Restaurant Services
The hotel offers a breakfast buffet daily for all guests.
The buffet offers a generous selection of delicacies from Ecuador, like yucca croquettes with cheese and sweet plantain rolls. Classic breakfast treats are also offered, scrambled eggs, French toast, sausage and wheat toast. A selection of cereals is always provided, such as granola and cornflakes. Fresh juice, coffee and tea is always provided!
For Lunch and Dinner service is provided either to your room and out on the patio, as well as in the restaurant. The chef prepares the menu based on what is available....seafood! From the Sea Sampler, overflowing with shrimp, octopus and fish, to Galapagos Lobster Au Gratin, there is a dish to tempt ever appetite. If you're in the mood for something more casual, the Shrimp Burger and Ceviche are local favorites. Other favorites are Steak in Pepper Sauce and Chicken Teriyaki which are exquisitely prepared by the chef.
Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
