Royal Galápagos Inn

The outside of the hotel has an eclectic feel with the tropical florals and outer wall cut outs. The room is spacious and basic, with outer balconies including hammocks . Relax beach vibes and close enough to walk to the shoreline where the crabs and sea lions roam in abundance. Service was quick and complimentary breakfast was good.

Upon arrival the owner was vocal with us that we got a room rate from Expedia much lower than what he usually charges, making us feel bad. He then gave us a room which had so many problems. The shower gave hot water for only 30 seconds then went cold. We asked the owner about this and we were asked why we needed hot showers anyway? Then during a rain storm a large crack allowed lots of water into the room and flooded the floor. The owner is building new rooms out the back of the property and the loud construction noise didn’t finish until 21:30 one night. I do not understand why the owner is building new rooms when his existing rooms are quickly falling into a state of disrepair! One day we asked about snorkel hire and we were fobbed off to a shop that was almost always closed, so he was not very helpful at all as a host.

Clean, super friendly staff, great service and the location is perfect. This place has everything, and we even got early breakfast when we had tours that started at 07:00. If you are staying in San Cristobak, this is the place.

Eduarado was absolutely amazing! As was the rest of the team! Breakfast was delicious, everyone was so kind and welcoming. I unfortunately got sick on our vacation and the team made me tea to help me feel better and would ask my husband how I was doing. They were so caring and lovely!

The staff was amazing, my room was spotless with a great view! I enjoyed the free breakfast and the easy beach access.
