Galapagos Islands vacations typically involve a cruise, which can often be expensive, especially if you are a large family. One of the main reasons to book a hotel in the Galapagos Islands (maybe in conjunction with a shorter cruise) is because it is a much cheaper way to see the islands. A hotel can provide an excellent base for exploring some of the other islands for those on a tighter budget. It also provides an opportunity to simply relax on some of the many excellent beaches in the Galapagos Islands, albeit amongst the wildlife. There are hotels ranging from budget to luxury.
