Lois
When we arrived for check in, we we’re greeted by Oscar. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable. He suggested restaurants and arranged taxis and tours for us. Our room was very clean and spacious. Towels were provided for the pool and beach. Breakfast was served made to order and hot. The hotel is a 30 min walk to town or a 5 min taxi drive.
Michael
Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Price was very reasonable. Pool was great.

Beautiful room. Comfortable balcony. Wonderful staff. Fresh breakfast. Very clean hotel.
Marco
Staff very cortegeus
Sandra
The staff were helpful, friendly and caring. Breakfast was just right, we definitely made use of that amenity. The rooms were very basic but must say very clean with good enough space for our family.
Foo
We are extending our stay by one day. Excellent hotel if you are prepared for the 25 minute walk to the dock Charles Darwin Ave. It is USD2 per taxi otherwise.

Pros
1. Clean room
2. Excellent and friendly staff
3. Simple but freshly prepared lovely breakfast
4. Spacious and comfortable room- well priced
What could be improved
1. The contact number listed was incorrect and Expedia hides the phone number and email the property sent via message. The front desk closes at 6 pm so if you come in after those hours it's impossible to contact the property to make arrangements ahead of time. The number mentioned on the listing was wrong and we kept calling this lady before we finally realized it was a wrong number
2. The air conditioner in the master bedroom of the two bed room unit was not working. It was hot. The staff were not able to fix it. It appears that another two bed room unit was available for booking on Expedia but it was not offered.
3. Property was a 10 minute drive from the city center and involved getting a taxi every time. We stayed only for one night because our lovely Airbnb was not available on the night of our arrival, and moved closer the next day so it was not a big issue for us. Getting a taxi to go downtown was not easy especially late evening (for dinner) but getting one to come back was quick.
Overall, the pros of this place significant out weigh the negatives and we would not hesitate to stay here again, especially as a bridge for a night. The friendly staff, clean room and amenities were all things we enjoyed.

Paul
Booked superior double king bed, at check-in the guy went to get the key for the correct room (we’ve stayed before and know the room types) but the were no keys left for that room type so gave us a deluxe double with queen, pretty much half the size. I pointed this out but he just said that’s what Expedia had reserved so argue with them. Expedia no help either.
Paul
It’s all about cost versus location . Hotel is clean and comfy with pool, games room, decent rooms and good aircon and hot water, but it’s a 20 minute walk down to the port. We did it twice and it’s absolutely fine, and taxis are $2 flat fare, so not expensive, but you are away from the action. Which is why it’s so much cheaper than the similar hotels in town.
Devlin
Nice hotel and room with friendly staff. location out of town so $2 taxi each time. Not a deal breaker by any means for the quality and price.
Sasikaran
Friendly staff, very nice service, clean room, different fresh made breakfast every day. Hotel itself was very good and worth the stay even though it was in a bit of outskirt of the main town.
For VIP access we meant to receive free airport transfer and room upgrade if available but didn’t receive it. Hotels.com displayed incorrect information and the hotel itself couldn’t assist with that.

Great 2-bed room with 2 bathrooms .. perfect for our family of 4 especially with early starts every day. Their staff was kind enough to pack us a breakfast each day too. The hotel is a good 30 min walk from the main downtown area so you will need a cab to move around.
Gustavo
Pool needs a ladder on the deep side
Maribel
To start…I was offered free round trip from airport to hotel and hotel to airport. Hotel failed to transfer me from the airport to the hotel. The hotel just said they will pay $5 for the bus. I wasn’t told I had to take a bus from the airport, a ferry to cross the channel and another bus to take me to town. Someone sent me vague directions and I almost got stranded at the pier. So, I had to take a taxi to take me to the hotel. However, when I asked for the $30 for the taxi fare, the hotel person, Christopher, who I was communicating with earlier, went silent and I never heard from him for the whole duration of my stay. He sent $20 for the whole ordeal including my return.
Advertisement says, property has access to beach. BIG LIE! Only a taxi will take you to the beach because it’s way too far. Also NO RESTAURANT. Breakfast is limited, juice mixed with water, tea, instant coffee, no cream or milk. A ridiculously small bowl of fruit, 2 warm slices of bread, NO REALLY TOASTED, some drinkable yogurt, and 1-2 eggs. Nothing around the hotel, no bars, no restaurants, too far from downtown, no beach nearby.
Front desk goes dark after 6-7pm. Nobody can help you after that if there’s any problem.
The sink faucet water flow was just drops of water.
On my last day, it was a power outage and no water. I had to brush my teeth and rinse with my own bottled water.

