Galapagos Dreams

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The staff is incredible - so friendly and helpful! We booked one of our tours through their travel agency as well and thought it was great. The hotel organized our transportation to and from the airport, which was nice because it involved a car, water taxi, and bus. Very much recommend this place if you are staying on Santa Cruz in the Galapagos!

All of the staff is very friendly and go above and beyond to help you. Breakfast was great, the free cofee and hot/cold water was a plus. We booked a half day tour in their tour agency and had a great experience. Located just a few minutes walking distance to restaurants, markets, souvenir shops, tour agencies etc.

Great location (a short walk to Puerto Ayora center). It is basic, but very clean and with great service. We felt as a part of the family😃

This hotel was selected for us by our tour package. It started off nice with a welcome juice drink. First of all, this hotel is clean, safe, and presumably cheap (which is why the tour company used it). This hotel is also unnecessarily stingy. Examples: 1. We asked for one (1) extra pillow. It was denied until we insisted. It costs nothing. Why be so niggardly? 2. The minute we left for the day, they turned off the AC in our room, which was set at 25. Therefore, our wet clothing never dried. 3. Breakfast actually made me laugh out loud. The standard was a roll, cheese, and ham. It was my first ever ham garnish. The cheese was half the size of a box of matches. I posted a photo with this review with a dollar for size comparison. I’d like to lose five pounds so no problem for me. It might be one for you if your appetite is more robust. So. There are probably ten cheaper places in Port Aroyo and 10 more expensive places with a better breakfast. There’s a really pretty place with a pool across the street called Maidith. Next time…. Except there won’t be a next time because I’ll never visit the Galápagos again. Too little time, too many places.

Staff was very friendly, cordial. We arrived early and they made every effort to have our room ready as soon as possible without even asking. They greeted us with a glass of cold tea which was very good and much needed because we were thirsty from walking from the pier to the hotel. They also let us know that the breakfast time had already finished but since the following day we were leaving early to take the ferry they could offer us the included breakfast on the day of our arrival, so we had a wonderful and homey breakfast with eggs, ham, cheese, coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt and it was heaven because we had just come by ferry and hadn't had time to have breakfast. They had water, coffee and tea at the lobby all day. We could walk to the main pier and shopping and dining areas easily, safely and comfortably.

We really enjoyed the 3 nights we spent here. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. They stored our luggage when we went to another Island for a couple of days. The rooms on the first floor are a little noisy, but we are early risers, so it was okay.

The Hotel Galapagos Dreams was my base for much of my stay on the Galapagos Islands. The rooms were basic, but comfortable, and the morning breakfast was always good. It was perfectly located, a short walk from the center of Puerto Ayora, where all the restaurants, shops (and misc sea lions laying around) can be found. There is a tour agency that's part of the hotel, and they are super helpful to arrange any tours you want to take, even to the other islands. They also rent pedal bikes there, if you want to get around to a few of the places around town a bit faster. I was very happy I chose Galapagos Dreams to make my Galapagos vacatin a special one.

Excellent host and highly recommend! We are a family with kids therefore needed additional space and comfort, GD provided great service, good breakfast, clean, and close to many options like the beach, port, food, bakery and mini market nearby. Will say here again.

It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel! Just off the main *****, it was nice and quiet. Convenient to everything and well appointed. We even had a mini fridge in our room, which is uncommon in Ecuador from our experience. They gave us a yummy fresh juice when we showed up and the common areas are so nice. We arranged transport to the airport and weren’t aware the person was going to escort us the whole way to the flight counter. A simple miscommunication on our part. You can probably handle just having a taxi to the port and manage the rest of the way on your own.
