Nestled just 20 metres from Charles Darwin Avenue in the heart of Puerto Ayora, La Isla Hotel is a contemporary hotel offering a comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the remarkable Galápagos Islands.
Modern in design and quietly set back from the main street, La Isla Hotel provides a peaceful retreat whilst keeping guests within easy walking distance of the waterfront, the famous Charles Darwin Research Station, and the morning pier — a bustling hub for fishermen unloading their catch, and where sea lions, pelicans and marine iguanas gather daily in a spectacle of wildlife.
The hotel features eight spacious, air-conditioned rooms, all finished to a modern standard with en suite bathrooms, flat-screen televisions, safety deposit boxes, hairdryers and free WiFi. Several rooms open onto private balconies, with the upper-floor rooms offering impressive views across the town and bay. A rooftop terrace adds further appeal for those wishing to take in the surroundings after a day's diving or island exploration.
Guests are welcomed each morning with a generous buffet breakfast served in the hotel's spacious restaurant, which also provides an ideal setting to plan the day ahead over a tea or coffee.
