The lodge itself is spacious and serene and from its perch, it provides staggeringly beautiful panoramas of the sparkling waters and barren wilderness of the Galapagos. In the heart of its own private giant tortoise reserve, these gentle giants will become an enjoyable daily sighting during your stay. To rest your head, choose between terrace rooms, balcony rooms a garden suite or the luxury pool suite. The terrace and balcony rooms have their own private deck and bathrooms, with floors made of bamboo for extra comfort.
