Private apartment in Galapagos, Santa Cruz

KimmiRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I had an excellent stay at Lorenas's place. It was exactly what I was looking for, a one bedroom unit with a private bathroom and kitchen. Location is across the stadium which could be loud at times if they are having a game but it didn't really bother me. It takes about 20min to walk to the center, the mercado is on the way where they sell great empanada and plate of tripas which are a must try! There are a few restaurants right outside the house with menu el dia. Ac, kitchen, shower all worked great and bed was comfortable. I left to another island and when returning, I stayed with her again. Lorena is kind, generous and funny! The second time, I stayed at the other listing (room inside her home). Honestly felt like I was staying at a family's home. You can also purchase ferry tickets through Lorena when traveling to the other islands. Definitely recommend! 🥰❤️

Espectacular Villa surrounded by Wildlife

VeronicaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This property is paradise! Everything we experienced surpassed our expectations and we didn’t want to leave. Wildlife- From the moment we arrived to the day we left, gorgeous wildlife was part of our daily experience. Turtles, cows, birds including watching an owl hunt at night near the back porch, we loved being able to observe animals in their natural habitat. Views - This property has stunning views of the highlands and ocean. The sunrise and sunset were incredible to view and the stars are so bright at night! Walking trails around the house allowed for some fun exploration where we saw coffee plants, lime trees, and guavas! Service - The host provided high class service, and we felt very taken care of. They coordinated all of our excursions including chef service at the home. The professionally cooked meals were incredible and used local ingredients. We can’t wait to stay again in the future!

Tiny home in Bellavista

Tiny house surrounded by a cedar forest!

JodieRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Owner was friendly and helpful, gave me a ride to the house from Puerto Ayora. (As a solo woman traveler, I checked him out with a trusted local ahead of time!) The house is very private, clean, and comfortable and the nights were peaceful. Daytime was a bit noisy with local farm noises (roosters, dogs, cows, and maybe pigs?), although all you can see from the house is beautiful forest. The e-bike was a bonus and I rode to Playa El Garrapatero on his suggestion and got a taxi on the return.
