Galápagos Casa Playa Mann

If you're in any doubt about where to stay in San Cristobal Island, Galapagos, look no further! Casa Playa Mann is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at (and we travel quite a bit!). We were welcomed so warmly by Jose with a nice cold coconut drink and he took the time to sit down with us and explain the amenities. The hotel is a family business and we also met Lucia, his sister who was equally warm and inviting. Throughout our stay, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and lacked for nothing. One evening, Jose even made a pharmacy run to pick up some hydration drinks! Lucia even went so far as to put my wet shoes out in the sun for me! Trust me, they treat you like family. They are also available to help you book trips if you need it. Our room was delightful! It was spacious and looked right out over the ocean. The huge balcony was amazing with comfortable seating, a small refrigerator and even a clothes rack should you need to dry out a swimsuit. At night, you can see the distant lights twinkle across the bay. I wish we had more days to simply relax and unwind in that lovely space! The room and bath were immaculate with fluffy white towels, bath products, etc. Breakfast was perfect and our eggs were made to order. At breakfast, we also got to meet Jose and Lucia's wonderful mom. The hotel also provides drinks that are on an honor system. You pay for what you take. Beach towels are available for free and if you are in the mood for a yoga session, yoga mats are also provided! And last but not the least, the location is amazing. It's a short walk to the beach or the quaint downtown with its restaurants and coffee shops! I wouldn't stay anywhere else on San Cristobal or even on all of Galapagos. It was hands-down my favorite place to stay! I hope to return someday!

Great stay at the Casa Playa Mann. Jose was a very friendly host. Breakfast was lovely. Jose and the staff were great at smoothing out any problems with taxi pickups to meet guides. The hotel is in a perfect location just across the road from Playa Mann beach. A great stay.

This is a most excellent place to stay. It is a family run operation. They went the extra mile to meet our needs. They made us feel like family. We could not have felt more welcome. The breakfasts were great!!! They were most gracious. Whatever we wanted they jumped to provide.
