This lovely apartment was booked for us through a travel agent and we were very impressed with the accommodation, service, and attention during our stay. We were a group of five (5), with a toddler, and found the space very comfortable for our four day trip. The manager included a toddler cot that was perfect for our two year old. We looked forward to the delicious breakfasts every morning. The oven baked french toast was divine! The beds are comfortable and the shower gets hot, hot, hot in less than 10 seconds. It was just what we needed after long days of exploring, diving and enjoying the islands. The management has a great working relationship with tour agencies in the area and can make great recommendations for tours, restaurants and whatever else you may need while visiting the islands. When we return to the Galapagos we will most definitely book at Torre Mar. These apartments are perfect for an active family who needs space at an affordable rate, but also wants to be close to restaurants and activities.

We recently stayed at TorreMar Galapagos and it was absolutely stunning. The service and rooms were top notch.

We will visit again.

Very nice suite and conveniently located. Nicely decorated with John’s works. Walk a block up to the market to buy fresh fruit and vegs. All fruits and vegs grow on Galapagos are technically organics since they do not allow chemicals. Walk a couple of blocks down to have dinners at the Kioskos. Take 30 minutes walk to the most beautiful Tortuga Bay and enjoy a day at the beach. It’s a good base for exploring all other islands of the Galapagos. Wish I can stay there longer.

John and Donna were great hosts, treated us like we family. They even hosted us with their family and friends to a bbq on the patio, complete with lots of local seafood. The suite was spacious, clean and comfortable. We spent a week there and used it as our jumping off point for adventures all over the area. No cars needed as cabs are plentiful and very cheap. I would stay there again and recommend it to any of my family or friends.

A great spacious and cozy 2 BR suite. For sure better than a regular hotel room for me. Good for families. I really like the location. It’s about 10 minutes walk from Charles Darwin Ave (the main touristy drag). Location isn’t so important because Puerto Ayora is small and taxi rides are $1.50, but being a bit off of Charles Darwin I think is better for getting a bit of the local experience. There is a ‘kiosk’ street nearby that is very active and has good food. It’s also close to local markets and stores. The internet connection is also extremely flaky. It’s a bit of an Ecuador-wide thing, but the connection here wouldn’t be reliable enough if you really needed it for work or to do voip. The hosts were also quite helpful and knowledgeable, even if our kids didn’t want to play too much 🙂 My favorite thing in the area is Las Grietas – so go there! (if you can hike over some fairly rugged rocks)

We had an excellent stay with Donna and John. Our suite was well equipped and described accurately. Everything we needed was within easy walking distance, and we never waited more than a couple minutes for a taxi when we wanted one. We landed without any specific plans, and they kindly arranged everything we wanted to do within hours of our arrival! They also checked in on us each day to make sure we’d had a high quality experience on the different excursions. We would certainly stay in Torre Mar again should our travels take us back to the Galapagos (fingers crossed).