Considerando que você não vai à Galapagos para curtir o hotel e sim os passeios e as belezas naturais, o hotel tem ótima relação custo x benefício. Fica um pouco mais afastado do centrinho de Puerto Ayora mas 2 dólares de taxi não é um problema
Oly
Room was clean but had no spare plugs room 12, hotel is very basic. The breakfast is served between 7am and 8.30am. It's very noisy as on the main road and scooters and trucks are up and about at 6am and there is a cockerel next door that crows early too.

Hotel Manager has to go.

The hotel offered jacussy but the jacussy never was on. If We asked for it we need to wait two hours to be hot.
The \"clean\" towels smell like popcorn.
For me they give us dirty towels.

Beautiful and spacious family room. Good breakfast and the staff is courteous. I highly recommend this hotel.
Marien Segura
This place promises things that it does not fulfill, it offered me round-trip transportation and when I sent them the email with my data to coordinate the shuttle, they simply told me that they were not going to do it, I asked for an answer, talking to the administrator, it was never possible, the place where the hotel is located is in the middle of nowhere. I attach photos so that what happened to me does not happen to them
SONNIA
I only leave a 4 star review because I stayed for 5 days and the breakfasts were boring. Every day they offered the same thing, eggs, toast, or pancakes, cereal and strawberry yogurt. They don’t have a restaurant in the hotel and everything is far away. After the second day I was bored with the breakfast and started buying croissants next door in the bodega to have it with my coffee. The bodega next door to the hotel sells water, beers, drinks and ice creams. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Just a thought maybe the manager could buy “fresh bread” from the bakery the bodega was charging .25 cents per bread it’s probably cheaper to buy in bulk. Also an omelette would be better than fried eggs every day!
JIANYI
The hotel and the room was clean. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was very good. This hotel is not located in the town so you need to take a taxi to restaurant , shopping, and other activities
Sharon
Spotlessly clean. Hairdryer in bathroom comfortable bed.
Breakfast was excellent. Nice swimming pool. Cab ride into town $2 or a half hour walk.

Great hotel with a long to the beach
Extremely comfortable beds and very nice staff! The room is well appointed and the ping pong table is a nice addition that we've enjoyed using. It is 2km from the beach so it's a 15min walk each way.. Which in the hot sun seems like a long time even if you are very fit. However it's much cheaper due to its location so it's great value for a long walk..
Yvonne
Only there for a night but was comfortable and had no problems
Maria Clara
About a 20 minute walk from downtown, has a couple mini markets right next to it. Nice pool, morning breakfast and quiet rooms.
Diego
The stay in El descanso del guía was excellent due to Oscar’s help and attention ! He really made the différence! Thanks Oscar for your help in Galapagos !! It was a pleasure to meet you!
Billie- jo
Great hotel for family to use as home base for land based Galapagos visit. The rooms are very clean and modern - comfortable beds and cleaning service each day.
Breakfast is provided and made fresh everyday which is nice if you are heading out on your.
Pool area is very well maintained and a nice amenity from the heat of the islands!
Staff very prompt and helpful.
It is a bit far from town and restaurants - not really walkable due to hills and heat) but taxis are very affordable ($2 each way). Some street noise but I think that is hard to avoid in the town.
Overall would recommend as a great option.

Very nice, more modern property with pool, but in an area a little further away from most dining, shopping, and water options. Pool looked very nice but did not use. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially in arranging taxis.
The VIP amenities mentioned free roundtrip transfer from the airport for two. I only needed it one way for one, but when I asked to arrange it for my departure, I was offered $5 to go down to the bus stop to buy a ticket. That's not what a transfer is. The language should be more specific.

Hotel was great. Good room with a view, solid breakfast included. I would deduct one star for the location as it is about a 15 minute walk to town. Super shout out to Oscar, who is amazing. Great English skills (which are in short supply in Ecuador) who helped to book several tours and arrange cab rides and even laundry
Yesenia
I have stayed here twice while visiting Galapagos. It is not located in the main shopping/ dining area but they get you a taxi which only costs about $2. I especially appreciated Roland who took care of all our tours and checked on us to make sure all was well with our excursions.
Lana
The property was great! The room was spacious and modern. The property was very clean and comfortable. The staff were super attentive! The breakfast included eggs to order, carb (toast, pancakes, or cheese empanada), small fruit, and some juice. There was also coffee, tea, hot cocoa. The hotel isabout 20 min walk or few minutes taxi ride ($1.50) from the main area. It was nice as it was much quiter, other than some animals (chickens, dogs, etc) making noises. The hotel does not have a restaurant on site. There is a convenience store next door which also sells alcohol (wine, beer, liquor). The hotel has a nice pool, jacuzzi, and a small exercise room.
Christian
Nice big and new rooms.
Boris
Staff is super friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is surrounded by not so nice areas and it can get loud first thing in the morning from the traffic. The building is open concept and there is lots of natural light and fresh air. The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk to the downtown area and although you walk through very sketchy-looking streets, it is very safe.
Sheilah
Staff was excellent. Good breakfast. Excellent room with very comfortable bed.
Oscar was so helpful to us

