Max and Lourdes were wonderful hosts. They helped us book taxi back to the airport. There was a free water refilling station. It’s a very close walk to the pier and very conveniently located. Breakfast was good.

This was an oasis every day as we came back from our excursions. It is absolutely central and walkable within a 1 minute walk to restaurants, shops, and 3 min from the port, yet on a side street so peaceful. Capitan Max was accesible all the time providing info, making our breakfast, handing us towels and a backpack to the beach. The place is so beautifully decorated, the rooms even have a hammock, and the breakfasts are delicious and abundant. Also, there is always avail water, tea, hot cocoa, and bananas on the counter throughout the day. Everything was excellent!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Captain Max B & B is great. Located in a quiet area but only a few blocks from the center of restaurants, shopping, and the pier. The amenities are great like all day coffee/tea bar, filtered water, a safe in the room, and a carafe of drinking water in your room. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. My only regret was that I couldn’t stay longer. This place is good value for the price. It is a must stay place if you are in Puerto Ayora.

Great location and host

Capitan Max was the perfect place to start our Galapagos trip. The hotel is conveniently located a 5 minute walk from the main pier on the way to Tortuga Bay. Max arranged our transfer from the airport and arranged another taxi for us the following day to take us to the highlands for the giant tortoises. We only managed to eat breakfast once during our stay as we had to leave early for day trips but the breakfast was good. The room was clean and pleasant with good aircon.

We stayed several times here over a couple of weeks moving around the Galapagos. Max and his brother were lovely, helpful and ran a tight ship! It’s also a solid central location.

We had a wonderful stay at Capitan Max. It was central to everything - ports, restaurants, entrance to national park (tortuga Bay Area). Breakfast was delicious and host was accommodating, leaving food out for us when we had early tours and helping us set up a taxi. Look forward to staying when we are able to make a return trip!

Nice central location to the property being in the heart of Santa Cruz and close to the water pier and water taxi. This is not a high end hotel but it is clean and the staff very accommodating.
