Amazing hotel in Santa Cruz Galapagos
The hotel is beautiful, very comfortable. Breakfast is excellent!! The staff is very friendly and provided all information we needed. Just one thing may be a little better. On the cruise ship I felt we had a better internet ( wifi) than at the hotel. But nothing disturbing… Overall a great experience

Finch bay hotel and execursions offers excellent Galapagos experience.
The Finch Bay hotel is an excellent (the best?) hotel on Galapagos: great rooms, nice swimming pool, excellent restaurant. But what was most outstanding is the personnel. All of them make your stay perfect. I recommend to book the Finch Bay offered excursions to other islands. These are fantastic! Unfortunetaly we did not make use…
