Concierge.com's insider take:
An alternative to the forced march of the Galápagos cruise is the land-based stay, and this Isla Santa Cruz hotel sets you up nicely. On the ocean edge among wild mangroves near, but not in, downtown Puerto Ayora, it looks kookily Disney-esque, with its red adobe and kingfisher-blue curves, tree-cross-section tables, fanciful domed roofs, and sushi bar. The 12 rooms have built-in platform beds, terra-cotta tile or wooden floors, and bathrooms that seem hand-carved from rock (but are fully functional). The hotel organizes a menu of activities: exploring by 4x4, mountain biking, kayaking, horseback riding, surfing, and even scuba diving. There are also catered sleepover camps in tents, complete with cocktails and electricity. Remember to bring your $100 national park tax in cash, payable upon arrival.
