Smack in the middle of downtown Puerto Ayora, the mid-range Hotel Solymar is perfectly positioned for guests who want to be within walking distance of, well, everything. On top of its ideal location, Solymar has nice rooms, a small pool where sea lions like to hang out, and an on-site bar and restaurant. Plus, it offers free daily breakfast and Wi-Fi. However, the hotel is awkwardly split on two sides of the street, and some guests feel that the level of luxury and services offered don’t match the sometimes sky-high nightly rates. Nearby Hotel Pelican Bay is much cheaper and has comparable amenities, but rooms aren’t nearly as nice.

One of Santa Cruz’s nicest properties, the 16-room Angermeyer Waterfront Inn is a mid-range hotel that punches above its weight. The rooms are airy and spacious, and many offer stunning views of the harbor. The on-site restaurant, La Cueva de Gus, is perhaps one of the best restaurants in Santa Cruz, and serves delicious regionally inspired cuisine in a relaxed, open-air setting. There aren’t any big-ticket amenities here, like a pool or beachfront, but the hotel’s tranquil vibe attracts travelers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerto Ayora. Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi are nice perks, but travelers seeking more on-site amenities should check out the nearby Finch Bay Eco Hotel, though it tends to be slightly pricier.
