    Request a room near the pool for easy access to the view and proximity to Wendy the sea lion. It's a fun highlight during your stay.

    friendly staff
    yummy breakfast
    great location
    inconsistent wifi

    The location is superb—right in the heart of Charles Darwin Ave—making it easy to explore local shops and cafes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, with a delightful welcome drink upon arrival (who doesn’t love fresh juice? ). The breakfast spread was a treat, featuring a nice variety of options like scrambled eggs, fresh fruits, and tasty baked goods, all while enjoying views of playful sea lions around the pool.

    While the WiFi was a bit inconsistent at times, it barely detracted from the overall fun of our stay. It would be great if noise insulation could improve, as occasional sounds from neighboring rooms could be heard.

    after enjoying a warm welcome with fresh juice at check-in, we loved our short walks to nearby spots like the Malecón and Playa de los Alemanes, which were just a few steps away, perfect for our weekend exploration and relaxation.

    spectacular sunrise
    delicious breakfasts
    infinity pool
    thin walls
    noise disturbance

    One of the highlights of my stay was the view from our Double Room with Partial Sea View. Waking up to spectacular sunrises overlooking the bay was a dream come true. The delicious breakfasts changed daily with a variety of hot and cold options kept me energized for our adventures. The hotel’s infinity pool provided a perfect place to relax and soak in the sun between excursions.

    Walls were a bit thin.

    breathtaking view
    delicious pastries
    unreliable wifi
    thin walls
    hot tub wait

    The view from our Double Room with Partial Sea View was breathtaking, especially during sunrises. Breakfasts featured delicious Danish pastries and offered a great start to our days. While the infinity pool was a highlight for relaxation, it did take some time to heat the hot tub. Additionally, the WiFi was unreliable, making connectivity challenging at times. Although we enjoyed our stay, the thin walls affected our privacy significantly.

    fantastic views but thin walls

    The view from the Double Room with Partial Sea View truly stood out, especially waking up to stunning sunrises and watching wildlife like blue-footed boobies during breakfast. The infinity pool was another highlight. it provided a peaceful retreat after daily excursions. The breakfast selection may not have been extensive, yet the quality was top-notch and consistently delicious.

    While I enjoyed the wonderful views and amenities, the thin walls made it easy to hear noises from neighboring rooms.

    Couple's perfect getaway

    The sunrises from our balcony were something out of a dream, and we had marine iguanas visiting us often, made the stay feel alive. Can't forget Wendy, the sea lion, lounging by the pool, she brought so much joy to our mornings.

    It wasn’t inexpensive , but given the memories made, I’d say it was worth it.

    stunning sunrise
    marine iguanas
    serene vibe
    thin walls

    Waking up to the mesmerizing sunrises from the Double Room with Partial Sea View felt like stepping into a postcard. Watching marine iguanas lounge on the terrace while enjoying breakfast created a lively vibe, truly unique to this place.

    The thin walls meant I could catch every whisper from neighboring rooms—definitely influenced my sleep. The WiFi didn't perform too well, something pretty common in the area, which made staying connected a bit trickier than I'd hoped.