Clean, comfortable, good breakfast
This hotel is in a quiet residential area away from the town; it's about a 15-20 minute walk downhill to reach restaurants and shops in the town (or $1.50 in a taxi). I highly recommend dinner at Dimati - good Italian food and lovely staff. The hotel is clean and comfortable, and breakfast is great with some variety across the days. The jacuzzi is only available for a couple of hours in the evenings... ecofriendly :-) Oscar was very helpful and speaks good English.
Dipak
People are nice. Place is noisy.
Carlos
After you cross the ocean the cheapest way to get to the hotel is, buy a bus ticket to take you to bus terminal, hotel is 5 minutes walk.
Location of hotel is on a hill with a terrace and great view of the island
Mr. Oscar Ramirez as a welcome host and his service, fantastic.
Rest of staff like breakfast cook and server/s great also.
Pool facilities and spa pool great
Overall for such a great low accommodation rate, I felt like I was in a five star hotel/resort
Finally, to waterfront a fifteen minutes walk or a cheap taxi ride.
At waterfront you have already live SEALS and IGUANAS waiting for you to take pictures.
For everyone please be careful, each person has to pay a very expensive entrance fee to Galapagos at airport of Quito or Guayaquil then another fee when you enter Baltra Island, which is horrible way expensive.

Nice little small spot. A bit away from the center.
Dominic
Great time , Oscar was the best!!!
Yesenia
Enjoyed our time in Galapagos by staying at this place with a great breakfast and wonderful hospitality. Ronald was great helping us organize all our tours and taxi needs. It’s not quite walking distance to the main area but taxi is only $1.50-$2 and the hotel can help you get a taxi right away.
Rajiv
Our large group found the hotel quite comfortable. Only a few minutes ride away from central downtown so area is more quiet. Easy to get taxi.
Reyna
Property is clean and well maintained, l liked the kind staff service specially Angel, who was always friendly and ready to help.
I didn't like the noisy specially in the early morning because the breakfast set up and the cars passing by the hotel.
Our last afternoon at the hotel we couldn't use the hot tub since it was supposedly under maintenance or at least that's what the front desk agent told me in addition to other excuses, I wonder if that was just a bit of laziness, either way it was a bit disappointing.
I didn't receive any benefit as Expedia Gold member, at the end of my stay l requested a late check out, once again the same front desk agent asked me for proof that I was a Gold member and the benefit I have, I had to log into my Expedia account and show him so he would believe me.
Once more disappointed.
It needs to improve.

Excellent hotel! The staff is incredible. Such wonderful young people running the hotel. The rooms are huge and spotlessly clean. The free breakfast was made to order eggs with juice, toast and coffee. I haven’t a single complaint about my stay.
Victor
Excellent hotel! The staff could not be any friendlier and the hotel is beautiful and sparkling clean. Large rooms, great air conditioning and nice hot showers. The only complaint…the hotel does not respond to messages sent through Expedia and they also never answer the phone. I was not able to schedule my free transportation from the airport because I couldn’t ever get a hold of anyone. The hotel clearly needs to update their contact information.
Julio
It was friendly
Aleks
Party started, very loud, and didn’t end until 730 am. Not much sleep. The room is very nice. Bedding and bed very nice. The room we booked was being serviced so they gave us a different room which was fine.
Barbara
Not recommended
The description of this hotel is totally inaccurate. There is no restaurant of deli on site. Also, when we booked it stated they provided airport transportation. We requested it multiple times and got the run around. Also, it is on a busy road with trucks and motorcycles going by all night.
Emily
Very nice stay
Staff is super friendly and attentive, rooms are nice with air conditioning, and yhe provided breakfast each day was nice. Even yhough its a but up grom the main tourist center its very essy to get there either a 15 minute walk or a 5 min taxi ride. The tacod have a set price so you dont have to worry about negotiating or being ripped off.
Serge
Excellent staff and very clean. Nice pool and breakfast was very good.
Jordon
Just awesome!
Stayed for six nights, can’t think of one really negative thing to say about this place or the great people that work there! It is a little ways out of town, but you never have to wait more than a couple minutes for a taxi ($2) either to or from the hotel.

