"Amazing location overlooking the bay. We saw sea turtles, reef sharks, sea lions and lots of fish just sitting at the bar sipping cocktails. Breakfast is at the sister hotel across the road. The food served is from 2pm-10pm only (and also comes from across the street) and is cash only but very delicious (we had the meat and fish skewers). Only stayed one night before our cruise but would definitely stay there again if we were to return (and for longer than one night only)."

"Good location,but the hotel is under construction is a lot of construction noise,we was one night without water and towels what we find very inconvenient in this moment is not restaurant so if you book with breakfast they will send you to other hotel to take breakfast.

"The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful. They offered tips on what to do and called and scheduled a taxi service to pick me up for my early morning flight. The balcony is such a wonderful bonus to the room, and it is close to the main attractions and marina. "

"An amazing place to stay. The staff are super friendly and nice, while the hotel garden is as good as any botanical garden, with plenty of turtles and lizards. A bit far from the town, but takes 7$ and 20 min to get there, so not an issue."

"The owner was wonderful and very helpful in arranging ferry tickets and tours of the island. The rooms were clean and comfortable for the price. There is significant noise that comes from the street at night and street lights lighting up the room for the entire night."

"Great place to stay and really affordable. The staff were helpful and did our washing for us for very cheap and theres free drinking water at reception. The rooms were nice and beds were comfy, the little outdoor patio was nice. The rooms were cleaned most days which was great and the bathroom was big, tidy and had good shower pressure. The only downside to this place is how loud the street is, all day everyday. I would maybe request a room off the road if you arent a deep sleeper. Besides that,...

"My husband and I stayed at the Posada del Mar for 4 nights. It is a 7-10 minute walk from the ferry terminal, close to the supermarket and tonnes of restaurants, travel companies and shopping. The breakfast is great if you decide to take advantage of it. There is coffee and tea all day as well as water to drink. The people at the front desk speak both Spanish and English and are incredibly helpful. Credit card is accepted for hotel stays. (For breakfast you have to pay in cash.) We took advantage of the taxi ride share within 5-10 minutes walk to go to the airport, which cost $11USD per person (instead of $30USD for taxi.) Rooms are clean and mostly quiet but I did use ear plugs to sleep since there is a discotheque just down the street and sometimes some traffic noise that can be heard from the balcony. Beds are comfy. Water pressure in shower is pretty good but I would recommend to bring flip flops to wear in the shower. Great A/C in the rooms. Would definitely stay again for the price and location.

"Excellent location, clean, friendly, and great breakfast. Highly recommend. Only caveat- the outdoor area on the water shown in photos is actually a couple blocks from the rest of the hotel. Not a big deal, but I was surprised. "
"Very nice little boutique hotel, very well located in Puerto Ayora. Exceptionally attentive staf and clean, ample room. Our tour was canceled due to a tsunami warning. The staff quickly found an alternative activity for us."
