Any recommendations for mid-price hotels on santa cruz, Galapagos Island for 4 days?

Thanks

My favourite is Hotel Galapagos - rustic, but right on shore, quiet - it is THE original in Galapagos. Likely $120 per night?

There is the Silberstein, on the main street, does the trick, small pool in an inner courtyard - perhaps $85.

Then there is the Fernandina, 2 streets back from the Silberstein, for about $65? Fine, with a small pool, does the job.

For cheaper, you can look to Lobo de Mar hotel - pretty new, but I don't like their design. Right in town, close to waterfront. Maybe $55?

Good luck!

Hi,

Hotel Lobo de Mar is a good option if you are travelling in a tour group, otherwise you will end up in the older section of the hotel (not bad just not as good as the newer section) - Just make sure you are charged the lower rate.

Other nice options are the Red Mangrove Inn, a new hostal that is well appointed is Hostal Mainao (very nice), hotel Las Ninfas and if you want to something a little bit pricy you can decide on the Finch Bay hotel or the Royal Palm.

Good luck
