| Angermeyer Waterfront Inn Galapagos Hotel Description |
A first class Galapagos Hotel built using lava rocks and drift wood to create a unique atmosphere and the feeling of being close to nature. With twenty-one fully equipped rooms, its own private dock and waterfront restaurant this Galapagos hotel features great service. Idyllically located across the Bay with splendid views to town and the interior of Santa Cruz Galapagos Island. One of Angermeyer Waterfront Inn's central structures is Gus Angermeyer's "cave". This area is now used as the Galapagos hotel reception and cafe. This legendary site was Gus' sanctuary; he was among the earliest settlers on Santa Cruz Galapagos Island. Inspired by Darwin´s descriptions, he and his two brothers left Germany in the early 1930´s, seeking for a life in harmony with nature, finding their home in Santa Cruz Galapagos Island. They settled on the area later known as "Angermeyer Point" on Santa Cruz Galapagos Island. Part of the original home structures are still standing today and are a main part of the atmosphere of this Opuntia Galapagos Hotel.
