    Great location, close to the ferry dock and Tortuga Bay trail. Spacious and clean room. Friendly and helpful staff, even though English was limited.

    Limited breakfast options, food constantly running out. A bit expensive compared to other options on the island.

    I recently stayed at Hotel Santa Fe in the Galapagos Islands for 10 days and had a fantastic time. The hotel's layout was great, with spacious rooms and a balcony overlooking the pool. Its location was perfect - close enough to the main part of town, yet peaceful and quiet. I especially loved how convenient it was to access Tortuga Bay. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

    Excellent location, close to Tortuga Bay and downtown, without any noise. The room was very nice and clean, with daily cleaning services. The air conditioning worked well. The breakfast, although not a buffet, was good with a variety of options. highly recommended place to stay.

    The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to lots of good restaurants. It's also close to turtle beach and very close to downtown, making it easy to explore the area without any noise from the city. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are nice. The service is friendly and helpful, as seen by the receptionist offering assistance with bank wire transfers and laundry. The breakfast is good, with options like eggs, coffee, bread, cheese, sausage. The outdoor swimming pool is a refreshing feature, and they even provide free snorkeling equipment.

    There is no telephone in the room, which means no option to communicate with the reception without going to the desk.

    We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Santa Fe for 3 nights, celebrating a friend's birthday. The junior suite was beautiful and the staff were incredibly friendly. They even surprised our friend with a personalized complimentary gift! The hotel had great dining and drink recommendations, and the mini bar in the suite was included with free tea and coffee by the pool. The breakfast was delicious and the hotel staff were very helpful. We also appreciated the daily room cleaning and fresh towels, as well as the convenient location near the main streets and restaurants.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room and ideal bathroom. Great pool for a dip. Free coffee and biscuits on the terrace. Nice and peaceful location not far from town. Fantastic restaurant nearby.

    Couldn't fault.

    The breakfast was okay and included some complimentary drinks. The location was great, close to many restaurants and main tourist sites. The pool area was a nice place to relax, especially during the hot afternoons.

    The room was small and basic for the price. The staff wasn't very friendly or helpful, and there was a lack of basic amenities like beach towels.

    This place is fantastic! We had a wonderful stay here. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the city center with plenty of great restaurants. The service was impeccable, with room service and housekeeping taking excellent care of us. We loved the convenience of the grocery shopping service and the shops/commercial services nearby. The laundry service was reasonably priced, and the airport shuttle made our arrival and departure a breeze. We were welcomed with a delicious drink and the staff was always available to assist with tours and tickets. The room amenities were top-notch, with everything we needed including ironing facilities, air conditioning, and a minibar. The sitting area and terrace were great for relaxing, and the garden furniture added a nice touch. The toiletries provided were high quality, and the flat-screen TV was a nice addition. The dining options were great, with in-room breakfast and a snack bar available. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The swimming pool was a refreshing oasis, and the outdoor sun terrace was a great place to soak up the sun. We also enjoyed the leisure and TV room, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The Wi-Fi worked well, and the luggage storage was convenient. we highly recommend this hotel to everyone!

    This place is absolutely amazing!

    Great location close to town center and Tortuga Bay entrance, modern rooms with AC and fridge, and pool for relaxation. The half-day transfer + tour of the highlands is highly recommended and the day tours to nearby islands make the experience hassle-free.

    Basic breakfast with ants on bananas and shower in our room overflowed and flooded the bedroom. Despite the cleanliness and friendly staff, the basic breakfast and shower issues suggest that it might not be worth the price.

    We loved the hotel's prime location, just a short walk away from the bustling main street but still tucked away on a peaceful and quiet street. It was the perfect balance. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a lovely pool courtyard that provided a relaxing oasis. Plus, the breakfast was excellent, with a variety of hot cooked options, including eggs made to order. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great suggestions for tours and always ready to assist us with any questions or tasks.

    Nothing to dislike.

    The hotel had a great location, with easy access to important sites in the area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. We really enjoyed the free wifi, which was surprisingly fast for such a remote location. the free coffee and tea in the lobby was a nice touch.

    Our Easter stay was hampered by construction noise from early in the morning. We also found that the prices for tours offered by the hotel were much higher than others in the area.

    Located in a peaceful area with great restaurant options within walking distance, this hotel stands out from the many basic hostels on the various islands in the Galapagos. The rooms are spotless and the shower is fantastic, with all the amenities you would expect from a quality hotel. The breakfast is delicious and filling, giving you a great start to your day. With friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere, this hotel is a perfect choice for anyone wanting comfort and style in a unique location.

    The WiFi is slow, though this is a common issue in the Galapagos, and should not detract from an otherwise great stay.

    Cleanliness, hotel facilities, location close to Parque San Francisco, Charles Darwin street, and the breathtaking Tortuga Bay. We enjoyed the excellent breakfast with cooked-to-order eggs. The pool courtyard was lovely and provided a nice place to cool off at the end of the day. The hotel is conveniently located, just a 5-minute walk from the main street, so we were close to everything without being in the noisy hubbub.

    Nothing, it is perfect.