Great olace
Very good, Oscar and his entire team were friendly, courteous and professional. Very nice location and experience.
Mike
The room was nice. The staff was great. Oscar and Angel were very helpful. They recommend restaurants and a tour with a taxi driver that turned out to be very good. They helped us with our bags. They made a great effort to communicate with us in English even though they had some limitations. They deserve an increase in their wages. The property is a little distance from the main strip. The $1.50 taxi ride is very cheap but it can be a problem when you start to run out of small bills.
LK
The hotel is good; Oscar Angel are great!
Eudoro Jorge
Very comfortable stay.
We got off on rough start. The number provided by hotels.com always sent straight to voicemail. I went online to find a way to contact the hotel for the included gold status airport transfer that was not given as they said they were unable to acomódate three days before arrival but they could send a taxi at normal cost of 25 usd. The hotel itself was very clean, great service at the front desk, very helpful. A little from the docks if you plan to walk but doable. .
Mark
Friendly staff, wonderful room and excellent breakfast
Tyler
We enjoyed our stay here, the staff made our time enjoyable as they were very friendly and helpful when booking taxis to where we needed to go, the room was as expected, breakfast in the morning was quick and easy so you could be on your way. No complaints at all, thank you to the staff at Hotel el Descanso del Guia for making our Galapagos visit a great one.
Marianela
The best thing about El Descanso del Guia is the staff. They were attentive and kind and very helpful. The hotel is on the outskirts of the town but it is very clean, has a pool and a great breakfast.

The property condition was decent but located on a busy road so you might need ear plugs or white noise (i.e. air conditioner running) to drown out the road noise at night to sleep. Breakfast is good and was served at a dining area near the pool, unfortunately the rooftop restaurant was closed for remodeling. If you're an Expedia VIP member expecting to receive VIP included perks like a free round trip airport shuttle, please note they did not honor that perk when requested in the original booking and closer to check in on both Expedia messaging and the hotel's own reservation system which they send you a link for asking you to access and provide information after booking. Though they sent a couple of template messages through Expedia they never responded on either site and upon arrival no shuttle was waiting (a taxi is $25 USD each way) which they claimed at check in was a misunderstanding but then prior to checkout when I reminded them of the free shuttle request back to the airport they claimed I would have had to email them directly in advance to request (I've re-reviewed everything and nothing actually stated an email was required) and offered me $10 USD instead which I did accept but that leaves $40 USD in shuttle perks they did not provide claiming I did not properly request them. That said, the employees on-site were otherwise friendly and helpful, in particular with calling taxis for guests whenever on demand which arrive promptly and only cost $2 USD to port Arroyo.

Overall this is a nice hotel. Rooms are small and bathroom was tiny. Several advertised amenities were not evident (BBQ grills, rooftop terrace). Staff is not bi-lingual as advertised. If you don’t speak Spanish communication can be challenging. However the staff DOES try very hard to understand what you need. Tour assistance though - was not really available, so “concierge” service is limited to calling for taxis. There was absolutely NO WiFi, they should not be advertising it at all. No laundry facilities - they will do laundry for a fee, but you cannot do your own. Continental breakfast is really “eat what we’re serving today”. Food was good - but choice is limited to non-existent. There is no snack bar/deli at all so I don’t understand why it’s advertised to have one. Also no poolside bar and no restaurant. Definitely no room service. The pool is nice - but it’s not heated and was pretty chilly.
Note this hotel is not near the pier or any restaurants, etc. Taxis are cheap, but being closer to town would be nicer. Also the area around this hotel is not nice at all. Unfinished construction projects that are now overgrown abound.
The staff is great-the hotel itself is nice, but it is not as advertised…..

Great staff
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with the staff. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that their commitment to excellent customer service was unwavering.
Every staff member I encountered was not only incredibly helpful but also genuinely polite. They went above and beyond to assist me with various tasks, ranging from scheduling tours to providing detailed explanations about the activities and attractions on the islands. Their extensive knowledge and willingness to share information made my trip even more enjoyable and stress-free.
The staff's dedication to ensuring that guests have a remarkable stay was evident throughout my time at the hotel. They took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, offering personalized recommendations that suited my interests. Their attentive nature and proactive approach truly set them apart.
I cannot emphasize enough how appreciative I am of the staff's efforts. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is commendable and undoubtedly made a positive impact on my overall experience. If you're looking for a hotel with exceptional staff who will go the extra mile to make your stay memorable, I highly recommend considering this establishment.
