Finch Bay Hotel

 

The charming Finch Bay Hotel – named after the famous Darwin's Finches abundant in the surroundings – is just steps from the beach on a private seaside location, surrounded by mangroves. Here guests can cherish the privacy, natural surroundings and superb service offered by the Finch Bay. You will truly experience a place of superb natural beauty and intimate connection with nature like the Galapagos.  At dusk, the orange-colored skies are the backdrop for thousands of Cattle Egrets that fly overhead on their way from the highlands of Santa Cruz Island to their nesting area in the mangroves at the back of the hotel. Blue-footed Boobies and Brown Pelicans plunge into the ocean looking for their last bite before retiring for the night, while the Night Herons awaken and emerge from the mangroves to look for food along the beach.

Finch Bay Hotel features environmentally friendly materials and uses natural light with large windows.  It has an unlimited water supply, as it has its own desalinization plant. This ecologically oriented hotel also boasts innovative garbage processing and recycling programs. The entire infrastructure, as well as the activities, are totally oriented to a concept of true ecotourism in a pristine natural environment.  It has beach front access, a large pool and outdoor Jacuzzi and is situated in a quiet location, with only pedestrian and bicycle circulation – there are no cars in the neighborhood. The hotel accommodates 42 guests with 21 twin-bedded rooms, each with private facilities and air conditioning.  Delicious healthy international and Galapagos inspired menus are prepared daily, using the freshest ingredients.
