BlueBay Galapagos Planet

The Galapagos Planet deserves at least a four star rating. Though the rooms are quite small, they are clean and the bed comfortable. Strange shower fitting but did work well. An extra small table in the room would be helpful. Staff very friendly. Will hire out masks and snorkels. Small area at the back to dry swimming clothes. Brilliant location as close to sea front. Don't be put off by hotel being 10 minutes from airport. Lovely top floor area with great views of the bay for breakfast. Breakfast good...they make great omelette. Would recommend this hotel.

The rooms are very clean and spacious but the rooms are missing many basic amenities. There is no mini fridge, there is no room in the washroom for your stuff, no shelf space in room for anything if I had a used cup I'd have to put it on the floor. Barely room to put suitcase. No room to hang wet clothes. Breakfast is lacking. Very close to airport and a short walk from any restaurants or stores. Great service. Water dispenser for free in lobby. Pool is next door, you need to buy a drink to use. Little bugs come in washroom at night. Probably wouldn't stay there again but I was very happy with how clean they kept everything.

I had a pleasant stay at Galapagos Planet Hotel and would recommend it for those seeking a budget-friendly option in the Galapagos. The rooms are equipped with great air conditioning, which was a welcome relief after a day of exploring. The location is convenient, just an 8-minute walk from the main shoreline where you can find several restaurants. Plus, there are fantastic early and evening views of the booby birds, which made for memorable moments. Although checkout is early at 9:00 AM, I appreciated that it allowed for a smooth check-in around 12:00 PM. The hotel is well aware of airline schedules, so it’s nice to get off the plane and check in almost immediately, which made the transition from travel to relaxation effortless. The staff were all very friendly, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The only downside was the breakfast, which could use a little improvement. However, we discovered that you could order fried eggs or omelets, which definitely made the breakfast more enjoyable. The hotel is just a 5-minute drive from the airport, making it super convenient for travelers. While it’s not a high-end option, it’s clean, practical, and affordable, making it a solid choice for those on a budget. Would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting the Galapagos!

Hotel is older but appears to be kept in good condition. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Daily breakfast was free. Facility was spotless!Nice pool on 3rd floor. Is a little out of the way to the downtown section of the city. Desk will readily call for taxi service. Those who are CPAP users for sleep apnea will not find distilled water!

The hotel is quaint and very clean. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I think there could be more supplies in the rooms like a mirror in the room and places to set your personal items on. All of the arrangements were supported very well by the staff.

Room was clean, and climate controlled. Lobby provides ample fresh, filtered water. WiFi signal is very strong and no issues with hot water. Upon check in is when I found out they only take cash payment and there was no pay-ahead option when I booked the room through United travel as with another property I used. They would not take a credit card (said they couldn't yet signage and travel listing says they do). Had to go to an ATM and pay fees on both ends to have enough cash to pay for my reservation. My reservation was "breakfast included", and when checking in I was told what time and where the breakfast buffet would be, but on both days there was NO breakfast available and I asked why, and was not given much of an answer other than, the restaurant didn't prepare it. Uh, okay...Pool area noisy at night as there is an outdoor bar/restaurant adjacent to it playing lout music, but not a large seating area. The staff were pleasant but not exceptionally helpful or friendly. Pay in cash, and don't hang up any wet clothes anywhere visible from the street side (there is a drying area outside in the back). I would not choose to stay at this property again. Overpriced, amenities advertised not available and the property is up a few blocks from the main ***** and on the "slow" or "townie" side of town near the Naval Base gate entry.
