Exceptional Hotel with Outstanding Staff

8.0

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Finch Bay Hotel, where I celebrated my birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. Their warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay truly memorable. The service was exceptional throughout, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The food was delicious, the amenities were excellent, and the hotel has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The beautiful beach is the perfect place to unwind, with stunning surroundings that make you feel like you’re in paradise. A huge thank you to everyone at Finch Bay Hotel for making my birthday so memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Galápagos Islands and would love to return one day.

Staff was amazing. Property was beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous property, spacious rooms. Relaxing pool area. Good WiFi, plenty of activities. Hotel shuttle boat to take you across to town always available within a few minutes.

We paid for a room with an ocean view and that description would really be a stretch from the room we got. I also a bit of a walk to the dock. The location is gorgeous but remote.

Great boutique hotel with gorgeous pool in quiet but convenient location .

10.0

We absolutely loved our stay at Finch Bay . It came at the end of a 6 day Galapagos Cruise which was also great but really lovely to spend time on land . Loved the complimentary excursions to Tortuga bay , a nature walk and star gazing . Food was good and the complimentary water taxi to the main town worked really well . All the staff were really good - particularly Alfonso and Endique and also thanks to Melissa for helping us book and providing lots of information before our stay .
