Exquisite Cuisine

The restaurant at Golden Bay, Muyu, is simply outstanding! I had some of the best meals here, including the freshest ceviche. Each dinner was a delightful experience, and the breakfast kept getting better with fresh breads, eggs cooked to order, and delicious fruit. It truly felt like a culinary adventure every day.

Stunning Views

I stayed in a king bed suite that overlooked the ocean and the playful sea lions. The room was very modern and clean, with blackout curtains and hurricane-proof windows that kept the noise and heat at bay. It was such a comfort retreat after a day of exploring!

Relaxing Experience

I enjoyed a wonderful massage during my stay with Frankie, the spa manager, who was incredibly knowledgeable. The spa itself was peaceful, perfect for unwinding after a busy day of excursions. I truly appreciated the attentive service that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Luxurious Bathrooms

The bathroom in my suite was gorgeous, equipped with a large, modern shower and a beautiful soaking tub by the window. It feels like a mini-spa with its spacious design and high-end amenities. I loved having a rainfall showerhead that made each shower feel like a refreshing retreat.

I had a wonderful experience at Golden Bay, with outstanding service and stunning bay views that made my honeymoon special.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel, with a breathtaking ocean view and a warm atmosphere. The breakfast was delightful, and the staff were incredibly helpful. However, the presence of sea lions nearby might be a mixed blessing, as they can be quite noisy at times. Overall, I can't wait to return for another adventure in the Galapagos!

This hotel is a lovely retreat right on the beach, with stunning views of the harbor and playful sea lions. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering comfort and style. While the amenities are great, the spa offerings need improvement as there was only one therapist available during my stay. Additionally, the rooftop pool area could use better loungers and shade to enhance the experience. Overall, it's a great place to unwind with nice dining options and healthy breakfast choices.
