Name: Red Mangrove Inn
Visited: Dec, 2003
Located: Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos.
Rate: $120 - 205

Website

Pros: Good location. Iguanas roaming around. Restaurant has great view.

Cons: Website misrepresents hotel and activities available. The interesting mangroves which the hotel is built around unfortunately create a nasty musky feel/smell. Very overpriced for what you get. Brackish water.

Conclusion: Would not go back to hotel.
