"Our favourite thing about this hotel was the pool area. Such a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing, walking our on a tour. The location was great as it was an easy walk to the harbour area for dinners, or walking to Tortuga Bay. Hotel was clean, staff were friendly, ac worked great and bed was comfy. Loved the added fridge for storing cold water or snacks. Definitely recommend staying here. "

"Extremely comfortable beds and very nice staff! The room is well appointed and the ping pong table is a nice addition that we've enjoyed using. It is 2km from the beach so it's a 15min walk each way.. Which in the hot sun seems like a long time even if you are very fit. However it's much cheaper due to its location so it's great value for a long walk.. "

"The Royal Palm offers a truly immersive Galápagos experience—set inland on a stunning 100 acre property, far from the touristy feel of the ports. Recently under new ownership, the property is being refreshed: rooms are spacious and renovated, the pool has been redone, and quiet renovations are underway, including apparently a unique lava tunnel spa. Some exterior areas still need attention, but the overall feel is serene and authentic. Service is top-notch and boutique-level, with attentive, personalized touches throughout. A special thank you to Gustavo, the ever-present and gracious manager. The restaurant is excellent, with a warm team—Rita made us feel at home and remembered our names. Breakfasts are fresh, varied and awesome. Excursions can be organized by the hotel and work seamlessly. Duncan gave us a deep dive into the island’s geology and ecology, while Maritza kept our 8–14-year-olds fully engaged with her energy and knowledge. Boat tour days were a highlight—fantastic snorkeling, incredible island views, and a surprisingly gourmet chef onboard (kudos)! The boat crew was kind and professional. Guide quality, however, faltered which was disappointing. Overall, The Royal Palm is a peaceful, character-rich base for a Galápagos trip—elevated by excellent service, comfort, and nature. "

"Very nice boutique hotel tucked away from the main street. The staff are very friendly. "
