"Arrived to an iced lemonade waiting for us by the lovely host. Seemed to be a family owned business. They were very helpful. The property was beautiful and the room was exactly as described. The air conditioning was amazing and kept the room nice and cool. Bathroom was sufficient for what was needed. Personally loved the large bottles of shampoo and body wash. Took advantage of the hammocks. We did not eat breakfast there (available for 5$). We just were not up or up too early for the time frame...

"A simple but perfectly suitable room for the price. There was initially a problem with them not finding our reservation, but they still roomed us and were able to resolve the issue within the hour. Also, our room didn't have soap when we arrived, but they promptly brought some to us when we asked. A fantastic location right near the dock too. Overall, very happy with our stay and would come back! "

"I highly recommend Maidith Galápagos Inn in Puerto Ayora! This charming boutique hotel was the perfect base for our Santa Cruz stay.
Location: Super central yet peaceful and quite.
Cleanliness: Spotless throughout. Fresh, modern rooms with comfortable beds and a beautiful pool area.
Staff & Service: The team is incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. They made everything smoother with great local tips and assistance.
Owner Nico: Nico is an outstanding host — warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He shared personal insights, arranged transport, and made us feel like family.
Delicious breakfasts, reliable Wi-Fi, and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect for families. We’ll definitely return!"
"Highly recommend this stay at Coloma Hotel in the sGalápagos! Señor Coloma was friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, sharing great local insights, arranging tours, and going out of his way to make us feel at home. The stay was stable and comfortable with good facilities. Delicious breakfasts each morning were a wonderful bonus!"
"We loved our stay at Hotel Cucuve. The interior design of the hotel and all it’s spaces are really beautiful. The finishes. Nice. The staff are super friendly, kind, and helpful. The room was great. The bed comfortable. The bathroom nicely sized with a great shower. We also had a big balcony in our room which was a great place to hang out after an amazing day. The other room we rented had a regular sized balcony which was still nice. Both were covered which was nice. I also appreciated that they provided a portable clothes drying stand with the room so we could dry our wet clothes after the beach or excursion. Really thoughtful. We loved our stay."
"We stayed here for three nights in the family suite (a newer building, a short walk from the main reception). It was excellent! They have a pool, a large living room, a kitchen, and hammocks. The room is super clean and modern. It exceeded our expectations and we totally loved it! Really good choice and we 100% recommend this place! They also have free morning coffee as well. Love Love Love."
"My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. The room was super comfortable and clean. Location was excellent, as it was just a short walk to just about anywhere we needed to be. Breakfast was great and it was nice to have water/coffee/tea and fresh bananas available 24 hours a day. Wi-fi speed was also very good. My only minor complaint is that there is very little sound insulation in the room. So you can hear bugs, birds, and people talking outside. So if you're a sensitive sleeper, it might help to bring earplugs. But other than that, this place was great and I would totally stay here again."
