They offered to pick me up but never did. I had to take a cab and the manager stated he would pay for my cab because of the inconvenience then lied. Also, I was supposed to get breakfast but didnt so they offered me a beer each day then tried to charge me for it. The restaurant not affiliated was fantastic. Room was nice, by very warm.

Enjoyed our stay at Blu Galápagos it was very easily accessible within walking distance of many delightful places to eat. The breakfast area is located overlooking the water so we enjoyed having breakfast next to sea lions and other local wildlife. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a return place to stay.

The name lives up to the experience

My stay exceeded my expectations. The ambiance says Galapagos. Natural, lovely comfy, intimate. The staff treated me like family. Nothing was too much to ask. Did i mention it's right on the cove so breakfast is with the sea lions, Galapagos marine iguanas, brightly colored crabs - you get the picture. Already planner my next stay.

The resort is beautiful and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We ate at the restaurant a couple of evenings and the food was delicious! The breakfast wasn't included in our rate (and was $30 each to add), but there are great restuarants very close to the resort. Would definitely return!

The waterfront and mangroves are beautiful. The staff is friendly, but clearly not excited to be there. The hotel is neighbors with a nightclub that has a bass line that can move furniture, and does until all hours of the night. Reception is in the middle of a bunch of room entrances and is constantly noisy and apparently the meeting place for all groups of all sizes, at all hours of the day. The place is noisy and not relaxing at all.

For the price, I was expecting a lot more. The rooms were clean and nice however nothing special. My room lock didn’t work which I would’ve thought would be fixed prior to guests. The restaurant location is great overlooking the water however the food was just ok. They had no beef available and my lobster was overcooked. Bikes were available which was great. Overall, not worth the price.
