La Peregrina Galapagos B&B — Hotel in Parroquia Bella Vista

I visited the Galapagos Islands in December on a land based journey and was looking for affordable accomodation that is still comfortable enough. I could not have made a better choice than La Peregrina! I wrote to them to ask about available rooms and rates and got a very fast answer by Ingela, she was very helpful with other recommendations as well. On the day I arrived, check in by Jasmin was quick and smooth and very friendly. I had booked a single room, which could easily fit two persons, was very clean with a nice small bathroom, a tv (I never turned it on), fluffy towels, a very comfortable bed and a wonderful small balcony that looked out to the beautiful gardens. I sat there each evening to enjoy a drink and watch some news on the internet (which was no problem - the wifi is slow, but nevertheless it was working well). The breakfast was very good, too, with bread and jam, an egg dish each morning, fruits, coffee and juice, and served in an half-open area looking to the gardens as well.|On my check-out day, I could store my luggage safely at the reception area and walk to the beach again before taking the afternoon ferry to San Cristobal.|Overall, this was the perfect start to my first visit to the amazing Galapagos Islands. Very centrally located (actually in the middle of everything and still so quiet at night), very friendly people working there and fantastic value for money. I would go back in...

In the central of Puerto Ayora lies this beautiful garden hotel called La Peregrina. It’s a family owned and driven B&B with wonderful and helpful staff. The rooms were clean and neat, they all had Air Conditioning.The establishment co-exists with this flourishing and colorful garden that is being tended to by the owners. All the rooms have a patio or some kind of outside area which is perfect for kicking your feet up after a long day of adventures in the Galapagos. ||They make the breakfast fresh every morning and by that I don’t mean that they have laid up a buffet, no they make it fresh just for you on your arrival to the breakfast area, they even bake their own bread. They have been doing this for 20+ years and are always there to help you. They offer laundry service, help you with taxi bookings, tips and trix on what to do and what to skip. ||All of the staff speaks both Spanish and English which is great for non Spanish speaking people like us. + Some of them even speak Swedish. So if you’re a Swede like us or from Scandinavia then this is definitely the place to stay! ||Joed&Ingela |Tack för att ni gjorde våran resan till Galapagos och tiden hos er helt fantastisk. Ta hand om varandra och fortsätt...

La Peregrina is ideally located across the street from the water in the heart of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos. Everything you might want is within walking distance: the boat docks, the Charles Darwin center, the fish market, the beach, travel agents where you can make arrangements for a cruise, great restaurants with open air dining, shops, etc. Yet once you enter the doors of La Peregrina, you are surrounded by idyllic, peaceful, well-kept grounds with lush greenery and gorgeous flowers. Even the birds enjoy lounging on the lovely grounds. The rooms are pristine white, along with the bathroom and bedroom linens. The staff is extremely helpful. The hammocks are eternally inviting. The provided breakfast is a perfect way to start your day and engage in conversation with the other guests that come from around the world. The couple that run La Peregrina are absolutely lovely, very knowledgeable, and fluent in English, Spanish, and Swedish. My stay at La Peregrina is what made the Galapagos Islands all the more enchanting! I highly...
