This was an oasis every day as we came back from our excursions. It is absolutely central and walkable within a 1 minute walk to restaurants, shops, and 3 min from the port, yet on a side street so peaceful. Capitan Max was accesible all the time providing info, making our breakfast, handing us towels and a backpack to the beach. The place is so beautifully decorated, the rooms even have a hammock, and the breakfasts are delicious and abundant. Also, there is always avail water, tea, hot cocoa, and bananas on the counter throughout the day. Everything was excellent!

I felt very lucky to have chosen Captain Max for my stay in Puerto Ayora. The host Pablo is an absolute delight, and made sure that I had a wonderful time on Santa Cruz. He arranged awesome trips for me, and had an insider's opinion on where to go on the island. The room was very nice. Clean, relaxing, good air conditioning. The breakfast was made to order which was great. Cannot recommend enough!

Liked: Staff & service
I think this B&B is way overpriced for what you get. Most of the rooms are dark with minimal lighting, not what you want on a tropical get away. Breakfast is very simple and is the same each day. We had 2 cockroaches in the room and one was actually IN the bed. I don’t know if cockroaches are just part of the deal being on protected eco land but to me it always screams “dirty”. Positive: within walking distance to everything.
