Our family of eight (including grandparents and teenagers) spent four nights at Finch Bay before boarding our Lindblad expedition cruise, and it exceeded every expectation. The experience actually began months before we arrived. We had already booked our Lindblad cruise and were considering their pre-cruise extension for convenience. After researching other options, Finch Bay stood out, and working with Carolina Escobar made the decision easy. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive throughout the planning process. Her communication gave us complete confidence before we ever stepped foot on the island. Once we arrived, Alfonso took over and made us feel like VIPs. He was genuinely one of the highlights of our stay. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, especially for my older mother and father-in-law. His kindness, patience, and attention to detail never went unnoticed. In fact, every member of the Finch Bay team was warm, professional, and eager to help. The level of hospitality was truly flawless. We purchased a package that included airport transportation, and we are so glad we did. From the moment we landed, every transfer was seamless and stress-free, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience. The package also included the kayaking and Sea Lion excursion, both of which were fantastic. These extras added tremendous value and made our stay at Finch Bay even more memorable. The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect place to unwind before or after an expedition. We absolutely loved spending afternoons by the pool with a cocktail in hand. Speaking of cocktails...don't leave without ordering the Coconut Paloma. It may be one of the best drinks we've ever had! While beverages aren't included in the meal package, they were very reasonably priced and absolutely worth it. We also chose the all-inclusive dining package and would do it again without hesitation. Every lunch and dinner featured a thoughtfully prepared three-course menu with two choices for each course. If nothing appealed to us, we could order from the regular menu (with only a few exceptions), giving us plenty of flexibility. The quality of the food was outstanding, and every meal became something we looked forward to. Our teenagers preferred ordering from the regular menu each time, so the package probably wasn't as worthwhile for them, but for the adults, it was an excellent value. Finch Bay provided the perfect introduction to the Galápagos. Between the exceptional service, outstanding food and drinks, beautiful property, thoughtful excursions, and seamless coordination with our Lindblad cruise, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would recommend Finch Bay without hesitation.
