Bella Vista, Galápagos hotel rooms at the Independent

"Absolutely happy with everything!!!! My room was cleaned before I back from my day out!!! Great service! Recommend to everyone!!! Close to everything !! Loved it "

"Clean large bright nice rooms and bathrooms with hot water. Basic breakfast is excellent. Clean towels and rooms are cleaned everyday with new fresh towels. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. 5 min walk from the main pier and downtown restaurant. Good value for price and location."

"This place is amazing!!! The staff was great and the amenities are top! The hot tub is open all day! Breakfast was the best I’ve had in a hotel. We will definitely recommend it to friends. We stayed at the dock house and it was unbelievable, just make sure the propane tank for the hot tub is connected when you are checking in so when you are ready to use it, you can get it going no problem … otherwise dock house is the best "

"The staff was great. The included breakfast was delicious. We stayed one night and had dinner which was one of the best meals on Santa Cruz. What really set the hotel apart from others was the fact that we were able to check in when we arrived at 10:30 am. The grounds were beautiful with about 15 to 20 giant tortoises roaming freely among coffee, banana and orange trees. I would definitely recommend them."

"Everything was fine. I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Thank you so much. "

"Clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast. Nice roof top view of ocean."

"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!"
