On the water is a nice location.

Leaving.

This was our second stay in the room, Darwin, that looks over the bay. Three sides are glass walls. It’s magnificent and magical during a vacation that is already spellbound by just ‘being here.’ Environmentally friendly in the sense of, whoever you are, wherever you live, you can take home an idea on how to better your own world. I can’t imagine not planning another visit, maybe in a different month, and savor the moment of staying in this fabulous hotel. Truly.

Good breakfast, but there is a need to relocate breakfast back to original restaurant area.

We had a couple of things we felt weren’t great about the property. Firstly, our other hotels on Galapagos were really helpful with pointing us towards trusted providers for tours and we found Blu Galapagos were really reluctant. They even had a sign up advertising last minute tours but when we asked they took the sign down. They said they’d look into it for us as we’d asked about the sign, and would come to our room to update us, but they never got back to us. When we asked again the next day they gave us some individual WhatsApps for people on the island but most didn’t reply. The restaurant within the hotel isn’t affiliated to the hotel, the food there is amazing but they don’t do breakfast, which wasn’t so great as it was all served outside on hot trays from another restaurant given they don’t have a kitchen. The shower goes from boiling hot to freezing cold which was particularly not great after being in the cold ocean all day. The walk from the pier is about 15 minutes, not too bad but probably one of the further hotels in town.

We had a good stay, nice rooms, accommodating, nice to be on the sea which great views. It was very comfortable. The restaurant attached is really nice and it was a real bonus they let us into our room early given it was available and we arrived early.

However, we booked a junior suite expecting a balcony with an ocean view, as shown in the photos, but this wasn’t the case. Instead, the room had just one small window that partially faced the ocean. The biggest disappointment was that we didn’t have hot water for the entire 5 days of our stay, despite being told it was fixed on day 4. This was a major inconvenience for us.

The location of the property is excellent, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant downstairs was fantastic, and the place felt clean and well-kept.

Maybe some comfy pillows can be added in the couple of chairs in the breakfast area to enjoy even more the view.

I loved the hotel! The staff is very friendly, and they helped me with some specific requests I had since I was traveling with our baby. The room we stayed in was very nice and comfy; the hotel has a great place where we had breakfast right in front of the ocean, and from where we saw see lions, iguanas, crabs, birds, fish, etc. The hotel is surrounded by some mangroves, which is lovely, and we refilled our water bottles there. The location is perfect, right next to the Darwin station and the beginning of the town. The Almar restaurant next to it is great and the food is delicious. I highly recommend the hotel!

Great location and a lovely hotel on the ocean ! We were delighted to see the sea lions iguanas pelicans baby sharks crabs there daily

Restaurant Almar was right outside my bedroom window but, to be honest, noise stopped around 11pm.

Quirky, quiet during the day. Loved the shady deck where you could sit and watch the wildlife.

That we had to leave and continue on our journey.

Spoiled. Totally spoiled by Blu Galapagos. Everything was over the top perfection. The hotel is on the waterfront near the Charles Darwin Research Center and just enough on the edge of town that you feel isolated yet still within a five minute walk to the heart of this sweet port town. We stayed in the Darwin Suite which is primo for celebrating a loved one or yourself. I’ll be back for sure.

Breakfast was average. When there weren’t enough guests, breakfast was pre-cooked. This was cold and not very good.

Great location. Fabulous room. Great check in with friendly staff. Comfortable communal area and guest facilities. Free water and coffee. Loved the sea lions, iguanas, pelicans.

Breakfast was fabulous!

Stayed in February 2024

Having restaurant separately owned to hotel. As a resident, Would have like to have had access to the main restaurant decking in the mornings - the breakfast area was very small . Would have liked to be able to have had breakfast on the main decking in the restaurant . Also A bigger outside lounge area would be good - with a couple of sun loungers available !

Fantastic location & away from town centre so very quiet . Easy , quick walk into town . Loved having the turtles & iguanas & seals & pelicans everywhere we looked . Spacious room overlooking the bay . Friendly & helpful staff. Excellent restaurant . Coffee & drinks available 24 hrs per day .

The location was fantastic - when the tide comes in, you can sit at the restaurant/breakfast area and watch the variety of sea life swimming towards you. We saw sharks, turtles, stingrays, fish, sealions swimming around, and then watched blue footed boobies diving for fish, and pelicans too! it was magical!

The breakfast could have been better. It's separate from the restaurant itself and we learned that it's coming from an entirely different kitchen. It's open from 6:30-9:30, which is nice since a lot of tours start early. But, we're not sure how often the food was replenished, as it was often cold. The selection was also limited, every day serving a different version of eggs, meat, bread, fruit, coffee and juice. The juice was delicious though, often fresh pressed!

We choose to stay in one of the rooms with a sea view for four wonderful nights, and it was absolutely worth it as we were able to observe the sea lions, pelicans and crabs in the bay, at all times of the day. The shower had hot water and the bed was large and comfortable, both perfect after a long day of exploring. The staff were very helpful - laundry services taking only a few hours. There's a little store on site for convenience, and the restaurant downstairs was very good - we ate there twice! You could also rent bikes for free, which was a nice perk! We also really enjoyed the location. The hotel sits towards the end of the main strip in town, close to many restaurants, bars and shopping and an easy walk to the bus stop and the pier for water taxis and tours (about a 12 minute walk)!
