The entire team at Finch Bay was exceptional and set this hotel apart from others. From reception team finding solutions to your requests, changing rooms around to accommodate to the incredible dining staff serving great food and drinks with a story and genuine warmth. This is our families second trip to the Galapagos but first time staying on land - it was a lovely change and needed so the teens could still log on for school. Many thanks for a lovely week!

I felt like Finch Bay was a very nice hotel for the Galapagos. However, I felt like they were slightly understaffed. We also mentioned it was our honeymoon and, unlike the other hotels we stayed at throughout our three week vacation, this hotel did nothing for us to honor this.
Clean, quiet. Amazing spa with the best massage.
The ducks kept pooping in the pool so we weren't using the pool, but the hot tubs at the spa were nice.
Overall, good experience. However, I don't think was worth the high price we paid for a suite.

Almost certainly the best hotel in The Galápagos.
Service was exceptional - relaxed and friendly but right on it and incredibly responsive and informative. Couldn’t have been more helpful on absolutely every front.
The hotel itself is beautiful - somehow gets it just right - brilliant layout - everything is in exactly the right place if that makes sense!
The Food is exceptional - credit to the chef - we tried all sorts and it was all beautifully prepared and tasted wonderful. And actually not even that expensive relative to other places on the islands.
Beautiful beach right in front of the hotel. It is a public beach but to be honest that was quite nice as it gave it a bit of buzz.
Private water taxi was excellent - you just whatsapped when you needed taking or collecting and it was always there within 5 minutes at most.
All in all an absolutely superb hotel - we were there 6 nights and it was a great base to explore the whole island. The only suggestion I would make prospective guests is that there’s no need to book the more expensive suites. We were in one due to availability, but the standard rooms were half the price, perfectly well situated, and really nice too. So I’d just book one of them next time.
Loved our stay at Finch Bay. Thanks to all 😃.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were so friendly and helpful with anything we needed.
All of the little things they did for us were great. Noticed we were sunburnt? They brought us fresh allow off the plant.
When we were leaving, we had a layover in Quito for the night and needed to present a COVID test to get back to the US. They contacted our layover hotel and scheduled the testing so we would have the results that same night and in time for our flight the next morning.
The food was great. Quick access to town. The tour guide they gave us for excursions was very knowledgeable and friendly. Beach was a 1-2 minute from our room. Everything was perfect.

Very beautiful resort
The resort was beautiful and had very good service. It requires a boat ride to get to the downtown area, but it is easy to use.
