    A small pool would have been nice but considering they people come to the Galapagos for tours etc it wasn’t a major issue.

    Beautiful waterfront location made the necessity to take a water taxi acceptable and almost fun. Staff was terrific. Especially Ennio, the manager, was extremely helpful and accommodating, even brought us personally to a meeting point for a tour.

    Wow, the entire team of employees make it a well-run Inn, built from a great collection of 1st family homes in a compound that is second to none within the Galapagos. Incredible accommodations in the Orion room with fantastic views of Porta Ayora harbor. Loved having an included breakfast with the little Finch birdies. I could’ve stayed for months and never miss the world outside of the Galapagos.

    Excellent first 3 nights in Galapagos - Loved the wildlife we could see from the restaurant!

    We loved so many things about Hotel Angermeyer! The staff was always present, very helpful and friendly. The quadruple room was perfect for us. It was big enough (one huge king bed and two twins) for us parents and our two young-adult children & our stuff. The hotel provided two pitchers of water a day (for drinking and brushing teeth) and they will refill anytime at the bar which is so convenient since you can't drink the faucet water at any Galapagos accommodations. Our favorite part of Hotel Angermeyer was the view and wildlife from the restaurant and dock. Breakfast was really good, but we more enjoyed seeing sea lions, sharks, crabs, rays & more in the water just below us and we also enjoyed the birds: pelicans, Darwin's finches, Galapagos mockingbirds & lava herons we saw from the property. Our most regular entertainment while enjoying food & yummy drinks was watching the very patient lava heron on the rope to the dock (can see him on rope in attached picture). We cheered when he finally dove in and caught a fish. Hotel Angermeyer was an excellent home base for our daily excursions (Santa Fe Island snorkeling with sea lions, Highland Tour & Tortuga Bay). Easy to grab a water taxi for the short ride to town for these day trips, shops & restaurants. Other info: If arriving by plane from mainland, you'll need $100 in cash for each person to get into Galapagos Island (park fee). Then, take a bus ($5 per person) to a ferry ($1 per person) to a taxi (plenty there - $25 total) to the pier where you'll catch a water taxi ($1 per person) to Hotel Angermeyer. Bring lots of cash with lots of smaller bills (5's & 1's). Angermeyer takes cards for room, food & drinks, but you'll still need cash for lots of things. Something we went back and forth on before we came: full wetsuit or shortie - definitely go with the full wetsuit in late May! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Angermeyer!

    We had breakfast included with our reservations. Breakfast was fresh and we had multiple options to choose from. The locations of the hotel required use of a water taxi but it only cost $1 and runs continuously. Everything about his hotel met my family's expectations.

    We requested a seaview room for 3 ladies staying toghether. The Tropic Bird room with the extra bed was very spacious, with it's own balcony. A very convenient location with it's own dock, so very easy to get a water taxi ($1) into town. Roof top viewing, so we could wave off our intrepid sailors. Dining room right on the water, breakfast was delicious with at least 3 varied choices. Evening meal was also delicious. An easy walk to La Crevitas. The Finch Bay Resort and small beach is a 5 min walk. The Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Who also organized our assisted transfer to the airport.

    Liked everything!

    We were so glad we booked this hotel. It was absolutely stunning. We were in the Southern Cross room at the top of the hotel, and it was gorgeous. Views on two sides of the harbour/sea/town, spacious and everything you need. The restaurant next to the water was really lovely, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend splashing out for the best rooms.

    Awesome location and amazing staff. From our server, Coral, who was great and so very kind to our concierge who was most friendly and extremely helpful, he arranged for our airport transportation and was on top of everything to make sure we were well accomodated. Also, our driver from the airport, Tobirio, was very nice and attentive. The food served by the restaurant was one of the best in the island, nice quality and so fresh, same goes for the drinks. I loved the location because you can only get there by a short boat ride which gives you a nice separation from the busy island.

    See above

    The location was as good as it gets. The staff was amazing. The food was great. The breakfasts were "OK". The biggest drawback was the internet. It was basically useless. We were told that it is the same all over the Galapagos. However, we did find a hotel that the internet was consistently excellent. If wifi is not important this is a great choice.

    Absolutely loved this hotel, from catching a water taxi to their own pier, to allowing a free late checkout and with a room and restaurant both with water views. It felt like an experience and a world away from the main town (although it’s only a couple of mins in a water taxi).

    The bathrooms are a little small and dated, a few cracked tiles etc.

    The restaurant patio is stunning - so beautiful to sit by the water and watch the boats in the harbour and the frigate birds overhead. There's a short walk to a quiet cove beach with great swimming. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although the bathrooms are a bit dated. The staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay, I highly recommend the hotel.
