My wife and I decided upon a land-based tour of the Galapagos for our honeymoon in May, and we organized our trip through Red Mangrove. We booked the 5d/4n Darwin's Triangle program. Everything about the experience was first-class. The Aventura Lodge is a beautiful, unique hotel, we had great service, and everything was very well-coordinated for our trip. We were... more

We stayed at the Red Mangrove for two nights following a four night cruise. While the view is beautiful the hotel does not provide the amenities it should for the high price of the rooms. The hot tub was not working during our stay and there is no pool. Service in the restaurant for breakfast and lunch was so poor... more

We had an amazing time on our Red Mangrove adventure. But what made it stand out was the staff - Veronica was an excellent hotel host and made sure all of our needs were met (and then some). Duncan was an awesome guide - really knowledgeable, fun and willing to go the extra kilometer to help you have a good... more

We have had the best diving experience, we were deciding between a live aboard and the “Dive triangle” with the Red Mangrove. A great decision!!! Diving was excellent, we saw everythhing we wanted to see:White tipped sharks, hammer heads, galapagos sharks, giant rays, mantas, sea horses, pinguins, etc, etc, etc... The diving, the crew, the guides and accommodation were great,... more

My husband and I just returned from the "Darwin Triangle" trip where we experienced all three Red Mangrove accomodations. We planned to stay two extra nights in Puerto Ayora, but had such an enjoyable time, we decided to stay another extra night at the Red Mangrove instead of our planned two nights on the mainland. The staff changed our flights,... more

Dear Mr. Kenbeee. Once again, your feedback is as appreciated in public as it is in private. And once again, we can only apologize to you for your perceptions of our employees. To be fair, if you look through Trip Advisor, the very same you complained about impress others so much they rave about them by name in Trip Advisor...

I had a great time at Red Mangrove. I had the Azul Suite which was a beautiful room with great views! Service was excellent, diving was excellent and the sushi was excellent...all the better when sitting outside over the sea. It was great seeing the marine iguanas on the deck, the fish at night in the lit water under the... more

The Red Mangrove not only has hotel rooms but they also rent very nice apartments. I stayed at Casa Cruz (departamento/apartment) for 1 week. It is only a couple of blocks from the Red Mangrove Lodge and the main area of town. It was much more than I needed as a solo traveler but their hotel rooms were booked during... more

We took the Darwin's Triangle 5 night/6 day tour from April 25-30, 2009. We arranged our trip ourselves and the sales representative who assisted us was the start of our incredibly customer service experience. Daniela answered all of our questions thoroughly and promptly and arranged our flights and even a scuba diving excursion. We were met at the airport by... more
