Suymar Ecolodge Galapagos

Staff were incredibly attentive, they prepared us a custom dinner and breakfast wich we ate on the patio outside our room. The place is so cute, and obviously taken care of with love.

It felt like staying with a family. Everything is clean, the pool was lovely, the bed was extremely comfortable and all the food was delicious. They were happy to help arrange transportation to and from the airport or dock at a reasonable price.

We had a lovely night at the lodge. It was a family run hotel who made us feel so welcome. The bed was huge and comfortable, the family were on hand for absolutely anything. They even came running out with umbrellas as we headed out for a walk in the rain. The food was fresh and delicious. Breakfast was served outside our room on the veranda, which was fantastic and quite simply the best omelette I have ever tasted. We arranged a pick up from the pier, which was provided at a very reasonable cost.

Family running the hotel were very nice and it’s in a nice quiet area. The hotel owner can drop you off/pick you up at Puerto Ayora and from the boat pier.

Do not overlook staying in Bella Vista because you want to explore Puerto Ayora. I recommend you stay part time in both. Bella Vista is for if you want to experience something more local and I highly recommend that. I traveled solo and it was a perfect time for some quiet. Puerto Ayora is a short car ride away. You can also walk outside the hotel to the little park or on the walking trail which I recommend and and it’s very safe since it’s just walking in a country road. The locals are extremely nice. Venicio also tells you what each meal is and if the meal is common among locals. This was an amazing hotel to stay at in Bella Vista. Venicio was AMAZING. I recommend going during the week day so that you have more space to yourself. That’s what I did and it was wonderful. This lodge includes all meals (at an extra cost), taxi service (depending on availability and at an extra cost). Meals and taxi were at a reasonable price so I suggest you tip well because the service is excellent! It’s truly staying in a more local part of Santa Cruz, if you want to be away from the tourist side for a bit as well. Gorgeous rooms with lots of space.
