Lovely property in an excellent location right off the main pier. Nice pool and hot tub area with clean well air conditioned rooms. They use Elon Musks Starlink so the Wifi is great! Enjoyed omelettes, fruit, toast etc for breakfast and drinks at the bar. I recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

A very well maintained, beautiful hotel, located a 100 yards from both the main street and the beach promenade/shopping street. Some rooms overlook a narrow street with a tight S bend which can be a little noisy until the traffic dies down in the evening.

Great bar and pool

We enjoyed our stay here during a land based tour of various islands around the Galapagos. Enjoyed the pool and bar area after the days adventures. Close to the hustle and bustle of the Main Street without being right in the middle of it. My only complaint was WiFi wasn’t good in the rooms. Overall I would recommend

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location is the best, the staff is ok but room had not vent in the bathroom which is unacceptable, the AC did not work well, the breakfast buffet did not have coffee, just colored water with not flavor at all. I booked the hotel online and I wasn't advise that next to my room there will be construction work the hotel told me at check in🙄

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are great; clean, modern and a good size. The pool area is great, although on check in they said it doesn’t open until 2pm everyday. Thankfully we were able to use it before then, but that needs seen to. The big let down for me was the reception staff. They just acted so apathetic and didn’t give off a friendly vibe. We also asked to use the pool a few days before we checked in as we had a few hours we had to kill on the island and they tried to charge me for it, even though I had a booking. I made a bit of a fuss and in the end they agreed as long as I paid for my reservation there and then. I did not use it in the end as hotel Barranca across the road (whom I also had a reservation with) very happily allowed us to use the pool. I wouldn’t stay at Ninfa again due to the poor customer service and apathetic attitude of the reception staff. But the hotel itself is good and the breakfast is good.

Clean room, great staff. Would be nice if there was an airport shuttle instead of putting us all on separate $30 taxis. Myself and five other guests all had separate taxis to get to the same ferry.
