    cleanliness issues
    neglected ambiance

    During my stay, I encountered significant issues with the cleanliness of the room. I found stains on the furniture and the overall ambiance felt neglected. It was disappointing given the high price I paid for accommodation.

    delightful breakfast
    outdoor play areas

    We loved soaking in the amazing views of the marine iguanas and giant tortoises from our suite. The staff went above and beyond, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere which made our stay unforgettable. The breakfast each morning, served outdoors, was simply delightful.

    In my wife’s opinion, more outdoor play areas for the kids would enhance the family experience.

    limited breakfast

    I had an amazing time at Blu Galapagos. The ocean-view room provided stunning views. The spacious design created a welcoming atmosphere. The staff offered exceptional service, particularly Angel, who remembered my preferences. I enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor lounge area by the water, perfect for watching sea lions. I really appreciated the location. walking to nearby restaurants and beaches was super convenient. However, the experience title manager lacked communication. I struggled to get assistance arranging tours. The breakfast lacked variety, and the shower temperature fluctuated too much. Despite minor issues, the hotel's charm and comfort made my stay delightful.

    Serene waterfront experience with family vibes

    I had a wonderful stay here, appreciating the unique architecture that blends seamlessly with the mangroves. The location by the water allowed for breathtaking views during meals, and the staff truly made me feel at home—nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfast was a highlight for me, featuring freshly made options that set a great tone for the day. One area for improvement could be the wifi connection, as it tended to be unreliable at times, likely due to the remote setting.
