10.0

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"

10.0

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..."

8.0

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"

8.0

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"

10.0

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.

"Oceanfront hotel in town"

8.0

Hotel SolyMar is centrally located in town, a short walk to restaurants and harbor, as well as Darwin research center and beach. The highlight for us was the oceanfront pool, which in addition to being a nice place for a dip, attracts all kinds of friendly wildlife. Herons and other birds, marine iguanas, and even a pair of sea lions show up to hang around the pool with you, which is a real kick to see up close. Only in Galapagos! The oceanfront rooms have a small balcony, which is a nice spot to watch the moonlight on the ocean at nite, but not very private.

"Galapagos delight!"

10.0

Close enough to nature? Sea Lions lazing on the deck, swimming in the pool, competing for your chaise lounge! Our room had a balcony overlooking the pool area in the foreground, ocean to the horizon - as far as the eye could see. To the left; the Charles Darwin Center a short walk. Best place to stay in Puerto Ayora!!

"Una estadía perfecta en Galápagos!!"

8.0

Nos alojamos en el Solymar mi esposo, mi hija adolescente y yo en marzo 2016. Todo estuvo perfecto. La ubicación inmejorable, frente al mar y en plena calle principal de Puerto Ayora, cerca de restaurantes, del malecón, de la estación científica Charles Darwin, tiendas, etc. El personal muy atento todo el tiempo. El desayuno estuvo muy variado. Las habitaciones aunque sin ser muy amplias (normal en Galápagos), son cómodas y todas tienen una terraza con vista al mar. Lo recomiendo completamente.
