Took over an hour first morning to get our breakfast (eggs and toast) which came out cold. Weak lukewarm instant coffee! Second morning no better, we asked for hot water to use our own Starbucks instant coffee, and again, only lukewarm."Reviewed October 1, 2026Roundtrip • Guayaquil (GYE) - Santa Cruz Island (GPS)GYE - GPS • Nonstop GPS - GYE • Nonstop$836$550found 1 day agoper traveler - BAY VIEW HOUSE

Unfortunately, our apartment faced the main street, so there was quite a bit of traffic and street noise, especially at night. It did make it difficult to sleep, so if you’re a light sleeper, I would recommend requesting an apartment away from the main street."Reviewed September 19, 2026Roundtrip • Boston (BOS) - Santa Cruz Island (GPS)BOS - GPS • 2 stops GPS - BOS • 2 stops$1,425$904found 16 hours agoper traveler - Hotel Albemarle Galapagos Beachfront
