Located in Puerto Ayora, 700 metres from Los Alemanes Beach and 1.3 km from La Estacion Beach, Posada del Mar provides garden views and free WiFi. It is situated 2.9 km from De Los Perros Beach and features luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. Breakfast was great, perfect quantity and variety. The staff was incredibly kind and offered us many options for more activities around the zone (last minute decisions) and they offered always an alternative in case we had difficulties. The bed was super big, enough for two people to enjoy their own space.

This rustic style ecolodge is located 15 minutes’ walk from the La Estación Beach in Puerto Ayora and 200 meters from the main street. The property offers free WiFi access and provides bikes to be rented. Victor and Aaron were incredible! They are perfect hosts and really go above and beyond what we could have expected (they took us to hospital, translated for us, and expected nothing for this - it was out of pure generosity!). The rooms were perfectly cleaned every day, and the towels were the comfiest we had in the Galápagos. There was free tea, coffee, water etc… and even free fresh bananas throughout our stay! There was gas cooking facilities, with sufficient crockery and cooking utensils. Victor and Aaron were also able to help us arrange tours, laundry, and had bikes and kayaks which could be rented. We also loved the decor/look of the hotel which Victor has sustainably and creatively build over the past 30 years - it is truly a work of art, and a must stay in the Galápagos!
