El hotel es muy lindo y en general limpio y bien servicio. Sin embargo nos ofrecieron recogernos en el aeropuerto y no lo hicieron. Y hubo una noche completa y parte de la mañana sin agua ni luz

Amazing location overlooking the bay. We saw sea turtles, reef sharks, sea lions and lots of fish just sitting at the bar sipping cocktails. Breakfast is at the sister hotel across the road. The food served is from 2pm-10pm only (and also comes from across the street) and is cash only but very delicious (we had the meat and fish skewers). Only stayed one night before our cruise but would definitely stay there again if we were to return (and for longer than one night only).

This was our family's second trip to the Galapagos and we found the new Hotel Barranco online and took a chance as it didn't have many reviews. We had a wonderful stay! Everything is brand new, clean, and beautifully decorated! The location is super convenient to the dock for the ferries and excursions. Jobeth was super helpful setting up our trips and recommending restaurants. One of the highlights of the property is the pool overlooking the lagoon with the resident seals relaxing by the water. Was great to cool off with a cocktail by the bar after our daily adventures. Totally recommend this hotel for your family's stay in the Galapagos!! Thanks to all the staff for a great stay!

Ein wirklich schönes und neues Hotel direkt am Hafen und in der Nähe eines Supermarkts. Das Frühstück wird in Nachbarhotel serviert - was nicht wirklich stört, da es gleich gegenüber ist. Am besten fanden wir den Hotel Pool - Ein Infinitypool mit Blick auf die Boote und die felsige Landschaft. Auch Leihfahrräder werden gratis zur Verfügung gestellt.
