Drake Inn | Hotel in Puerto Villamil, Galapagos

“Clean, beautiful location nice staff ”

“Don't be fooled by the flattering high rating! The location is right on the sea front but a little out of town. It does have a rooftop terrace providing amazing views of the Pacific ocean. There is a utility room offering basic wash/dry facilities and a useful free water dispenser to fill up bottles for the day/night ahead. The double room that we stayed in was very small and basic and by far the smallest we stayed in during our trip. There were, only 2 power sockets in the room and neither were near the bed. There was no kettle, however, there was a fridge. The hotel rooms were far too close to each other and the acoustics were terrible - every door slam, toilet flush and conversation reverberated down the corridor. The hotel arranged a volcano walk tour for us and suggested an early breakfast before pick up. We duly arrived early the following morning only to be greeted by a locked breakfast room. We then had to wait for the miserable staff member to arrive and unlock the door. When they finally arrived, the breakfast had not been prepared and we subsequently had to forego it as our driver for the tour had arrived. No apology from the hotel was offered. One day we arrived 5 minutes late for another monotonous breakfast. However, the staff repeatedly told us us that it was too late to have any breakfast. There was no leeway on this, despite the fact that we had paid for breakfast. It really wouldn't have taken long to allow us to grab a coffee and bread roll as the hote”

“We got the two bedroom with full kitchen. The room was very clean, each day the staff came in and mopped up all the sand we brought into the house from our various adventures. Location is ”

“Great hotel. Lovely owners. Great location. ”

“Loved the location. The suite was great for our family. ”

“We loved our time at the Drake Inn. We spent four nights with our four and six-year-old. The location was perfect. 50 feet from the beach. The staff was really helpful. They provided sand toys and boogie boards for our kids to play with, helped us arrange travel, and even stored our bags for us and let us borrow their outdoor shower after our stay was completed. We'd definitely stay there again. ”

“We had a very nice 3-days stay, all was very clean and comfortable. Room was large and with nice design i The team was helpful and friendly. Only improvement could be the breakfast with some cheese, vegetables and oats. We couldn’t use the jacuzzi, was in work. The location is fantastic direct to the beaches. Thank you Carlos for your service and kindness. Best, Jacky”
