Didn’t realize when booking that breakfast is no longer provided. Fairly simple accommodation.

Nice extras like hammocks, place to rinse and hang clothes, separate kitchen ( although just single electric burner) and outdoor table. Good walking distance to port. Clean. Strong shower pressure and hot water. Drinking water provided.

There were a lot of ants in the common area. It is a bit far from the town so I would recommend to the owner to buy a few bikes and rent them to travelers. Lastly I would suggest that they update the google maps location to the front of the location because when we followed google we ended up by the school in the back.

I loved the breakfast, the juice I had here was the best juice I had on any island. I also was grateful for the extremely friendly host. The hammocks in the common area were great for a late night talk with my friends.

Everything was great!

Location was quiet, just outside of town. Just a few minutes walk from downtown or docks. Breakfast was fabulous every morning. The owners were very friendly and helpful when our phones did not work and one of our tours was cancelled. They helped us book with someone else (and we saved a lot of money too for same tour!)

Julia was really nice and kind. It was the best warm welcome in 2,5 months! The bed was really big and comfortable. The location was good. 10 minutes walk from the ferry, but really quite place to sleep well. Also close to the centre of the town, 5 minute walk. I really recommend this place! Julia even came out of bed to give us a sandwich for breakfast when we had to leave at 5am for the ferry.

Internet was not working in the rooms

Very nice staff, lovely patio with hammocks to relax and read

Don't expect a nice view or a big garden since its quite small. Still there are hammocks if you want to chill.

The hotel is close to the snorkelling spot (playa concha) but still not too far from the centre. July, the host, was very nice and even made us sandwich for our way back to Santa Cruz since the ferry leaves very early.

Julie was very sweet and helpful. she kept the place tidy and spotless

The room was a bit small, and had no chair or table, although it had a fridge. The entrance to the property is a bit rough, making tripping an issue.

Julie was the person making breakfasts (different every time) and helping us, and she was excellent. She made breakfast early when we needed to leave for tour early, which was helpful. The grounds had a very beautiful area with hammocks.

Drinking water not provided. The hotel is well outside of town and the 15 min walk in oppressive heat carrying gallon bottles of water was not fun. Water is also very expensive when bought in smaller quantities. Charge $1-2 more per night and allow guests to refill their bottles.

Julie was awesome! She was so friendly, cooked wonderful breakfasts, and really made our stay. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. Plenty of hot water.

Nothing

Big clean rooms in Isla Isabela. close to the playa Concha de perla. Hosts are amazing, if you want to feel Galapagos vibes definitely stay at this place. Great facilities, outdoor hammocks, coconuts from the hose, his music, stories about Galapagos priceless.

We had such a lovely stay at Cartago Bay, the hosts were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and we even got to try a traditional dish called mote which we loved! What made our stay so special though was how nice the hosts were. The property is really pretty with a lovely garden, the rooms are separate to the main house and they were spotlessly clean. We would definitely recommend Cartago Bay.

Driveway was very rocky and my friend tripped as it wasn’t lit well at night. They had no bottled/sterile water for brushing teeth which would have been nice. We forgot to turn AC off while we went out for a quick dinner on a very hot day and they came in and turned it off! After that the host seemed very cold to us.

The hammocks and the quiet back yard.

Location a bit far from everything. Nothing close by The Wifi does not work at all in the rooms and barely works in the common areas.

Julie is amazing, very helpful and friendly

The place is lovely, but: 1) remote 2) very basic, for the same price you do get a better place 3) some big ants (the bity type) in the room 4) beautiful hammocks but no light whatsoever near so hard to use past 6pm 5) nice basic communal kitchenette to cut your fruits and nd refill water, but dirty

Julie is indeed a very kind hostess. Smiling, makes nice breakfast. The hostel is ok, but remote from town, nothing around. Just a couple of barking neighbours dogs
