"This hotel was exceptional!! Great personnel, excellent receptionist who recommended really nice tours and drivers. Great servers at the restaurant in the evening, we enjoyed it. The pool area is very serene and beautiful, overlooking a beach with baby sea lions 🦭❤️"
"We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Galapagos Hotel in San Cristóbal. The hotel is perfectly situated right at the port, offering a great balance of lively daytime activity while remaining quiet and peaceful at night—ideal for a good night’s sleep.
All of the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Max, Joshua, and Antonia were always ready to answer questions, offer guidance, or help arrange transportation, which made our stay feel easy and well supported.
Everything was immaculately clean, and we were very happy with our overall experience. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again."
"Had a wonderful stay with family at this hotel. Harry is a great host. The breakfast room upstairs has great views we enjoyed the delicious breakfast there. "
"The accommodations were worth the price, and the hotel service was good. But pass on the restaurant in the evening. It is not where you want to be waiting for food after trekking all day. The staff is nice, is very nice, but insufficient, and I waited 90 minutes for my simple meal on the terrace. Also, there is major construction next door with heavy equipment on the adjacent wall — not relaxing. I suspect this work will be done by summer, 2026. "
"This place was cozy and great although a bit away from the main hustle bustle. The host was very helpful. Only thing is they only took payment in cash which stressed me out as I was starting to run low after that"
"My room and the rest of the property was kept very clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. She even let us wash our very muddy shoes in a tub outside and put them in the sun to dry. Also liked that there was tea, coffee filtered water, refrigerator, toaster and microwave available!e 24 hours. "
