Accommodations

Do not ever let the fear of a hotel bill deter you from your travels to the Galapagos. During our stay we ran in to plenty of people who were completely satisfied with their accommodations on a budget (<$50USD/night). 
             We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Hotel Solymar and Isla Sol in Puerto Ayora. The hotel is situated on Pelican Bay where the sea lion and marine iguana population outweigh the human cohabitants. At all times of the day you will find sally light foot crabs, sea lions, blue footed boobies, pelicans, marine iguanas, frigates, etc. In addition, the cuisine is second to none on the island. Locals and tourists alike come to feast on the fresh seafood, steaks, and adult beverages. Please click here to read my full report of this unique hospitality experience.
