Villa Laguna

Villa Laguna is a cosy, family-run hotel in Puerto Ayora. Situated in peaceful surroundings, it is a mere 5-10-minute walk from the pier and Avenida Charles Darwin, where you will find supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and shops.

The hotel is set out over four floors (no lift) and has just 19 rooms, arranged around a courtyard with a small saltwater pool, where you can enjoy a dip after an adventure-packed day on the island.

The spacious rooms offer air conditioning, a TV, a safe and a fridge. In the bathroom, there is a hair dryer, and shampoo and conditioner in refillable dispensers.

The hotel also has a water dispenser, where you can fill your water bottle with filtered water free of charge.

Your breakfast (included) is served as a buffet in the small restaurant, El Manglar. The restaurant is open all day, so you can also enjoy your lunch and dinner there, either at a table inside the restaurant or in the courtyard.

Just 200 metres from the hotel is the peaceful Laguna de las Ninfas in the midst of a mangrove forest, where you can spot various birds, not to mention rays, small sharks and baby turtles, too, with a little luck.

If you will be visiting the beach at Tortuga Bay on your stay in Puerto Ayora, the entrance to the trail is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
