THIS IS AN REVIEW ON THE TORTUGA BAY HOTEL
This place was an absolute joke and nightmare. Do not be fooled by the pictures, they are not on the beach, they are a $5.00 taxi and 8 minute ride away, from the town center. The hotel is mainly run by a bunch of un trained personnel and kids that want to have fun.
The hotel is very outdated.
Don't fall for the All inclusive hype either
The breakfast was literally, 2 tablespoons of eggs, a cold roll, a piece of chesse, and watered down orange juice. Yo be honest,after experiencing that,I did not give lunch or dinner a try, I just went to town and ate.
As for the excursions that come with the all inclusive deal, we never left on time at 8am, like they said,it was always more like 9am and the tour will have you back at hotel for 12, so you can have there lunch and then that was it,your day is over. I DID NOT PLAY THERE GAME
I added tours to the tours they had me on, as well as I found some local guides in town to help me, thank God I did,because I was able to see and experience so much more this way.
I am in Galapagos to explore the islands, not hang out at a run down hotel,with bad food,and untrained hotel staff.
The rooms have no type of soundproofing done, I could here the people snoring in the room next to me,the noise in the hallway sounded like it was in your room.
THE STAFF!!
My second day there, I had a long excursion, so got back to hotel at 3pm to shower,take quick nap, and go to town for dinner. Could not happen,because the staff party harder at the hotel than the guest do. The literally play there loud music, on blast through out the entire hotel and halls, remember no soundproofing at all!!!. They run,scream,hollar,and yell all day and all night long. This went on every day and every night I was there, until about midnight.
If they would of gave me my money back,I would of gladly left the day I checked in and went and found somewhere else to stay, but of course that is not an option, so I dealt with it for 4 nights.
Yes I will definitely return to the Galapagos Islands, BUT I WILL NOTTTTTTTTT IN ANYWAY GO CLOSE TO THIS HOTEL!!!!
