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.

Room with a view. If you are lookibg for a room with a beach view then this is the place for you. On the beach. Can watch the waves coming in from the bed! Clean + tidy. Check in good. Staff helpful. Would thoroughly recommend.
