Decepcionante
Servicio de internet es pésimo. El desayuno muy pobre y básico. Precio de la habitación no corresponde a la realidad. Piscina y yacuzzi feos y sucios. No es ni mucho menos lo que se ve en las fotos del hotel.

Stunning hotel on the waterfront, sea lions in the lobby, birds everywhere, lovely pool and wonderful staff. Food and drinks were delicious at the restaurant and more dining choices were nearby. Best hotel on Santa Cruz, I think, and owned by the cousin of our Galapagos guide, long-time locals. Highly recommend.

When it comes to the Hotel Solymar, the location and harbor deck can not be beat. As for the rooms, they need work. Please be advised my wife and I were NOT looking for 5 star treatment, but what were were looking for was just a clean room. Having traveled the night before, what I desperately wanted (needed) was a nice shower. From the time I took my shower until the time I walked to the bed, my feet were more dirty than when I arrived. Spoke to the front desk where we received a big "sorry". Nice hotel, just make sure to ware your flip-flops

Overall great stay
For the price we paid, expected better condition of room. Little more dated than expected but i guess we were paying for the location. The patio and pool area overlooked the ocean/bay where youll have frequent marine visitors like eagle ray, sea lions and turtles. The receptionists there were great too. Would stay again for location and service. But bit pricey I'd say.

Amazing property, excellent room and staff very friendly. Gave us helpful tips for dining and tours. Morning breakfast is a plus! Very safe area; can walk at night after dinner with no worries.

Excellent staff service and location. They even have a resident sea lion that swims in the pool! Beds were a bit on the hard side though but a wonderful stay overall.

A magical stay in Puerto Ayora
This hotel has to be one of the best in puerto agora in terms of location. It is on the waterfront and right in the heart of puerto agora with great eateries surrounding it. The room was generous and comfortable and had a private balcony which overlooked the deck and ocean. The highlight of the trip was definitely the resident seals that joined me for a swim in the pool and would often come up from the ocean to sleep on the deck! I would highly recommend this hotel
Megan, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

It is by the ocean but still overpriced. The rooms are super tiny no as advertised. The breakfast is horrible, the lowest quality food. The worse experience hotel ever.

Muy bien sobre todo su personal de una atención excelente todos, las chicas de recepción y los sres y sras que atienden el bar y el restaurant muy amables y eficaces en su trabajo, linda ubicación inmejorable, pero creo deben renovar los baños sobre todo el piso y el area y griferia obsoleta si funciona pero no es muy agradable a la vista este es un comentario constructivo .

Great hotel and location
Very helpful and welcoming staff. All rooms face Academy Bay with great views. They even held a bag for us while we were on a live-aboard for a week, before our stay at Solymar. Wendy the sea lion was a welcome distraction when she visited, but I wish the bar staff had stopped guests from harassing her, cornering her on the patio, and chasing her to the stairs where she made a get away. People brought over lounge chair cushions and delicious capairinas that were well worth the 2 for 1 price, but be warned that the price goes up $1 during happy hour. The location on the main street between the pier and the Darwin Institute is ideal, and only a couple streets from Los Kioskos food vendor street. We stayed here and at another more expensive, Red Mangrove, and enjoyed Solymar much more.

Hotel Solymar - Great Location, Staff, and more...
The only thing that bothered us was being put in a room at the end of the hall across from the breakfast area. You couldn't open your blinds or people could see in while they were eating breakfast. The kitchen staff would wake us when setting up at 6:00 am. Other than that - great hotel, location, service, and staff.

Room door
They try to keep open the French window each room, that is good for ecology, I understand. However, thre is a problem , when the door closing, make so noise. I was disturbed my sleeping in the morning from another rooms door. Bang Bang... They should put a door closer at least.

Buena opción para Puerto Ayora
Buena opción en Puerto Ayora, la mejor ubicación; quizás un poco costoso para los servicios que dispone el hotel y el desayuno podría ser mejor. El personal super amable; las habitaciones rústicas pero con lo necesario.
