Galapagos

For years, visiting the Galapagos Islands has, for so many visitors been synonymous with taking a cruise around the islands  - and not everyone wants  that  -  not everyone loves to sail  - I remember so well the first time I saw my husband on a boat  - he turned green and stayed that way for the next 11 days  -it took years to persuade him to try a modern stabilized cruise line.

But with the soon to open new Small Luxury Hotel  The Pikaia Lodge with only 14 rooms  it's time to let the world know how visiting the Galapagos is changing.
Already there is the Royal Palms Hotel, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World  on Sant Cruz island and now  Pikaia Lodge, also on Santa Cruz island opens 16  December 2013; just in time for the holidays .  It's a carbon-neutral lodge  with infinite pool and spa that offers private yacht excursions to neighbouring islands and has it's own giant tortoise preserve.  The perfect way to see the Galapagos, especially for those that don't like groups or  cruises.
Stays are restricted to Monday arrivals for 5-7 nights or Friday arrivals for 3 nights 

\
Yes there are other hotels, with such attractvie names as Iguana Crossing, Finch Bay Eco Hotel, Casa Natural Hotel  so dont give up if you can't get into your first choice.
