There are so many travelers who wanted to see the beauty of Galapagos Islands in comfort and style had chosen to book on the cruise ship or through the yacht because of the fact that the Galapagos hotels were actually overpriced and were not impressive too. But such is not the case anymore. Through the tourism efforts, the Galapagos services have improved and you can find a lot of fine hotels these days in the four islands and there are visitors who wanted to sleep on land and opt for the day trips in visiting the Galapagos tourist sites.
Before, there were just a few hotels in the islands; however, the current tourism boom has helped in the increase of restaurants, hotels, travel agents as well as other visitor services. What are the things that you have to look for in a hotel? You have to know that the costs of the hotels in Galapagos islands are a lot pricier than in the mainland Ecuador. Perhaps you will have to spend double as compared to what you will be spending for in the same hotel in Otavalo or Quito. As a matter of fact, the cheapest hotel may charge you 20 dollars a night for every person and the most expensive one would be charging 200 dollars per night. There are several choices that you will get to find in between but you should be doing your homework in order to find that fantastic hotel that you must opt for.
There are several amenities that you have to look for when searching for a hotel. One is the air conditioning. The days are getting hotter in Galapagos and air conditioning is surely helpful in most days of the year. Not all hotels have this though. What you may get as an alternative in the very cheap hotels is an electric fan.
The very modern hotels are going to have Wi-Fi and also free internet use for the guests. It would be great that you have this when looking for a hotel especially when you use the internet too much because those internet cafes in town are very costly and not quite reliable.
It is also great to book a hotel that has an ocean view. So many hotels, particularly in the more expensive options would offer such ocean view rooms if you choose for this.
An option for a hotel that you can go for is the Finch Bay Hotel. This is located on Santa Cruz Island. The hotel offers such serene environment. This offers 21 guest rooms and this comes with a private bathroom for each with hair dryer, hot water facility and also the soap and shampoo dispenser. Also, such has a bar, lounge and restaurant that serves international cuisine to guests. Other than the accommodation, the guests may also have scuba diving tours and also island trips.
