The staff and service are exceptional! The venue cannot be beaten. It’s the only place with a private beach. They have complementary water taxis that take you everywhere. When we got off our boat, they were waiting for us without us, even having to notify them. Definitely would recommend this hotel again.

Wow! What an amazing stay at this special place. From the private boat pickup, to the exceptionally large pool area shared with amazing birds daily, eco-lux practices, amazing fresh & innovative breakfast/restaurant/cocktails, lovely secluded spa, exceptionally well appointed rooms, and a team that truly looks after your every need - Finch Bay Hotel was just wonderful!!

4/10 Fair

Significantly Overpriced for What You Get For the price point (CAD $890 per night for a standard room; CAD $6,231 for 7 nights), the value did not align with expectations of a luxury hotel. The experience and amenities felt more mid-range, and several features commonly found in far less expensive hotels were missing. Cons: Room was much smaller than expected with very simple furnishings. Standard rooms offer average views of trees and a small pond. In-room amenities were minimal: no fridge, TV, iron/steamer, or coffee/tea setup. A recurring stale/sewer-like odor appeared in the room and bathroom. The welcome drink was a lemonade, with no additional touches typical of higher-end properties. On arrival, despite paying USD $65 per person for the transfer, we had to carry our luggage on a long walk; this seemed to be a one-off, as departure luggage was handled properly. Mixed: Beach access is convenient but fully public, with no dedicated chairs or umbrellas. The fitness center must be reserved; equipment is good, but preferred times may be unavailable. Pros: The hotel manager, Ana, was very accommodating and arranged a mini-fridge upon request. Staff-to-guest ratio is high, and rooms/common areas are very clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good and starts early. Snorkel gear is included, and a complimentary water taxi is available via WhatsApp. Accessibility: The 5–10 minute walk from the dock may be difficult for guests with limited mobility unless assistance is arr

The Finch Bay exceeded all of our expectations. The location is amazing and very convenient for seeing the sights and adjacent to a beautiful beach. The property is beautiful with magical little walk ways. The staff could not be nicer. They were incredibly helpful and cheerful and pleasant and made our stay even better than we could have expected. We booked a few tours through them which were great. The room was lovely, we had a pretty little balcony with a view of the water and the air conditioning cooled the room quickly. I liked that there was no tv in the room but there is a shared tv room in the main building. Wifi worked fine. The food was insanely delicious -- fresh and flavorful and priced reasonably. Hotel runs a free boat shuttle to town and to neighboring boats.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Almost certainly the best hotel in The Galápagos. Service was exceptional - relaxed and friendly but right on it and incredibly responsive and informative. Couldn’t have been more helpful on absolutely every front. The hotel itself is beautiful - somehow gets it just right - brilliant layout - everything is in exactly the right place if that makes sense! The Food is exceptional - credit to the chef - we tried all sorts and it was all beautifully prepared and tasted wonderful. And actually not even that expensive relative to other places on the islands. Beautiful beach right in front of the hotel. It is a public beach but to be honest that was quite nice as it gave it a bit of buzz. Private water taxi was excellent - you just whatsapped when you needed taking or collecting and it was always there within 5 minutes at most. All in all an absolutely superb hotel - we were there 6 nights and it was a great base to explore the whole island. The only suggestion I would make prospective guests is that there’s no need to book the more expensive suites. We were in one due to availability, but the standard rooms were half the price, perfectly well situated, and really nice too. So I’d just book one of them next time. Loved our stay at Finch Bay. Thanks to all 😃.
