Serviced apartment vacation rentals in Santa Cruz Island

Torre Mar is a great place to stay in Puerto Ayora. The unit was spacious and clean and beds were comfortable. The hosts are very caring and responsive and want to ensure you have a good stay. Donna helped with our taxi arrangements upon arrival and also when we left. There are several units in Torre Mar. This one was on the fourth floor - I might have chosen one on a lower floor since we had to carry the stroller up and down stairs. Also the ocean view balcony is the photo with a small table and two chairs - we didn’t end up using it as it was too small for our group. The social terrace was on the same floor as this unit and worked well for us.

This was the perfect place to stay on Santa Cruz Island. Very close to so many wonderful restaurants, shops, and attractions. Also, just a few minutes walk to the water. We walked everywhere! The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! The host (and family) were all very friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend this place!

Very nice and helpful host. Apartment great for value. Quiet neighborhood, walkable distance to the touristic part of the town.

We had a lovely time at Torre Mar. Donna was great at communicating everything we'd need to know before the trip, and helping coordinate taxis and laundry service for us during our stay. We found the apartment comfortable and spacious. The AC worked great, and it had the best WiFi connection that we had our entire week on both Santa Cruz and Isabela. I loved how convenient it was to walk to the downtown Puerto Aroya, literally a 5 minute walk to the pier. We had excellent meals in Puerto Aroya, including crepes, two good meals at the Santa Cruz Brewing company which has delicious beer, a delicious lunch at Hotel Solymar right on the water, where we could see blue footed boobies diving right below us, and a delicious dinner at Bahia Grill. I would love to stay here again someday!

This apartment is as described. Easily walkable distance from downtown Puerto Ayora and many of its sites. Easy access to markets, bakery and local restaurants. The apartment was very clean, and as an added bonus, was tidied every day while we were out (beds made, towels replaced, dishes washed, trash emptied, etc.). Beds were comfortable, and there was always a generous supply of shower and beach towels. We did not cook, but it appeared to have what was needed should you decide to eat at home. Donna was extremely helpful, both before and during our stay. She organized our excursions to other islands (they were excellent - take her advice) and provided a suggested agenda for our time on Santa Cruz, arranged for a driver to meet us at the Baltra airport to guide us through the bus/ferry process and drive us to the apartment, and personally toured us through the highlands. She is a warm and welcoming host, who wants to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We truly appreciated and enjoyed having her as our host.

The hostel is a little far from the center of Santa Cruz. The room was comfortable, with A/C, hot water, and good WiFi. We feel safe and relaxed, and feel like the price is fair.

We had such a great stay here. The morning breakfasts on the rooftop were scenic and delicious. We had AC, hot water, and an equipped kitchen for cooking at home. Our beds were always made and the place was always clean by the time we’d come back in the evening. The place was big and spacious and I really enjoyed being on the edge of Puerto Ayora. It was only ~25 minute walk to the pier, which I really enjoyed! I’m so glad we decided to stay here.

Enjoyed our stay here.

Due to illness, we ended up needing to stay a few extra days. Rocio and her husband did everything she could to make our stay comfortable and to find us extra rooms.

Nice apartment with just a few block from the centre. The apartment was cleaned daily and laundry service was excellent. We could use the bike to move around with. Supermarket near the apartment. Electricy stove in our room a bit difficult to cook from but except that all good.

Very good accommodation, very pleasant.

Hi Karla. Thank you for the nice. I enjoyed my time at the Carliza II. I had trouble getting ahold of you at check in as my Claro SIM card had timed out. Luckily there was a place to phone from at the corner of Roberto Schiess and Duncan and someone was there within 5 minutes to get me in the building. I will recommend your place in the future as the location is close to the bus and far enough away from the bustle of Baltra Ave.
