We are thrilled we chose to stay at this hotel! The staff is exceptional and truly made our family trip unforgettable. Our room was beautiful and spotless, and the pool and jacuzzi provided the perfect way to unwind after our daily adventures. We also dined at the Lava Restaurant—it was an unforgettable experience and highly recommended! This is definitely a place we want to return to. We absolutely loved it!

The Royal Palm offers a truly immersive Galápagos experience—set inland on a stunning 100 acre property, far from the touristy feel of the ports. Recently under new ownership, the property is being refreshed: rooms are spacious and renovated, the pool has been redone, and quiet renovations are underway, including apparently a unique lava tunnel spa. Some exterior areas still need attention, but the overall feel is serene and authentic. Service is top-notch and boutique-level, with attentive, personalized touches throughout. A special thank you to Gustavo, the ever-present and gracious manager. The restaurant is excellent, with a warm team—Rita made us feel at home and remembered our names. Breakfasts are fresh, varied and awesome. Excursions can be organized by the hotel and work seamlessly. Duncan gave us a deep dive into the island’s geology and ecology, while Maritza kept our 8–14-year-olds fully engaged with her energy and knowledge. Boat tour days were a highlight—fantastic snorkeling, incredible island views, and a surprisingly gourmet chef onboard (kudos)! The boat crew was kind and professional. Guide quality, however, faltered which was disappointing. Overall, The Royal Palm is a peaceful, character-rich base for a Galápagos trip—elevated by excellent service, comfort, and nature.

Royal Palms is an exceptional property that offers a unique experience immersed in nature. Guests can enjoy the tranquility and seclusion the location provides. The pool and jacuzzis are excellent, and the pleasant weather even at night makes the jacuzzis particularly enjoyable. It was a delightful experience to soak in the hot water during a drizzle, adding to the charm of the hotel, which is situated in the heart of the island. While the hotel is relatively close to all major attractions, transportation is necessary, and it is advisable to book a taxi in advance, as they are typically around 15 minutes away. The staff at Royal Palms are extraordinarily friendly and went above and beyond to enhance our stay. Their exceptional service made our visit even more memorable.

I stayed in Villa 6. The villa was spacious, comfortable, quite, serene, has a fantastic free standing bathtub. The view from this Villa overlooked the canopy of flora and fauna and the ocean. If you like nature, quietness and tranquility this is the place for you. Not close to to town which was was a plus for me. Great staff that are kind and care about your stay. I was absolutely stunned how pretty the grounds were.

Highly recommended. While not the hot spot of Porto Ayora and about 20min drive, it’s a beautiful property with a lot of space unlike the smaller hotels around the port area. The staff stands out as well. They are helpful and friendly. They will make sure you get to where you want and work out transportation.

All of the staff at the Royal Palm are amazing; they helped us to organize an excursion to North Seymour Island that we probably would not have considered, but ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The weather in the hills during our stay was overcast, but was beautiful when we ventured to the pier. Maybe because of the time of year/weather, the pool and hottubs were really not usable (not clean or hot). The on-site cafe was fantastic. It was fun to see the tortoises that freely roam the property. My sister loved her relaxing massage (she is very picky, so this says a lot). One of the highlights of our stay was a 5-course dinner in the lava tunnel ~ DO NOT MISS IT.

Do not stay here.

Wi-Fi was practically non existent. No cell service. I had a very difficult time keeping in contact with my family. Only a couple TV channels worked. TV’s had Prime, Netflix, etc built in but none of it worked. The beds were actually very comfortable, which was good because about the only thing you could do there was sleep. Staff was very friendly but only one gentleman spoke English. There were two ladies there who were very friendly but really spoke no English so when one of them was at the front desk, communication was almost impossible. Tried to use google translate but without WiFi, it didn’t work. I understand that we were in their country, however hotels staff should be able to communicate with the customers. The food tasted ok but I didn’t feel well for a couple days after eating. The menu was also very limited. Only a few things to choose from. I would not recommend this hotel at all.

The facilities/fitness center, tennis courts and villas can use maintenance/updating but it’s easy to overlook with the amazing customer service provided. The grounds are quiet, peaceful and safe.
