Sea lions and Sunshine

Right from our first moment we loved Casa Opuntia. The team is super friendly and really cares. They provided insight on day trips and even arranged in room massages for us. Loved our room which had front and back balconies and a view of the harbour. The sea lions were pretty noisy, but how could you not love that!

Nice view and comfortable rooms, well locate

The hotel is very well locate and has comfortable rooms. The view to the waterfront is beautiful, and staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good, they offer various options of eggs and offer to prepare something if you need to leave early for the day tours.

I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

We had such a great stay here. The staff and service was top notch. Our room was always kept clean and we had a beautiful ocean view. Breakfast was delicious and they even offer to go breakfast, in case you leave before breakfast hours. The location is ideal- steps away from all the restaurants, shops and beaches. I would love to stay here again!

Great location, close to dinning and shopping. We walked here from the pier after our ferry from Santa Cruz. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. We only stayed one night, so we didn't check out the full property and pools. We would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel in a lovely town

This was a great location for town. Easy to walk to everything. A pretty hotel with alot of it outside (covered with breezes). Very friendly staff. The pools were nice to relax in after the heat and adventures. I had things planned arleady but many did excursions right from the hotel. We used the family room which was perfect for us.

Beauty of San Cristóbal

Casa Opuntia is a small, quaint, quiet hotel with beautiful views. The staff was extremely friendly and it’s less than a 5-minute taxi ride to the airport. They serve a continental breakfast and they will prepare a small to go breakfast if you have an early tour as breakfast is served at 7 am. The hotel is centrally located and walking distance to food and drinks. Highly recommend!

Great location, friendly staff, no hot water.

Located in an amazing location towards the north end of town, waterfront views and within walking distance of most attractions. Staff was super friendly and met all our requests. Breakfast was simple but fresh. Yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs to order, coffee, etc. Two pools on the smaller side but my kids loved them. Rooms were simple but comfortable and clean. They offer laundry service which was a big plus for us. They kept our bags at the lobby since our ferry was scheduled 5 hrs after checkout. Like I said, every member of the staff was very attentive. The only downside is that there was no hot water in the shower. Is really eco friendly, but a little discomforting during chilly evenings. The temperature cannot be adjusted, is pre-set. I do recommend this property, but next time we might look into other options in town simply due to the shower issue.

Great location just off the dock. We were warmly greeted with a glass of juice and a truly lovely hostess. The breakfast area was overlooking the beach and the ambiance outside was terrific. Our room could use an update The bathrooms were original to the 1970's but most importantly, they were clean. We had a queen bed and two twins which worked for us but was a tad tight. The biggest frustration was that we could only get wifi from sitting in the outside hall or by the eating area. I understand the Galapagos just got wifi within the last year and this is definitely minor in terms of where we were at but it takes little to get an extender to have the signal reach the rooms. I had all my itinerary digitally so the lack of WIFI service made it tough. The location and the staff made this a good place. (BTW, not only was the staff great to us, but we met a fellow traveler, not staying here, who ran into a problem and this hotel staff took the time to help this person in need. Well done!!)

Super Lage, tolle Aussicht wenn man Zimmer mit Meeresblick hat. Ansonsten ist Sie sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Sauberkeit so lala, Ausstattung in unseren Dreibett Comfortzimmern durchschnittlich aber Nix besonderes. Zustand der Bäder nicht dem hohen Preis entsprechend. Fließen alle kaputt, Schimmel in den Ecken und einen Duschkopf/ Duschvorhang die einfach bei so einem Preis eine Unverschämtheit sind!!!
