9.4/10 Exceptional! (140 reviews)
Overall a perfect 3 night stay after a 5 day busy (and amazing) Galapagos cruise! One of our rooms was kindly upgraded at check-in. We were greeted with delicious cool drinks and hot face towels, and very kind staff. Daily house keeping (with water replenishment) and very comfortable rooms with gorgeous views. The king bed was very comfortable in our suite, perhaps not as comfortable in our teens’ room but they did fine. Very quiet and peaceful, slept soundly. Always felt safe. Excellent breakfast choices and lovely staff. Also had lunch and dinner at Eloise. Watched sharks swim by at night, and during the day a seal slept on the restaurant patio between meal service. Water taxi to town was easy. Took a $5 taxi to Charles Darwin Center and walked back into town, stopping at 1835 restaurant for a delicious lunch. Spent time at the beach near Finch Bay and had one lunch at their swimming pool patio bar. Went to The Rock (Asian Fusion) for one dinner on the main drive. We ventured into some more local blocks one night but it was quite noisy with everyone playing loud music in their restaurants and pushing menus at you as you walked past. It was ok but we preferred the main road restaurant experiences.
