This hotel is adorable! I love that they provide 24/7 filtered water, coffee, and snacks. The location is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and tour docks, yet it's situated away from noisy central areas.

Our stay at Hotel Cucuve was truly fantastic! The room itself was very comfortable, simple yet stylish furnishings, with AC and a ceiling fan, USB charging plugs throughout, a very spacious balcony with hammock to relax in and several seats. All of the staff were super friendly and very helpful in trying to locate our lost luggage and have it delivered to the hotel. Coffee and tea and some light snacks are available at any time free of charge, and if leaving early in the morning for day excursions, you can even request a packed up breakfast in advance. Definitely felt like our home away from home during our time there, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Puerto ayora.

Nice staff and location is good, but of course there's more noise because of it. Internet is spotty. We would stay there again and the Expedia Gold status was a plus.

Fantastic Stay!

Fantastic staff and incredible stay! We splurged on this about a week before the trip after realizing the apartment we rented didn’t really capture our needs. The breakfast was delicious, very helpful staff that have discount coupons for some of the best restaurants on the island. The taxi service that you can add from the airport to the hotel made our arrival extra special. 10/10 would stay again!
