The hotel is just like the pictures. It’s close to the Darwin Center and we were able to walk everywhere. The owners could not do enough for us and SO kind and friendly. The breakfast was unbelievable. There was fresh fruit everyday with yogurt and granola, juice, unlimited coffee and something homemade each morning. One day we had the best empanadas we had ever had! We would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat! Thanks guys for making our stay so enjoyable:)

We had a wonderful stay at this small, family-owned hotel in the Galápagos. The service was exceptional from start to finish — the owner personally made sure every detail was taken care of and that we had everything we needed. The staff spoke excellent English, which made communication easy and stress-free. The location was perfect, close to everything yet still quiet and relaxing. And the breakfasts were fantastic — fresh, generous, and a great way to start each day of exploring. We truly felt welcomed and cared for. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

We had the VIP room at the top with a balcony. Our stay is only 1 day. It was a very quaint and cute hotel. It's 2 blocks walk from the main strip. The owners are super nice and kind. They literally serve you breakfast. Felt really treated. This hotel has an awesome history. First developed by a lady for those family in need, then covered to a place for scientists at the Darwin centre. All of the rooms are built by elderly mother originally. It's $2-$3 taxie or 10 min casual walk to the main pier.

Charming hotel

It’s a cute hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good and it was pretty close to the puerto. It was a little noisy at night and we could hear karaoke from our room, but it was a cute place with clean water to drink.

Our stay at the Maidith Galapagos Inn was wonderful. The owner and his son showered us with greetings and continued with hosting us as if we were visiting family. The inn itself was eye catching with great attention to detail in its design and aesthetics. The room was comfortable and clean. We especially appreciated the fresh water jug in our room for unlimited filtered water. The breakfasts were amazing. We felt like we were eating in a family kitchen from a cook who prepared each meal with love. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The owners gave us quality tips on local eating options, activities, and the area itself. They recommended a bakery close by that we frequented many times on our stay. I highly recommend this inn to anyone visiting Santa Cruz. You will be treated like family. I give this property the highest marks possible. I am a world traveler and this place tops even my previous favorite stays.
Cozy pool patio...great for an afternoon snack.
Breakfast with the BEST croissant (so flaky and buttery) I've ever eaten.
Our last breakfast...french toast and eggs. Always served with fruit, yogurt, coffee and juice. Yummy!
Pool...so refreshing.
