Casa Playa Mann Inn is the best little almost-hidden BnB on San Cristobal island. It sits on a low hill with my ocean-view room with its private terrace was great for watching the multicolored sunsets. Jose and everyone there will make sure you have anything you need including a great breakfast before heading out for a daily tour of the island. Their courtyard is a quaint unique gathering place before and after exploring all 360° island of adventures. Just a quiet and family-owned Inn that makes you feel as if you are the only person staying there.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The photos are accurate, it is not a new modern hotel, but the very few new modern hotels on San Cristobal will be very expensive and not worth it in my opinion. This is a very clean, very well maintained and delightful place to stay. Everything from air conditioning, WIFI, hot water, all worked very well. The view is amazing (we paid for the ocean view). The room is quite spacious and the property very quaint with places to rest/read. A great thing about the hotel is that it is a 5 minute walk to downtown which is very close but away from the bustle. Also it is very close (few minutes) from Playa Mann which is delightful with people and sea lions hanging on the beach together. Much better than any downtown beaches. Best of all Jose, Lu, and Lucia were the best hosts; they made us feel like family and could not be more helpful for any questions, planning, arranging a box breakfast when we were early, etc. This family-run place makes you feel that no detail is left untended to. They helped us coordinate laundry service for a small fee that made our stay easier. No regrets. Trust the reviews - you won't regret staying here! Also - do not be scared off by Ecuador mainland crime. We Stayed at the airport hotel in Guayaquil and felt safe. Just book the Holiday Inn property right almost attached to the Guayaquil airport and you'll be good. So many are avoiding the Galapagos right now due to the mainland issues, which is a shame as it is hurting the locals and a missed opportunity to visit. The airport hotel we used in Guayaquil was literally adjacent to the airport and has reliable pickup with hotel van. Supporting local businesses like this family-run hotel is a great way to experience the true warmth of the Galapagos while contributing to the local community. We felt so sorry to leave and so happy we chose this place.

The location was perfect for us. It was very easy to walk to the main town, while also being just across from the beach and near the walking paths to snorkeling and the Interpretation center. Jose and Lucia were extremely welcoming hosts, and they helped us with details for tours and transfers. we really enjoyed chatting with them. Breakfast was also excellent and fueled us well for our adventures. we also loved our large balcony with hammocks-a perfect place for a vacation siesta! I would 100% return.

There was nothing we did not like.

Luciana and Jose made us feel super welcome. The small family-run hotel only has 6 rooms, making the experience very personal and friendly. The location is the best, close to the beach where you can swim with sea lions. Definitely book the sea-view room with terrace. We loved to relax up there and enjoy the views. The breakfast is served at the table with fresh regional products. Couldn’t wish for more. Very recommended!

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, relaxed atmosphere, great location near the local beaches and sunset spots and not far from town centre, spacious rooms with big beds, delicious breakfast, exquisite offers of equipment (bathing towels, snorkelling masks, clothes hanger), impressive photos of local wildlife, good network with expert guides and drivers, feels like home

The noise of trucks passing by at 6 am.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Playa Mann. Great communication from José prior to our stay and he arranged the 360 tour for us which we enjoyed. The room is spotless and the view was amazing. We loved relaxing in the hammocks on the balcony. Breakfast was also lovely, we really enjoyed the fresh juice in the mornings and the various jams. We appreciated all the recommendations from Jose and Lucia of what to do and where to eat whilst there. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if on San Cristobal. The location is great, just a 5 minute walk to the centre and also close to Playa Mann and the interpretation centre.

Luciana, Jose, Mariana all made our stay special from start to finish. This is a family owned and run property with just 6 rooms. They immediately make you feel at home and assist with anything needed. My husband wasn’t feeling well and they went above and beyond to provide him with ginger tea and make sure we had what we needed. Thank you for your hospitality and an unforgettable stay!

All was great!

The hotel is beautiful - one building but each room seems more private, having their own porches. Mostly, though, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, reserving cabs, helping to book day tours, restaurant recommendations, etc. If we needed anything, they were there for us, always, and without being overbearing. Incredible location in San Cristóbal.

Nothing. Perfect stay.

excellent location within a 2 minute walk to the beach area and 5 minutes walk to central village core. Couldn’t be better located. Mix a drink and wander down to Playa Mann Beach for the sunset and be entertained by the sea lions. Totally safe area; but so is the whole island likely .Also a stone’s throw to the interpretation centre and a couple of short interesting hikes to a lookout and another more remote beach. But best were Jose and his wife who run this small family business at the highest professional level. Jose will call and confirm or arrange anything you might ask him to do, even if has nothing to do with his hotel business. And if you only speak English, both Jose and his wife are fluent in English. Jose spent some time in Canada as an Exchange student. Quiet and unassuming but firm and persuasive when advocating for your interests with third parties. Could not have been more impressed and this was not our first travel rodeo. And rarely take the time to do reviews.

Nothing remotely eligible for complaint.

We cannot say enough good things about staying here. First of all, the owners Jose and Lucia are some of the kindest and warmest people we have ever met. We had so many questions before and during our trip and Jose was absolutely amazing. His recommendations and connections throughout the island were invaluable. He would start working on things for us if he knew we had an issue before we even asked him to. We have traveled extensively internationally and he has been the most helpful person we have ever come across. The breakfast every morning was absolutely delicious. Our room with the patio and hammocks added such a special touch. We loved relaxing out there as we looked at the ocean and enjoyed a good book. The location is perfect. It’s a 5 minute walk to the main part of town. This was awesome as it protected us from the quite vocal sea lions that hang out on the beach all along the Malecon. The hotel is also closer to the lovely walk up to the high view point at La Tijeretas, Punta Carola Beach and the Interpretation Center. Amazing experience. You will not be disappointed.

Nothing!
