in the hotel. I booked a tour after being very specific in what I wanted to see. I was assured it was possible but once I arrived the tour guide explained there was not enough time within my limited time to see what I came for. Very disappointed. Was not offered any refund or other compensation. The tour was not inexpensive and feel I was completely lied to and intentionally misled. "

"Wonderful staff, beautiful room, delicious breakfast!"

"Staff was great. Pool was really nice with lots of wildlife to watch right off the side of the it."

"The best part about staying at Royal Palms Galapagos was the staff. They were all friendly and helpful, making their best effort to make our stay enjoyable. They remembered our dietary restrictions and would point out if a dish had food we couldn’t eat. The facilities were very nice, and cleaned by friendly staff. The property grounds were serene and lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely choose the Royal Palms again."

"The whole team did an amazing job, and special shout out to Andy who went above and beyond to provide the best service. Jonatan has an incredible team and they made this one of the best experiences even when things did not go as planned. They were able to accommodate as much as possible in a short period of time. Hotel and tour agency staff are top notch."

"Beautiful resort, impeccably clean, very kind and enthusiastic staff. Delicious restaurant. 5 stars all around, we will definitely return!"
