Hotel Solymar

The staff is very friendly, we were able to communicate in English and Spanish. We used the laundry service, $3 per pound, laundry was returned same day when dropped off in the morning. The breakfast was included and was a good basic breakfast - eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt and nuts. There is a nice lounge in addition to the breakfast area. We enjoyed wine from the hotel one night by the water (about $32 for the bottle). This is a great place to see wildlife - we saw sea lions by the pool, blue boobies while eating breakfast, pelicans and iguanas. We did not use the hot tub, you must book a timeslot but saw a few people using it. The shower pressure is good and partial ocean view room on 2nd floor had a great view of the ocean.

One of the most beautifully located hotels in Puerto Ayora. View from the room onto the bay is amazing and if you are lucky, there is local wildlife that will accompany you during your stay. We had two bluefooted boobies that kept us company during breakfasts. And the breakfasts they serve are delicious! There are not many choices, but the quality is excellent and meals do not get boring even during a longer stay. The hotel has an infinity pool and a hot tub, however if you want to use the latter you have to tell the reception desk so they have some time to heat up the water. All in all, this is one of the best choices for your stay in Santa Cruz island.

Basically everything!

The view of the seafront was so lovely and the sealions, heron , pelicans boobies and marine iguanas that hang out there ! Staff and facilities were very nice and it was so nice having breakfast with a view
