This was our family's second trip to the Galapagos and we found the new Hotel Barranco online and took a chance as it didn't have many reviews. We had a wonderful stay! Everything is brand new, clean, and beautifully decorated! The location is super convenient to the dock for the ferries and excursions. Jobeth was super helpful setting up our trips and recommending restaurants. One of the highlights of the property is the pool overlooking the lagoon with the resident seals relaxing by the water. Was great to cool off with a cocktail by the bar after our daily adventures. Totally recommend this hotel for your family's stay in the Galapagos!! Thanks to all the staff for a great stay!
