Sheraton wins on what it prints. A free airport shuttle, about 1.0 km to GYE by its own count, and the one published rate we found for leaving a car while you fly to the islands.
A pool, a whirlpool and a 24-hour gym fill the evening, and Cook’s serves a buffet dinner. Breakfast costs extra — the hotel says “for a fee” and prints no price.
Book the shuttle when you check in. The morning goes faster if you’re not hunting for a taxi.

Which terminal
GYE departuresMeasured to the GYE departures area, where you validate the Transit Control Card and check in for the Galápagos flight, Sheraton Guayaquil is about 900 m away in a straight line. There’s no gangway in Guayaquil — your ship waits on Baltra or San Cristóbal. The Guayaquil guide has the check-in steps.
