Our naturalist guides from the Finch Bay met us at the airport and were great the entire trip. The Finch Bay takes your checked luggage for you so it will arrive at your hotel before you and you don't need to worry about it. From the airport, you take a 5 minute bus ride to Itabaca channel, board a boat... more

We stayed at Finch Bay for 8 days at the end of June. The setting is so tranquil surrounded by nature and looking out over a smay baay and beach. They have a gorgeous modern pool that attracts ducks and herons and finches all day and evening. We got the all inclusive meal pkg and were so glad- the chef... more

We just returned from 8 days at Finch Bay in the Galapagos and we really enjoyed this hotel. From downtown Puerto Ayora it is necessary to take a water taxi and then walk about 5 minutes to this hotel. We booked our tour through Metropolitan Touring. They handled all the transfers and luggage for us. They are really a top... more

After 10 days travelling Peru we were looking for somewhere to chill out before embarking on a week long cruise around Galapagos. On the whole Finch Bay was a great spot, but there were a number of issues that stopped it scoring 5 star. On the plus side the pool, rooms and restaurant are fantastic. It is also great to... more

This hotel has done an excellent job in integrating itself into the surrounding landscape which you would expect from a hotel that bills itself as a 'Eco Hotel'. The buildings are just two stories high and are unobstructive. One of the best beaches on the island fronts the hotel and from there you can take a sea kayak tour with... more

We decided to go to this hotel due to the "private and secluded beach" they offer, Guess what NOT. yes you have to take a oil smelly water taxi to go from the town to this side of the Island and walk with no shield to cover from rain of sun more than half of mile. Then you arrive to... more

I'm writing this review mostly out of surprise and disagreement with a recently viewed review of this same hotel from someone named "Hawaii." Hawaii did not have positive things to say about the hotel and i'm here to say that I couldn't disagree more strongly. Here's why: This hotel lives up to it's beautiful photographs, it is pristine, with a... more

Fantastic!

We booked through Gate 1 & everything was very smooth - Finch Bay Hotel was outstanding - I cannot say enough about... more

I recently read a reviewer's negative comments on the Finch Bay Eco Hotel. I could not disagree any more strongly! My family visited the Finch Bay Eco Hotel and were greeted by the most sincere, humble and accommodating staff. The beach was scenic, beautiful and natural. It is small, but we came to the Galapagos to experience nature and to... more
