Hotel la Jungla

The location is excellent truly but the place is very run down with no breakfast included which is very rare in Galapagos. A lot of insects in the rooms at night so no sleep, Rooms are more than basic, no shampoo, towels with tears etc and the whole property is super run down…would not recommend it…

A few days before my trip, I upgraded to the triple room with ocean view and I'm so glad I did. I ended up in a room with 4 beds on the top floor (the Escalesia room) and it had a spectacular view of the beach. On my first morning, I watched blue-footed boobies diving for breakfast without leaving my room, and on my last morning, I watched the beautiful sunrise over the ocean from my bed! It's a very nice-sized room with plenty of hooks for hanging clothes & wet items to dry. Abel is an accommodating host. He both picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. If he's not around on property, he's easy to get ahold of via WhatsApp. The WiFi worked great on property and in my room. Nice warm water in the shower. I loved La Jungla's quiet location near the end of the beach—right next to the walkway along the wetlands toward the tortoise center and at the beginning of the trek to the Wall of Tears. It was really like having a private beach just steps away. And the walk into the main part of town is very short. The property doesn't serve breakfast, but there is a kitchen to make your own meals, and a cafe very close (right next to Iguana Crossing hotel), where I enjoyed two delicious breakfasts. In the evening, it was lovely to enjoy empanadas & a cerveza from Yummy Yummy or a coconut at the Pink Iguana and then stroll the peaceful beach as I watched sea life activity on my way back to La Jungla.

Very pleasant 2 night stay here. The owner is very helpful and sorted out an incorrect charge so I didn’t have to pay as much. The communal kitchen is basic (cooker, fridge/freezer) but has enough facilities to cook a simple meal. The rooms are simple but comfortable, the bed was comfy, the a/c worked well, and of course you have the lovely view of the beach. My only grumble was on one occasion there was no hot water, but overall it was very good, far enough from the noise of bars and music but close enough to walk to and enjoy. In the morning just as the road turns to head into town, about 50m from the hotel you can watch maybe 100 iguanas cross the road to make their way to the sea

A little walk from the port but it is quiet place and an excellent location on the beach. The town is not that big so one can walk everywhere. This is an island where it is very hard to find real coffee so ask before you pay a lot of money for Nescafe! The owner was nice to call a taxi the night before but the taxi never came...so if you have some luggage to carry to the port, put it on your back and walk. Don't count on taxis.

This is not an upscale hotel. We had what looked to be termite droppings in the room, and the windows were a bit clouded. Also don't expect good internet. But that said, we would absolutely stay there again. The location, just back from the beach, is amazing. The beach is great for surfing and boogie boarding or just enjoying a soak. It's a very easy walk into town (dodging marine lizards along the way) but far enough away to be absolutely quiet at night. They would also serve breakfast for $5, and there were kitchen facilities to enjoy.
