Medieval-style hotel built from basalt rock, located adjacent to Galápagos National Park in Puerto Ayora
Accommodations
La Fortaleza De Haro offers family rooms with private bathrooms and air-conditioning. The Tower Suite includes two outdoor terraces with views over the national park treetops. Each room is built from basalt rock, giving the hotel a castle-like appearance that sets it apart from chain hotels.
Leisure & Recreation
An outdoor swimming pool and a hot tub are available for guest relaxation throughout the year. The games room and shared lounge/TV area provide additional spaces to unwind. Guests can also use sun loungers and beach towels by the pool.
Dining
A continental breakfast with fresh juice, eggs, fruit, and bread is served daily. The on-site coffee house offers a spot to relax during the day. Breakfast is included in the room price.
Location & Activities
The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the main tourist street and a 14-minute walk from La Estacion Beach. Tortuga Bay, known as one of the most beautiful beaches, lies 1.6 km away. Bilingual naturalist guides lead dedicated glass-bottom boat tours and other excursions from the property.
Family-Friendly
The property offers board games, puzzles, and a games room for children. The outdoor pool is designed for family enjoyment, with shallow areas and sun loungers. Family rooms can accommodate up to four guests, and the quiet neighborhood next to the national park provides a safe environment.
