The staff members were great. The hotel is right next door to a popular restaurant, The Point, but the restaurant at the hotel, Eloise, was just as good if not better.
The location is great to be able to visit Las Grietas and water taxis are readily available.
We stayed in a suite with a king bed, and our only suggestion would be to upgrade the bathtubs or remove them completely.
It was the perfect three-day stay otherwise.

Wonderful time at the Angermeyer hotel. Staff was amazing and very helpful. Room clean and spacious. Breakfast, especially the daily changing juice and delicious coffee were spot on. Only thing we missed was an outside lounging area for sub bathing/chilling, other than the space in front of the office.

More 4 stars for the location, the rooms were ok, beds were extremely firm, we had an issue that was difficult to try and get resolved and never actually was resolved, food at their restaurant was great including the complementary breakfast, very nice that it’s five minutes from an amazing beach and 15 minutes from Las Grietas

Beautiful view and very friendly staff. You do have to take a water taxi ($1 and operates 24/7) to the main part of downtown Santa Cruz but the view is worth it! Also it’s across from The Point by Midoro which as an amazing view and food. I would stay there again!

Nice waterfront hotel with staff that goes above and beyond. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It was convenient walking to a beach and Las Grietas. Be aware that to visit the mainland where all shopping and additional restaurants are, you need to pay water taxi 1$ each way .

Beautiful location and friendly staff
The situation of the hotel is amazing. Just across the water from the main harbour so you can only get there by water taxi. We loved sitting at the restaurant terrace watching all the marine life swimming by. You can also jump into the water by the hotel and go for a swim if you want to cool off. The staff are all so helpful and friendly, we couldn’t fault the service we received. Overall we would certainly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Puerto Ayora.

Lovely waterfront location to enjoy breakfast. The staff were welcoming and accomodating.
You have to take a water taxi to and from the main pier of Santa Cruz which costs $1pp per way. The hotel area is quieter which is nice.
Our room (Pelican) had issues when we flushed the toilet and used the tap the room would smell of sewage. There was also a lack of power outlets in the room.
Food wise was very mediocre, breakfast was ok and dinner was average. The view is best thing about this hotel.

This is how Paradise would be defined
Garden of Eden with Darwin’s finches our companion for breakfast and fearless Pelican

Panoramic views of the ocean and moonlit windy nights to cherish
The staff were thoughtful and paid attention to every detail. They had a deep understanding and connection to Nature knowing what is needed to sustain this paradise
The hearty fish stew and fresh mango juice I can still taste

Highly recommend
To get to the hotel, you need a water taxi that costs a dollar per person each way. If you leave twice a day towards the city, you should consider an additional $4 per person per day. The courtesy of the hotel receptionists is evident and noteworthy.
The breakfast is reasonable. There is not much choice, but you will not leave hungry.
The room itself is spacious, clean and quiet.
Throughout the 5 days there were small ants in the bathroom. I commented on this, but it was not fixed.
The hotel is next to an amazing snorkeling site - Las Grietas. If you come at 07:00 you will really enjoy the beauty and quiet. It costs $10 per person for 45 minutes. For us it was worth it and unforgettable.
The hotel has a stunning view on the roof. We enjoyed it twice in the evening when it was less hot.
We ate at the hotel restaurant once in the evening. It was delicious. The price is a little more expensive than restaurants in the city, but it was worth it. Small sharks come near the hotel and we even saw a large turtle for a few seconds.
The hotel's cleaning staff does a very good job. The only problem is that there is no synchronization between your departure to the city and the cleaning of the room. Coordination in this matter could be improved, so that whoever leaves gets priority in cleaning their room.
Overall, our stay at the hotel was very pleasant and I highly recommend it.
