Large, Comfortable cottages. Great pool and courtyard area! We enjoyed the location only a few minutes walk from the main streets and restaurants. Ximena was extremely helpful, kind, and with great communication!

Ximena was super fantastic, she rocks. I am making this my future home base on Santa Cruz. The facilities are exceptional, the pool is magical. The supplies they provided were beyond. The beds were comfy, the cookware was high end. Seriously one of the most well run properties I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The pool furniture was super nice. Oh my, they have thought of everything !

Absolutely nothing. Far exceeded my expectations!

This is an amazing place. I have travelled to many, many places and this is arguably the most comfortable, clean and accommodating residence that I (and my wife) have stayed in! Pipo, the on-site Manager, and, Rosita, the Maintenance Manager, run this place like a Swiss Watch. Crazy Nice!! Pool literally 15 feet from the front door. Out of the 'Boom Boom' but an easy 6-minute walk from the downtown center. Five Stars easy!! T

Amazing cottage, very spacious with our kids & has a beautiful pool. This was our second visit and we would stay again.

Stayed in January 2024

Only thing I did t like was that the stair case was a hazard for young kids, so make sure you keep an eye on your little ones in this place. Other than that nothing bad to say

Good location and everything needed for a family trip and fridge was stocked by the owner. Ximena was such a great hostess and super helpful with everything (even did our laundry for us when all the stores were closed on New Year’s Eve!)

Stayed in January 2024

The kitchen was well stocked including coffee and eggs. The laundry service was a nice, unexpected touch. Easy access to restaurants and Tortuga bay.

Nothing to add

My stay at Galapagos Cottages was superb. The room was very comfortable, and the facilities are complete. We stayed for 3 nights, and everything went very well. Ximena's service was fabulous. I had already read good comments about her, and I can confirm that they are all true. Ximena pays attention to every detail, and I would stay there again at any time.

The host, Ximena, went above and beyond with helpful planning, friendly conversations, and communication. She even stocked the fridge with the basics before we arrived. The cottage was wonderful, comfortable, updated, and the beds were very nice. The pool was a bonus - clean and cool! It was a very short walk to town and restaurants.

Amazing apartment in a good location. Apartment was large. Place was beautiful and clean and well kept. All the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Pool was clean and refreshing. They had everything we could possibly need.

We were unable to book additional nights stay as Booking .com indicated there was no availability for the dates requested. We subsequently found out the room was available, but it was too late.

The owners are extremely friendly, helpful and generous. We were provided with tourist information and even some basic essentials to make our stay a 'home from home' experience.

The location is a little farther from town, but that didn’t bother us bc we like to walk places.

The host was so friendly and helpful for things like connecting us to taxis and excursions both before and during our stay. She had the unit stocked with breakfast and lunch items and even had a container of cookies and some fruit (we didn’t ask for any of that and it was so nice)! The cleaning person was so thorough and did our laundry (we left some money).

you can come back to the cottage and jump in the pool after a long day of adventures!! also, the air con worked great and the beds were very comfortable! they also provide eggs and fruit and some simple drinks and beer as a welcome starter kit! they also provide a great souvenir of a towel that rolls up small for the beach! we hope to be back!! ximena was an awesome host and gave us the history of the place!! it was the best stay on the islands! a short walk to restaurants and if you want to take a taxi to the pier it’s super cheap! like $1.50- however it is in walking distance as well, but in the heat we did take a taxi a few times to avoid the heat!

Stayed in March 2023

we loved the space we had in the 2 bedroom suite! it was enormous, our host left us snacks and drinks, the pool was so refreshing after long hot days of tours. I am in love!

Lovely well decorated and well equipped cottage. Lots of nice food waiting for us in the fridge. Very friendly hosts who make you feel right at home and relaxed. Great location to explore Tortuga Bay

Stayed in February 2023

The only thing that could have made our stay better was easier access to laundry, but we knew not to expect this on site.

My family of 5 loved our stay at the Galapagos Cottages. Ximena sent a taxi to the Baltra airport to pick us up which already set the bar for a smooth transition in and an excellent time. The space is beautiful with outdoor seating areas, hammocks on the balconies, and enough beds for my family to be more than comfortable. We also had three full baths which were very clean which made it extra comfortable for my family. We were able to cook in her kitchen and the grill outside -- Ximena even had some kitchen essentials like eggs and bread in the kitchen ready for us. She also brought over brownies at Christmas which was such a kind treat. The location is just a 30 minute walk to Tortuga Bay and less than 10 minute walk to the pier. Excellent location. We had a wonderful time! Absolutely recommend this spot.

The cottage was beautiful! The property is excellent. We had everything we needed. The host was extremely helpful and kind. I would recommend this property to all my friends who visit Galapagos.

Nothing. Best place in Puerto Ayora.

We stayed 4 nights here. Absolutely fantastic place in an optimal location. The house is spotless and cleaned daily. The cleaner will also do your laundry (leave a tip!). There is a big tank of drinking water which is changed whenever you need a new one. This really helps - you don't have to buy water bottles all the time. Ximena (the owner/host) is seriously the best host I've ever had and I've been traveling nonstop for 1.5 years. When we told her we were going to Isabella Island before coming she immediately offered to keep our bags. This was so thoughtful and helpful (because it's a pain to drag bags around Isabella and the ferries). She stocked the fridge with some essentials so we didn't need to go to the supermarket right away. She's just on the spot for everything! Finally the bed was super comfy and great pillows. The water is hot and maintains a steady temperature...we had some issues at other places so this was really welcome.

Ximena was kind helpful informative and the best host I could ask for. Will definitely book again
