"I stayed in the Wolf suite- BEST view on the island! It was dreamy… the restaurant smells were great and made me hungry… the restaurant itself,(not associated with the hotel) meh. The staff was friendly, but they want to make money off of you- so save your money and go into the town and book your own activities. You’ll save a ton of money. But I liked this place. Very accommodating. It was a little noisy- lots of birds in the rafters and lizards coming in and out… but I actually enjoyed them. I had ample hot water - the best shower! Definitely a suite for lovers although I didn’t have one with me- it left me wishing I did. "
"We loved the close proximity to the town and airport as everything was in walking distance. The staff was outstanding. We did have an issue with our hot water not working, but the staff came to get it to work right away. The daily breakfast was always delicious as we got eggs made fresh daily and fresh delicious fruit was also included. Also, we went on 2 excursions where we had to meet before breakfast started. So the staff got us a box breakfast the night before we left on these excursions. Overall, we were very pleased with the excellent service and cleanliness of the room."
"The rooms were very comfortable, the jacuzzi was a very nice surprise for us, the weather was a bit cold so we had a very good time there. It has a very convenient location you can walk to many places. The breakfast was very good and the staff was very kind. "
Royal Palm Galapagos, Curio Collection Hotel by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"The best part about staying at Royal Palms Galapagos was the staff. They were all friendly and helpful, making their best effort to make our stay enjoyable. They remembered our dietary restrictions and would point out if a dish had food we couldn’t eat.
The facilities were very nice, and cleaned by friendly staff. The property grounds were serene and lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely choose the Royal Palms again."
"Centrally located with lots of choices to shop and eat. A block away from The Port and plenty of taxis available.
The Staff was great and their breakfasts in the morning are incredible! WiFi was a little spotty but that’s the only thing I’d change. They even packed us little snack bags for our airport run!! "
