El Arco de Darwin

Puerto Ayora

The air-conditioned units have a fully equipped kitchenette with dining area and kitchenware. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries, units at the homestay also have free WiFi. At the homestay, the units come with bed linen and towels. It was, despite its location, very central to downtown/harbour front. We appreciate a cheaper place, that is still within 15 minutes walk to the main interest points. This place offered everything we wanted and desired. The staff was very helpful and accommodated us in every way possible, that made our stay a wholesome, fantastic stay.

Alojamiento Sumak Kawsay

Puerto Ayora

Located in Puerto Ayora, Alojamiento Sumak Kawsay features free WiFi and units equipped with a kitchen, patio and seating area. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The best thing to stay with Luis in the "Good living" (that's what Sumak Kawsay means translated from Quechua) ist to stay with Luis and his family. We had such a warm welcoming and felt far away from all the tourism on the islands. If you are looking for a place to stay which is very special, go there. You will have to take the bus or taxi to get to Puerto Ayora where all the other tourists are and where you can eat/ take the ferries/ go to the beaches - but the location is not at all negative, for us it was one of the best things about the hotel! You are so close to life on Galapagos and far from just being another tourist. Luis cooked for us and hell it was so amazing. The best food we got on our whole trip and the peanut-banana-fish-soup was definetly one of the best soups of our life. Enjoy staying with them, we will always remember our 4 nights!
