Hostel vacation rentals in Santa Cruz Island

Dear fellow travelers, First the practical observations. The facility is well maintained and clean. It is also perflectly located, just two blocks above the shoreline walk. This made for a quiet stay with easy access to all the important attractions. The AC worked perfectly and clean water is kept readily available. Room service was discreet and efficient. They also offer breakfast for an additional fee, which is well worth it for the convenience, value and quality. Beyond those practical matters, the owners, management and staff, are really outstanding in the service they provide, being professional, prompt and genuinely kind. Their sincere concern for our well being and honest approach was reassuring and refreshing. They really did make us feel at home, and very welcomed. For all these reasons, and many more, we whole heartedly recommend them to others. We’ll definitely book with them again for future trips. All the best

Ariana's is located on the edge of town. The host, Gabriel, will get you quickly aquainted with the lay of the land and hasq maps to also help in that area. Breakfast was served at 7:30am. It was always filling and kept us going well into lunchtime. Sometimes we opted out because some tours will leave out earlier. During our trip we had a few setbacks (political issues in Ecuador caused some parts of our trip to be cancelled so we extended our stay with Ariana's. Also we had an injury which the host was gracious enough to help us with supplying ice for a sprained ankle and advice on location of hospital.) Overall me and my wife were very pleased with our stay at Ariana's and we recommend it for the value.

Great location. Easy access to town and the port. Good value for your money. I will definitely use it in the future if staying in Santa Cruz.

Gabrielle was waiting for us upon arrival, and we were greeted with a warm smile. He sat us down and told us the best places to sight see, eat and just wander around. The place is spotless, stylish and has extra little touches like gorgeous plants everywhere on the balcony. The kitchen area is clean and just beautiful. You have a view of the whole town, with the forest on the other side. Breakfast is included, and always filling. We were always greeted warmly with a smile and “buenos dias”. Everything about this place is perfect. Love it! Muchas gracias to Gabrielle and staff. 🙏🏽😊

The apartment we stayed in was fabulous. Bedroom with double and twin bed and AC, living room with couch, table and four chairs, well-equipped kitchen. Super clean and lovely. There’s a pool as well. Good location a couple blocks from the water and main commercial street. Carlos was responsive and helpful with recommendations. We were thrilled with the accommodations and would highly recommend.

This place is located in a private and quiet area. The house is in a very good constitution. Nice views from te top of the building. The host responded very quickly and was very helpfull. Taxi to the downtown would cost you $3 and save you 20 min walk under the heat. We were very happy with this place becuse it could be noisy in downtown at night.

Отличный мини-отель! Это не хостел. Удобные номера и великолепная терраса на крыше! До набережной 15 минут пешком. Рядом местные магазины с низкими ценам. Рекомендую!

We are a backbacking family (kids are seven and eight) and we really enjoyed this place. Great location, very friendly staff and kitchen to cook our own food in. Jonathan is an excellent host and very good in organizing trips. We leave this place with our warmest recommendations.

Nelly te recibe como en casa, es muy amable y flexible, te da recomendaciones locales y junto a su esposo están siempre dispuestos a ayudar, aunque esta a unos 5 minutos del centro, hay taxis todo el tiempo y una carrera cuesta únicamente 1.5 USD , el lugar es silencioso y tranquilo y la amabilidad de Nelly no tiene precio, volvería sin dudarlo!!!

Superfijn familiehotel geleid door Nelly met hulp van haar man en dochter. Nelly laat je meteen helemaal thuis voelen en zorgt dat je niets tekort komt. Heel goede en oprechte communicatie, ook met mijn gebrekkig spaans. Alles is goed verzorgd en de sfeer is heerlijk informeel. Het voelde echt of ik bij vrienden op bezoek was.

Recomiendo a la señora Nelly y su hija, muy atentas en todo. Súper amables y dispuestas a darnos unas sugerencias y guía de todos los lugares a visitar en las hermosas islas encantadas.

Nice for the price, good location

El lugar es bastante lindo y pintoresco, al llegar nos dieron muchas recomendaciones de que hacer, donde comer, nos dieron toda la información necesaria para tener una buena experiencia, la habitación era cómoda

Este alojamiento me encantó por lo silencioso que fue, se podía descansar después de un día largo de actividades.

Estadía en general agradable

Un hotel con excelente ubicación, me encantó que me hicieron sentir como en casa.

I had a great experience at this Airbnb. The host's communication was excellent, making check-in easy. The property was very clean, and its location was convenient. I recommend this place for a pleasant stay.

Hola, la señora Luisa que estaba en la recepción durante mi estadía fue muy cordial, me ayudó con sugerencias e instrucciones claras. Es un lugar que recomendaría y volvería a visitar.

Great location in the heart of Puerto Ayora, near restaurants, a bank, shops, & the Darwin Center. They also offered breakfast for a very reasonable fee & snorkel equipment.
