Safari Tentalow in Galápagos

"The service and the people"

"Excellent stay! Very good service! "

"Great hotel, would recommend. The pool was very clean and they have a nice huge hot tub. Definitely would stay again."

"Hotel was very clean, safe, quiet and server a nice breakfast. The location was excellent, close to everything. "

"About a 20 minute walk from downtown, has a couple mini markets right next to it. Nice pool, morning breakfast and quiet rooms."

"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. "

"We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Islas Galapagos. Our room was clean and quiet and the manager was extremely nice. The dining area had a refrigerator, toaster and microwave. The hotel is a short walk to restaurants and the harbor. Muchas Gracias, Hotel Islas Galapagos!"

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

"I was really impressed with the service provided and the friendliness of the staff, they really helped to make my trip to Isla Isabela as memorable as could be. The staff were simply terrific and made sure I understood how tours and ferry/taxi services worked, and when there was a small mix up with a tour the desk clerk was able to have it corrected and send me on my way so the little delay. The hotel is very clean and extremely accommodating and is a great option for what I was looking for, they had 110 volt electricity and great air conditioning in the rooms. The morning breakfast overlooking the lagoon is a great way to start the day and meet other travelers, and when I left for a morning ferry before the kitchen opened the thoughtful staff left a care package of drinks and snacks for me at the desk which was very unexpected and really made me smile when I saw that. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone, I was only sorry that I didn’t extend my stay here as they were fantastic to me."
