Luxury Hotels in Galápagos from SAR 473

"For our first trip to the Galapagos, my two friends and I opted for the DIY style of exploring the Galapagos Islands. We wanted to stay at a place that was central to Puerto Ayora, small enough to not feel overwhelmed by tourists, and offered good recommendations for places to explore and restaurants to try. The staff at Maidith Inn delivered on all three! Maidith is a 5-10 minute walk to the busy shopping/dining scene and port from which the ferries depart, but far enough away from the busy street to be quiet at night. It had an intimate vibe, and Denis, the innkeeper for the time being, was there to greet us every morning and evening with kindness, fresh towels, and bottles of water. He provided great recommendations on restaurants to try in addition to the one-page list of dining options that Maidith had for its guests. When booking our reservation, I reached out to Maidith about some recommended places to visit on the way from the airport. For a reasonable price, they connected us with the best taxi driver who picked us up from the airport, took us to Los Gemelos, took us to Frontier Galapagos, where we saw land tortoises and hiked to/from the lava tunnels, and took us to the hotel. This taxi driver was incredibly kind and professional, and we ended up using his services two or three more times during our stay. As a plus, the daily breakfast is fresh and healthy. If traveling alone or with a small group, Maidith Inn could be the perfect option! "

"Great location, nice rooms & friendly staff. "

"This beautiful property is in the main path and waterfront, 50 yards away lay over a dozen sea lions each day ...an incredible sight. Great restaurants also yards away...The Pier Restaurant is amazing btw. Tatiana, the hotel's manager and her assistant are wonderful. They patiently explained everything to us, looked for excursions, and even walked us to the agency. The breakfasts are delicious and abundant, set outside with a water view, while finches come tableside. They also have water, coffee, cocoa, and tea avail all day and a refrigerator if you want to keep food. The only down side the bathrooms need upkeep...lighting and hot/cold water faucets."
