My stay at Finch Bay was a wonderful experience! The service was exceptional, with attentive staff making us feel right at home. The facilities were clean and inviting, including a beautiful swimming pool with stunning views. While the rooms were a bit small for a luxury hotel, they were still comfortable. The location, being accessible by a private water taxi, made exploring the Galapagos very convenient. Overall, it was a great value for money, although the weather was a bit rainy during our stay.

Finch Bay is a sanctuary where luxury meets the wonders of nature. From the charming wildlife around the property to the exceptional management and staff, my stay felt truly special. The dining was memorable, especially the evening meals, but the smaller room size was a letdown given the price. However, the serene setting and direct beach access made every moment worthwhile.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The beachfront location offered a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Puerto Ayora, while the eco-friendly aspects add a thoughtful touch. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my family's comfort, truly making us feel like family. On the downside, I did find the dining options could be improved in terms of variety, and the wifi connection was occasionally spotty during our stay, which was a little frustrating. Overall, it's a wonderful place to relax and connect with nature!
