Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel
Ecuador
Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel sits at Punta Estrada on Santa Cruz Island, across the bay from Puerto Ayora. A short water-taxi crossing leads to the beachfront property, where accommodation includes ocean-view suites with private balconies and rooms with outdoor spaces and hammocks. The hotel’s Sea Lion yacht takes guests on day excursions to islands such as North Seymour, Bartolomé, South Plaza and Santa Fe. A spa provides a quieter counterpoint to these trips. In the restaurant, vegetables and herbs from the hotel’s own garden contribute to food that combines Ecuadorian ingredients with international techniques.
