The staff of the hotel dont speak english at all .
Very bad comunication with Front Desk, , it was a bit pricey for a basic Hotel.
The recepcion was not welcoming!

The hotel is very clean and cozy; no bugs, excellent staff. The rooms had good a/c, great view, complimentary wireless internet, complimentary breakfast; no TV which is a plus. The view was excellent, lots of iguanas, seals, crabs and blue footies. The pool was inviting, but it has salt water, would have been nice if it was fresh water but we understand that this is a problem on the island.

stayed here for a couple of nights, loved it.
the place is clean, relaxed, staff are friendly and willing to help in any awy possible, good water views from your rooms.
we loved the wild pelicans, iguanas, herons, crabs and sealions that just visited as they pleased, as you lazed around the pool or spa.
we went for a swim in the sea at the back of the hotel. just amazing fun.
food was great also.

We were looking forward to the Galapagos Islands. We ended up having a wonderful time at the hotel Solymar ! The view from the upper corner room we had was spectacular! Renalto gives a show each week throwing fish to the birds, sea lions, herons, and the other 60 or so guests that arrive from the island and sea. The breakfast turns into a show as you eat and look out at sea lions and birds having their own breakfast in the water right outside the restaurant.
Ths staff are very accomadating trying as hard as possible to help in any way. We sometimes had food that was different from the menu and it was fantastic! We often traveled back across the island just to eat at the hotel.
You can pay less to stay inland away from the water, but after spending $1,000 a couple to just land on Santa Cruz island with airfare and entry fee, you will make a big mistake not to stay at the best place on the island given location, food and friendliness.
