Our stay at Posada Del Mar was fantastic. Carlos is wonderful. He is great at his job and always went above and beyond to help our group out. The location is great and everything we wanted to do was easily walkable. Beautiful views and breakfast was wonderful.

Posada Del Mar is fantastic! A little gem in the middle of bustling Puerto Ayora. The property is clean and inviting and we loved the common areas with tables, kitchen, couches and working space and bonus- views of the harbor. The best part is the wonderful staff that went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome and help store some of our excess gear. This will be my go to place when visiting Galapagos in the future!

Wonderful service and wonderful people

The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay special. We left early, and they made sandwiches for us since we would miss breakfast. Beyond that, the town had a loud celebration one night we were there, and the hotel provided us warning and earplugs to help make our stay more comfortable. They really did a fantastic job overall.

Great location and value for a clean, safe and comfortable stay in Puerto Ayora. Good fresh breakfast on the rooftop with a great view to start the day. Owner Carlos is very helpful in recommendations and meeting guest needs. Our room was spacious and clean. Water refill station in common areas. Easy 5-7 minute walk to ferry and most restaurants within 10-15 minutes. We will return in a few days for another few nights.

Comfortable bed and good location

Staff were really warm and courteous, I arrived really early and was allowed to store my luggage. The room was spacious and had a balcony which was perfect for relaxing and drying snorkel gear if you got any too. Breakfast is a voucher for the restaurant next door - Lo Lo which was quite nice (you get a choice of american breakfast or can ask for Bolon). Had it once which was alright - still great value. The bed was comfortable and staff cleaned it daily. Also good location near the ferry terminal - 5 mins walk.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The property manager is an absolute gem, he helped with everything. Carried my bags, held my bags after checkout, returned something left in the room, flagged taxis from the main road, gave great directions on where to find things, offered me his own sunscreen, etc. This place is not the most fully featured hotel in Puerto Ayora (no pool for example) but for the price, I don’t think it can be beat. Shower, AC all worked great, balcony to watch the sun set, breakfast next door included was great, bed is absolutely massive. Would stay here again for sure.

Only a couple blocks from the ferries to the other Galapagos Islands, this hotel is perfectly located. I could not say more about the hosts' generosity and hospitality!! I had a large and lovely balcony overlooking the quiet street below. On the top floor of the hotel is an amazing common area with a balcony which gives a magnificent view of the harbor area. At a very affordable price, this hotel is a diamond in the rough!!

Comfortable convenient and customer friendly

This was a sweet mom and pop place that I am so happy to support. Carlos who I believe is the owner was incredibly kind. The location was also incredibly convenient. If you need the late hour service of a big hotel you won’t find that here but I needed a comfortable convenient place to stay with great service and that was definitely here.

Loved my 5-night stay here! The staff was so lovely, polite and helpful. Room was nice and big for a single traveller. Loved the balcony and the pillows were confortable. Only down sides were the water pressure of the shower and the noise coming from the street and the school across the street. But still, would go back anytime :)
