Escalesia SeaFront

Had a phenomenal stay at this stunning oceanfront boutique hotel in the heart of the Galapagos. Juan Pablo runs a tight ship, always going above and beyond, even running us umbrellas to a restaurant several blocks away during a torrential rain storm. The property is gorgeous, peaceful, and in the center of town close to excursions, shops, restaurants, and activities. The rooms are super comfortable and includes daily turndown service and wonderful breakfast. A real gem of the enchanted islands.

High end, very clean, large room, excellent breakfast, excellent, attentive staff, laundry on premises, great view of the bay, private swimming pool and spa, comfortable beds, no bugs. We had the large main room on second floor with 2 king beds for 3 people. On main road, walk to restaurants, pier and Darwin center. Very safe. If we ever return, will insist on staying here. There may be other equivalent hotels, but none better.

Great hotel in Santa Cruz - Galapagos which we can highly recommend. -The hotel was very clean. We had the biggest room, a Suite Deluxe (room name: "Isabela"), and had a nice view to the sea from our balcony which was big. There was also a whirlpool . The personal very nicely explained how the the whirlpool works. However, we could also tell them when we planned to go to the whirlpool in advance and they already prepared it to have it ready when we get to the room. The whirlpool was very clean. -The hotel is directly located at the sea and centrally. Going out from the hotel to the street you have a lot of delicious restaurants. As usual at Santa Cruz, you have to walk to the beaches since the hotels do not have direct access to beaches. However, the closed, small, beach is only approx. 5 to 10 min by walk. -The pool at the hotel is very clean and there is a bar. Furthermore, since the hotel has not many rooms, the pool is not crowded and thus is great for relaxing. -Once, while eating breakfast outside, a sea lion was sleeping in the sun at the hotel area. The sea lion came by himself from the sea. This was so nice and cute. -What we would especially like to point out is the personal. At first day, the hotel manager welcomed us and explained us everything. I had once a strong sunburn (I am a bit sensitive to the sun). So, I called 02.00 am in the morning the hotel manager and he immediately came and organised a doctor. I really appreciated it and he was always very polite. Generally, all person at the hotel was polite. -If we go to Canta Cruz again, we will definitely going back to this hotel.

I loved this place! I went there with my group of girlfriends and had an amazing experience. The hotel is very well located close to restaurants and different shops. The room itself was spacious including a cozy balcony with a nice ocean view. The bathroom was fully equipped: blowdryer, toiletries and bathrobe. Food wise, we were very pleased. The breakfast we had was excellent with multiple options to choose from. After finishing all our excursions and activities, we were able to end our day relaxing by the pool. Overall this is hidden gem. I highly recommend this place and will definitely comeback in the future.

We loved our stay at Villa Escalesia in Puerto Ayora! First of all the hotel is in such a wonderful location for walking and exploring. It is literally right off the Main Street and therefore close to restaurants, stores and bars. We stayed in room #3 which was a wonderful suite with an ocean view and access to the large deck. The bed was so comfortable. The room was well equipped - maybe a little dated? There was a mini fridge, safe and coffee making facilities. The staff were absolutely amazing and so accommodating and the free breakfast was exceptional!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the amazing accommodations and service at this villa! The attentive staff, that would make fresh juice and breakfast, see to our evening hot tub experience mad this place an absolute gem! The chef service from Ignacio (Midori Sushi & Pub) was just amazing. Everyone was so kind! The relaxing rooms, the hot tub, the kids enjoyed the pool (ready for a cool plunge) and then they'll do your laundry at the end! This is how you relax and have a vacation. AMAZING!
