Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel

This absolutely beautiful!!! Write on beach and trail to Las Grietas! Worth the price! Breakfast and dinners are delicious! Great spread for an included breakfast. Only stayed one night given we were headed on a cruise. The trek here is easier than expected. We purchased a transfer but not needed. A must see!

My husband and I celebrated our 15th Anniversary here and we clearly made the best decision ever! From the time we left the airport until the time we headed back to Quito, the service at this resort was nothing short of Amazing!! Special shout out to the MVPs of Finch Bay! Cesar, Patty, Miguel, Hilda, Wagner, Jorge, and Ms Grace! They went above and beyond to make sure that we had a wonderful experience! Definitely no need to go anywhere else for food or drinks! Just top notch!

Everybody was friendly and anticipatory to my needs. The hotel is comfortable and good looking, but what I loved the most is that it is sustainable. The staff is attentive and the activities are unique, just as the destination is. The quality of the food is great as well.

Finch Bay was our last stop before heading back to the UK and provided a great location to rest up before our flight home. The hotel is served by its own private water taxis so access to Puerto Aroyo is very easy. The town itself is lively and inviting. The hotel is set back from a public beach along a winding path from the jetty and has a beautiful pool which the resident pintails took to like ducks to water, which is very appropriate really! It was great fun watching them and the lava gulls chase each other for dominance of the popcorn available from sunning tourists. The pintails had a routine of getting their corn, washing it in the freshwater pool to make it softer and guzzling it straight after. Alongside the pool, there’s a very well run cocktail and snacks bar which is a great place to spend your time. The grounds show off the volcanic nature of the terrain and you know the wild things- none of which are dangerous to humans- are near. In our 24 hours there, we saw a night heron, the aforesaid gulls and ducks, a snake, grey herons and egrets. Some of these we hadn’t seen anywhere on our cruise round the central islands. Breakfast was excellent as was the meal the night before. The room was a little on the small side but the bathroom was ace with a regenerative shower and plenty of unctions and soaps. The staff and GM in particular were extremely hospitable and prepared to engage with tips on what to do and where to go We loved it and would happily have spent longer.

We had a great stay, the hotel, rooms, breakfast were all great. Patty at reception really helped us with all the information and support we needed. Water taxi is very easy also. I would highly recommend the candle light dinner make a reservation for this. Food was incredible and the service by Cesar was probably the best service I’ve ever had, he really added to the overall experience and this was our best dinner in Ecuador.
