Guest Reviews
- Naomi (8/5): -
- Jose (10/5): The perfect Galapagos stay - Outstanding waterfront, hotel in the perfect location. Close to pier, restaurants, and shopping. Sunrise from the balcony was beautiful each morning.
- Reyna (10/5): Beautiful - The pool and the beautiful view
- Tim (10/5): - Great property in the heart of town.
- Teo (10/5): Exceptional -
- CHRISTIAN (10/5): - Todo fue muy agradable
- Manuel A (8/5): - Location was great. Room had a balcony facing the ocean. Pool and restaurant had views of the sea. Breakfast buffet was good. The hot water in the room was sketchy, not always available. Pool filter was not working, water was cloudy.
- Mike (9/5): Superb - Room upgrade, the staff are the most helpful and friendly. Didn't care to use the pool after the sea lion and her pup used it, but it was fun to watch them.
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were amazing. My luggage got lost by the airline and the staff here was amazing getting it brought from the airport after it was found by Copa airlines. The air conditioner in our room didn't cool. The fan worked so that helped a lot but we had to open our windows at night to lots of street noise.
- Orly (3/5): we were very disappointed! we paid 235$ per night and we expected a fine hotel and room. in the pictures the hotel looke - the Location of the hotel is right in the center the bathroom is very old the tips are rustic not clean enough and all the tiles on the floor of the room are dirty and sticky. the furnitures are old and some are not appropriate. the feeling is like in a hostel not 4 stars hotel. In addition we found another door connected to another room and we could hear everything that the people there were talking.
- Geovanni (7/5): Staff was very helpful and coutious, location was excellent and breakfast was divine, best coffee in the island. The ro - Location, breakfast, view were excellent. The room floor was humid all the time since the type of tiles contained humidity, very outdated. Ceiling had pieces out broken.
- Rosana (10/5): - The hotel was ideally located close to restaurants, port and entertainment.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Todo estuvo excelente !!! Recomiendo Hotel Solymar porque su estadia sera maravillosa.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Spectacular Views and Great Pool/Bar Area - The WiFi is spotty but the service is great. This hotel is expensive compared to the simpler ones that are further away from the water. Although, the location and view of the water is amazing.
- Alan Luis (8/5): Visita de Galapagos - Muy agradable el hotel. Galapagos muy bonito.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good view, good location, good hotel - プエルト・アヨラのメインストリートに位置。立地は最高。 施設設備としては申し分なし。スタッフもかなり対応は良い(日本語は不可)。 朝プールサイドでアシカも見ることができた。 1階はやや外の音が気になるときがあったのだが総合評価としては良い。
- Hing Leung Jeffrey (10/5): Very nice hotel - Nice hotel, all the rooms with sea view. The front desk guy is nice and helpful. Will stay there again for next trip.
- fernando (8/5): Muy buen hotel - Hotel muy bonito y excelentemente ubicado. Nos dieron un up grade a una habitación con vista al mar en el edificio principal. El único detalle negativo fue que el día domingo la piscina y toda el área exterior estaba copada por muchísimos niños (q no se alojaban en el hotel) que festejaban un cumpleaños. Por lo demás, todo 10 puntos.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Do Not Stay Here. - Of the two tours we booked with this hotel, one of them had its leave time changed from 8am to 6am less than 12 hours before the tour was to take place. Although we had the times in writing, they did not give us our tour as contracted. When we disputed the charge to our credit card company, the hotel manager lied about the circumstances, the same treatment we received when we were there. We met many people during our visit to the Galapagos, and they were appreciative of the other hotels where they stayed. I highly recommend bypassing this hotel in order to receive honest and gracious hospitality. If you have to stay here, try to get a room away from the street and away from the pool, as rooms facing these venues are really noisy.
- Viviana (10/5): Excelente servicio - Excelente servicio y atención de todo el personal, la habitación muy confortable, todas las habitaciones con vista al mar y a la piscina. Excelente el desayuno buffet y los platos a la carta. Nos recibieron con un coktel de bienvenida, fue una estadía encantadora.
- Andy (8/5): Good hotel - A good clean room, nice hotel facilities, no view but that was what unexpected when I booked
- Chris (6/5): Hotel Solymar Galapagas - Great location, nice outside bar area. Staff overall pleasant and helpful.
- Tamara (10/5): This place is beautiful - Upon arrival we spent a little extra money to get an ocean front room at Hotel Solymar across the street and it was worth every penny! The hotel is beautiful, with fabulous world-class food, excellent service and the most beautiful location ever. The staff is excellent and very friendly. Our room was very nice with an ocean-front balcony where we could watch the boats and wildlife, including a sea lion lounging in the swimming pool! Can't recomment Hotel Solymar enough. A wonderful experience!
- Danielle (10/5): Great - Fantastic hotel and location.
- Teodoro Mendoza (10/5): This hotel rescue people that needed to relax. - Close to everything, they also upgraded my room, the bar with the hammocks, and the hotel sitting at the edge of the sea is just soooooooo perfect for me. The staff and especially the night time receptionist was so helpful and friendly. If you are going to Santa Cruz island and wanted a suitable hotel, this hotel has everything you want and more. Tortuga Bay (beach) is walkable from this hotel. You would not regret booking this hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Expedia dropped the ball, seriously! - I made all reservations through Expedia and they allowed my first night in hotel to be cancelled. When the hotel notified me I immediately called Expedia and they did nothing, on the phone for 2 hours with Expedia, and they did nothing to remedy their mistake. I called the hotel in Ecuador myself, to reinstate the first night of our stay. It cost me a lot of frustration, a lot of time, and the expenses of overseas calls, but I got it done. Hotel was excellent, but Expedia took no action to remedy their mistake and did nothing, NOTHING to help us.
- Bob (8/5): Beautiful location, great service - Been to the island 5 times and stayed here on two different trips to Galapagos. Great service and location. They upgraded my room from the Isla Sol to the Hotel Sol y Mar with an ocean view room. I forgot my snorkeling equipment. They shipped it overnight free of charge and it was waiting for me in QUITO. How TAME cargo charges $2.61 for overnight service from Galapagos to Quito is unbelievable! DON'T swim in the pool though...its really just for the Sea Lions and the birds..its fun to watch BUT VERY UNHEALTHY WATER!
