Royal Palm Hotel
Set amidst 500 acres of lush, tropical forest in the highlands of Santa Cruz, the Royal Palm is an exclusive hideaway for all who cherish nature and treasure privacy. Built as an alternative to visiting the islands by yacht, the Royal Palm Hotel richly deserves the accolades it has been awarded by the Ministry of Tourism. The thoughtfully designed hotel offers an international level of comfort and service, yet preserves the authentic character of the Galapagos Islands. The hotel comprises just ten villas, four veranda studios and three superb suites. Each accommodation enjoys panoramic views of the Highlands and is individually decorated with local materials and art. Fine food and wine are very much a part of the Royal Palm experience. The Royal Palm Restaurant offers guests the very best in Galapageņo and International dining and the alfresco barbecue restaurant and bar present an informal alternative for all-day dining and snacks. The hotel's facilities include a health spa, where a wide range of treatments and therapies are available as well as a gymnasium, outdoor swimming pool and two professional tennis courts. All guest rooms have satellite television, Internet access, direct dial phone, telefax, DVD & CD player, and minibar.
