Amazing place straight by the sea. Lovely staff and a perfect location for exploring Galapagos.

Absolutely beautiful beachfront hotel! Buffet breakfast is quite good as well and hotel staff is extremely helpful!
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful hotel. Our room was incredible. We stayed in Darwin. But there was no hot water for 2/3 of our stay. All we were able to get out of them was a free breakfast one day. I would have expected a significant discount given this lacking amenity
Wasseem, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and lovely Eco Lodge!

Our stay was amazing and the place is lovely! We arrived in Santa Cruz on our first day and spent a night at Blu Galapagos and on our last day, spent our final night there. Our second night we asked for an upgrade with an ocean view and it was absolutely beautiful. The restaurant that is not associated with hotel, but is on location was one of the best meals we had on our trip and the view is right on the water and you can see sharks and raise and fish swimming while dining. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely return there.

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed our stay at Blu Galápagos it was very easily accessible within walking distance of many delightful places to eat. The breakfast area is located overlooking the water so we enjoyed having breakfast next to sea lions and other local wildlife. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a return place to stay.

Property was absolutely beautiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only issue that we found was that you couple hear inside your room when people were talking outside.

Very good property, Yelena went the extra mile preparing a birthday surprise. The experience was fantastic. All the staff very friendly. Daniel from the restaurant went the extra mile with the presentation of the menu. Housekeeping was great.

Kanishka, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The resort is beautiful and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We ate at the restaurant a couple of evenings and the food was delicious! The breakfast wasn't included in our rate (and was $30 each to add), but there are great restuarants very close to the resort. Would definitely return!

branden, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great property with big open rooms. Air conditioning was highly reliable and comfortable. Breakfast was expensive at $25USD for a very small and mediocre buffet. Staff was not super helpful or overly welcoming - just ok.
Laura, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The name lives up to the experience

My stay exceeded my expectations. The ambiance says Galapagos. Natural, lovely comfy, intimate. The staff treated me like family. Nothing was too much to ask. Did i mention it's right on the cove so breakfast is with the sea lions, Galapagos marine iguanas, brightly colored crabs - you get the picture. Already planner my next stay.
lucy, 7-night trip

Overpriced for the things you get!
Sandeep, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous!

Excellent service! Beautiful location...right on the water with a lovely deck and restaurant just a short walk to other restaurants and shops and easy to get a taxi anywhere else. Make sure to have the staff schedule your taxi to the airport - you can have the driver accompany you on the ferry and bus and help with your bags all the way to the airport - definitely worth it!
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was in a great spot. Lots of wild life right there at your feet. Very unique, makes you feel like your in a tree house! We reserved a room with a balcony and it did not have one; we still got the ocean view though. Restaurant had great food and service was exceptional.
