Comfortable stay for a family of 4 with the 2 bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen although we did not use much. Easy walk to the port for ferries and tours. Several dining options with 10 min walk. 4 th floor stay was nice with lots of natural breeze

It can be a little intimidating coming to a new country so it was a relief that our hosts were bilingual and extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions. We were in the Galápagos for 10 days and had done no pre planning. No worries there because Donna got right to work setting up wonderful excursions to remote islands and even had snorkeling gear to lone to us. We walked everywhere but could have gotten one of the plentiful taxis for only $1.50 per ride. The food in Santa Cruz was so delicious and reasonably priced. Our two bedroom suite was very clean and comfortable. I loved all of John’s wildlife photography on the walls. The floors are thick square tiles. Air conditioning in every room with remotes that cool the space in minutes. Huge shower with good water pressure. We made eggs in our kitchen but ate most dinners out. The Ceviche! It’s a fish lovers paradise. I recommend taking boat excursions to remote islands with a naturalist who also takes you on a guided snorkel. John, who is also a naturalist, took us on our first excursion. So amazing! If you are reading my post I really hope you will decide to give this magical place a try. I sure hope to return one day!

Excellent place to stay. Walking distance to everything. A small panderia (bakery) a block away has the best croissants for breakfast. Donna and team are phenomenal.

I would recommend this apartment to everyone who wants to go to the Galapagos and stay at Santa Cruz Island. First thing, Donna was so helpful and always available to answer our questions, arrange excursions and taxis. The apartment is bigger than it appears in the photos and it is nice to have air conditioning. A short walk to the pier and the main street with the restaurants. The common area was fantastic for grilling. We stayed 8 nights and took day trips and were sorry when we had to leave. The snorkeling was fantastic: tropical fish, sea turtles, sharks, sea lions, lobster, rays, etc. The combination fishing charters and snorkeling trips were our favorite, as the boat went fast to the destination. Don't miss the frigates and blue footed boobies!
