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.

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.

The hotel didn’t mention that we have to have a 4 days Covid test to the Galápagos Islands not the 10 days Covid test requirement to enter Ecuador. So we didn’t know about this, our Covid test was 6 days ago.
