Independent Santa Cruz Island hotels

"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!"

"El Barranco Galapagos is a fantastic hotel! Breakfasts were delicious the staff friendly and accommodating, the location excellent for dining shopping and access to tours from the wharf. Our maid even did our laundry! We stayed in the family cabin which included a kitchen 4 bedrooms a hot tub and its own patio. It was spotless! We hated to leave!"

"The rooms were big and well kept. The staff was awesome. The location was quiet and we could walk to the beach. "

"Everything was wonderful, rooms are small but we hardly spent any time in it and the bed was just fine to fall asleep on after a long day of adventures! Rooms are well cleaned as well towels. Pool area is great, location is nice and quiet but easy walking distance to anything. "
