Finch Bay Eco Hotel, in detail

Overview Of Finch Bay Eco Hotel

The Finch Bay Eco Hotel is ideally located, occupying a prime location outside Puerto Ayora, on the south side of Santa Cruz Island, the only beach front hotel on the island. The Charles Darwin Research Station is just 15 minute walk away. The ecosystem of the Galapagos Islands is fragile and Finch Bay actively seeks to minimise its negative impact while also having a positive impact wherever it can. The Finch Bay Eco Hotel, offers an alternative way of experiencing the Galapagos Islands for those not wanting to join a Galapagos Liveaboard, or as an extension either before or after your Galapagos Islands cruise.

Accommodation At Finch Bay Eco Hotel

Each of Finch Bay's 27 Rooms & Suites has a balcony or terrace. There are 21 Garden View Rooms: 17 rooms with Twin beds and 4 rooms with King-size bed. In addition there are 6 Ocean View Suites: 3 suites with two Queen-size beds and 3 with King-size. Rooms design is contemporary drawing on the natuarl Galapagos outside your window. They are equiped with wooden blinds, black-out curtain, tile floors, air-conditioning, a private bathroom with hot water, hair dryers and biodegradable soap and shampoo dispensers, and a telephone. 

Wine And Dine

Delicious, healthy international and Galapagos inspired dishes are prepared daily by the Finch Bay's Cordon Bleu-qualified Head Chef, Byron Rivera, using the freshest ingredients – including many from the hotel's own organic vegetable garden. Vegetarian meals and special requirements can be accommodated, please advise at time of booking. The Finch Bay's restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel does not offer room service. When away from the hotel on day trips aboard the yacht Sea Lion lunch will be served onboard.

Spa & Wellness At Finch Bay Eco Hotel

There is no Spa at the Finch Bay but its possible to arrange for a local masseuse to come to the hotel for your treatment (additional cost). There is an Outdoor Pool

Finch Bay Eco Hotel For The Family

The Galapagos islands are a truly amazing place for young minds to enjoy the splendors of our natural world. The Finch Bay Eco Hotel is an ideal base from which to do this with its options for diving and trips escorted by qualified naturalists. However Finch Bay does NOT have a Creche, or a waterslide or a programme of activities designed specifically for kids. If that is what is required then the Galapagos islands generally are not the right holiday choice.
Four of the Ocean View suites are interconnected which creates the ideal accommodation option for families.

Booking Finch Bay Eco Hotel with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Here's what happens after you book a dive trip with us, before you fly and while you're away.

01

Your money stays in trust

Your payments go into a trust account, not our bank, and stay there until after your trip. If we ever stopped trading, the money would come back to you.

02

Your diving booked before you fly

Your dives with the centre or the boat, the flights, the transfers and the room you chose are all confirmed before you leave home. The driver who meets you will be there and will speak English.

03

A call before you go

Documents, visas, your certification card and insurance that covers your diving. We go through it on the phone, and you can ask anything else while we're talking.

04

On WhatsApp the whole trip

Wherever you are and whatever the time, there's one number to message or call. Flight delayed, room not right, a problem at the dive centre: the person who answers already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
