This is one of the best hotel in the Galapagos as well as being a worthy contender for being a top World small luxury hotel. It is a pricey place although Paradise comes at a price.... nevertheless, some aspect definitely needs to be improved to contest with the best. To set the context and the possible needed improvement, we went there on a Honeymoon, in one of their ocean overlooking Suite, with a global price tag of $1,000 average per night. Upon arrival, we were charmed by the little walk leading to the hotel, taking you via small alleyways, leading through a jungle with some parading marine Iguanas and finally a deck pathway along the beach, looking at sea lion splashing in the ocean. This is a dream place.

There's not much to say. Everything was perfect. The rooms are lovely, with enough space, comfortable beds and a good shower. The staff is extremly friendly and helpful. The food is awesome. So are the drinks. The guides of the excursions are very knowledegable and always ready for anything you might need. Visiting during COVID, the measures for our protection were on point. Definitely recommended.

The Finch Bay Hotel is a nice place to escape while in the Galapagos. The hotel is quiet and there are plenty of spots to relax and lounge throughout the hotel. The sleeping area may be on the smaller side for some families, but the bathroom and shower area were quite large. The room did not have a TV, but that didn't matter because we spent most of our time on excursions and by the pool. The wifi worked well in our room and throughout the property. The only way to get from the hotel to the main town is by water taxi, and the hotel provides their own free water taxi. The hotel also has cold aloe vera leaves for sunburn which is a nice touch. The service in the hotel was lovely. The portions in the restaurant are small, so if you are starving then you should keep that in mind. I also found a large tarantula in my room, but the hotel staff took care of that by the time I arrived from my excursion that afternoon.…
