Amazing Hotel!

I had an amazing stay at Barranco Hotel! I stayed at the Dock House and the service was excellent from start to finish. The location couldn't be better just a short walk to the malecon and all the main attractions. The continental breakfast was fresh and delicious, a perfect way to start the day. I will definitely be coming back and staying here again. Highly recommended!

10/10 Exceptional

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).
Sasha, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

This was our family's second trip to the Galapagos and we found the new Hotel Barranco online and took a chance as it didn't have many reviews. We had a wonderful stay! Everything is brand new, clean, and beautifully decorated! The location is super convenient to the dock for the ferries and excursions. Jobeth was super helpful setting up our trips and recommending restaurants. One of the highlights of the property is the pool overlooking the lagoon with the resident seals relaxing by the water. Was great to cool off with a cocktail by the bar after our daily adventures. Totally recommend this hotel for your family's stay in the Galapagos!! Thanks to all the staff for a great stay!

Muy buen hotel, muy nuevo. Las camas son un poco pequeñas. Ojalá inauguren pronto el restaurante ya que el desayuno del hotel (toca ir al hotel de al frente) es muy regular.
