We had a short, but wonderful stay at the Royal Palm. The accomodations were beautiful and the staff were friendly and detail oriented. The food was excellent both in the dining room and with room service. While the hotel is a $7-10 taxi ride to town, and, yes, it is in the cloud forest, it provides a respite from the... more

I stayed at the Royal Palm last year. I decided to write this review because I love to stay at LHW properties and the only one that has dissapointed me has been this one. As we arrived we had to stay for the staff to work out immigration. We were put on a confortable room, but we had to wait... more

It’s situated in the perfect place to enjoy a quiet sleep with a wonderful structure. The villas are great I loved the Jacuzzi and... more

We stayed at Royal Palm for 4 nights and were able to enjoy three full days of the Galapagos Islands with tours. The accommodations are beautiful but what the website /brochure doesn’t explain (and should) is that the hotel is located in the highlands at 1500ft elevation.

We chose the Royal Palm because we read how luxurious it was only to find it was extremely remote and made it difficult to do anything other than stay at the hotel. We were very disappointed to find out it was probably the only hotel in Galapagos that did not offer excellent wildlife viewing right from your room. If I... more

We stayed 2 nights at the Royal Palm to recover from our long haul flight from the UK to Ecuador, before boarding a week long Galapagos cruise. We were not met & taken to the VIP lounge on arrival & had to queue up in a very hot airport arrival place for all the paperwork. We were taken privately to... more

Royal Palm was the base for our travels in the Galapagos. Since I have a tendency for motion sickness, I did not want to sleep on a boat. This hotel was the perfect alternative. The property is beautiful. The hotel arranged the majority of our excursions. Initially, I felt the excursion prices were steep; however, upon completion of the excursions,... more
