Nico the manager/receptionist/concierge was great. He was very welcoming when we arrived. He already had the beds arraigned for our unique sleeping requirements. He facilitated transportation to our tours and generally made the stay remarkable. The hotel itself was immaculate, everything was clean and sparkling. Though small the hotel had everything we needed and was located far enough from the main thoroughfare to eliminate noise but close enough to be convenient. Overall a great stay at a nice friendly hotel to enhance our Galapagos vacation.

Niko and his staff were VERY helpful and kind. They made breakfast from scratch every morning. If you couldn’t make breakfast due to a tour, you just had to tell him and he’d make a box lunch instead. He also gave us recommendations for places to eat and his phone number if needed. The Maidith was very clean and decorated in a way that made it feel like home away from home. Thank you, Niko and your Staff! We appreciate you!

Highly recommend! Nico is the grandson of the owner and currently running the inn. He was so lovely, kind & helpful. He's been on all the tours himself to be able to make the best recommendations and was so great in helping us get our plans reaaranged after we missed out on a day due to not realizing we needed to pre-purchase a TCT card before our fight to the Galapagos (hopefully this note can help others not make the same mistake!). He walked us around the town, went above & beyond in making gluten free accomodations for breakfast and our daily boxed lunch (so cute), and greeted us with a bottle of cold wine when we got in. I hope this family-run inn continues for a long long time.

The hotel is just like the pictures. It’s close to the Darwin Center and we were able to walk everywhere. The owners could not do enough for us and SO kind and friendly. The breakfast was unbelievable. There was fresh fruit everyday with yogurt and granola, juice, unlimited coffee and something homemade each morning. One day we had the best empanadas we had ever had! We would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat! Thanks guys for making our stay so enjoyable:)

It’s a cute hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good and it was pretty close to the puerto. It was a little noisy at night and we could hear karaoke from our room, but it was a cute place with clean water to drink.

Our stay at the Maidith Galapagos Inn was wonderful. The owner and his son showered us with greetings and continued with hosting us as if we were visiting family. The inn itself was eye catching with great attention to detail in its design and aesthetics. The room was comfortable and clean. We especially appreciated the fresh water jug in our room for unlimited filtered water. The breakfasts were amazing. We felt like we were eating in a family kitchen from a cook who prepared each meal with love. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The owners gave us quality tips on local eating options, activities, and the area itself. They recommended a bakery close by that we frequented many times on our stay. I highly recommend this inn to anyone visiting Santa Cruz. You will be treated like family. I give this property the highest marks possible. I am a world traveler and this place tops even my previous favorite stays.
Cozy pool patio...great for an afternoon snack.
Breakfast with the BEST croissant (so flaky and buttery) I've ever eaten.
Our last breakfast...french toast and eggs. Always served with fruit, yogurt, coffee and juice. Yummy!
Pool...so refreshing.

This was a great stay! The hotel is so cute and the staff is top notch! The rooms were spacious, had plenty of shelving, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is convenient, located near stores, Darwin Ave, restaurants, and bars. It is about a 10 minute walk to the pier, but they will coordinate taxis if you need it. They give you a discount to a local tour agency and restaurant. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. I skipped breakfast and told them I was going to Isabela Island and they made a to-go bag for lunch for me. Highly recommend this place!
