"I usually do not stay in boutique hotels; however, this was a very well mantained property and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided breakfast and were happy to call a taxi if needed. In addition, its location is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the pier. I really enjoyed it and hope to have the opportunity to stay there again in the future. A satisfied customer from Miami, Florida."

"Great stay. The room wasn't big but had an open closet to put some of your stuff and a good amount of storage like drawers etc. The bed was very comfortable. I picked this hotel because they had a nice pool and jacuzzi which did not disappoint. The jacuzzi wasn't very hot though probably like 96 to 98 degrees F. The pool was very nice and so was the area around it with lots of comfy lounge chairs and day beds. The breakfast was very good with different options which they kept changing everyday. They did have scrambled eggs everyday but would change the bread, yogurt, other hot items, juices etc to different flavors or items. Breakfast is served at 7am to 9am & most tours go before that time. You can get a Breakfast to go bag which includes a ham & cheese sandwich, juice box, crackers and an apple. Not super exciting but better than nothing. The staff was great and gave us great restaurant recommendations like Fra Fre & Bahia Mar (best meal was the Brujo Bahia Mar Special). We also liked 1835 Cafe which have super good coffee drinks and lemonade. I didn't like the lobster which was kind of dry, but their Tomahawk and other steak was great. We found the best tour company just a few minutes walk from the hotel down Moises Brito, left on Tomas de Berlanga on left corner when you hit Av Baltra. Cheapest prices and they were so accommodating and let us rent wet suits for free and showed us where to meet for the different tours. Its called Galapagos Expediciones y Turismo."

Angermeyer Waterfront Inn

8/10 Good
"The property itself was amazing. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly and the way they greet you is very pleasant. I also eat at the restaurant that they have there and the food was amazing as well. Only two things that were not ideal on my end was that there is construction going on from 7 AM all the way until eight or 9 PM. Also, the room I was staying in which is called the southern Cross is outdated and old. It was seen crack they were stained. The Jacuzzi does not work, the vanity in the bathroom was old and staining. But other than that, I enjoyed my stay and once all the renovations are complete I would like to go back if possible. I think the biggest selling point for this hotel is the team they have on staff. They are extremely friendly and willing to help at all times."
