2023 Travellers' Choice Best of the Best
Located in one of the most biodiverse and scenic area of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno in San Cristobal island, just 100 yards walk to the wonderful Playa Mann beach, this Ocean View Bed and Breakfast provides the perfect retreat for your Galapagos experience. Nothing will interrupt you except the sounds of the finches and warbles singing and Galapagos sea lions barking on our nearby Playa Mann beach. If you prefer wildlife over nightlife, this is the place for you. Snorkeling with sea lions, hiking among Darwin´s finches and mockingbirds, artisanal fishing, surfing, kayaking, and Galapagos Giant Tortoise viewing are all within minutes of Casa Playa Mann. As a local Galapagos family hotel, we want to share the natural beauty of the Galapagos National Park and Marine Reserve, but alsothe charm of local people. We strive to create an atmosphere of simplicity, comfort and elegance, with attentive, personalized service.

We had such a great stay at Casa Playa Mann! Not only are they so friendly and welcoming but they had great recs and advice on what to do and how to get around. They called a taxi when needed for us. The room was clean and service was great. The breakfast was delicious each morning!! Location was also perfect to the beach and to trails. I liked being a short walk from the busier areas—quieter and it was so nice to walk to dinner each night. Love this place!

Property's Favourite Review
We stayed in Casa Playa Mann just for a few nights in January after our cruise and before going back home. The location is just perfect, close to the small town and nice beaches. What made our stay truly exceptional and worth even more than a 5-star review was the warmth and service given by the owner Jose. You could feel he was always ready to help us out whenever we needed it. On top of that he is himself a naturalist and certified photographer so he’s really your guy when you’re looking for recommendations for activities etc ! We had a small local plane to catch to go to Santa cruz to get our international flight and had quite some issues with this company, Jose did his absolute best to call the airplane company, the airport and even more to make sure we would be able to catch our flight ! Rooms and breakfast also very nice and clean but I would go back to Casa Playa Mann just for the service alone ! Thanks Jose and your family, hope to see you again someday 👍

We felt thoroughly welcomed and cared for by Jose, Lucia and the rest of the family. Facilities, locations and recommendations were all excellent, I was so grateful for their help with all my hiking laundry, and with the flexibility around breakfast with trips and our flights. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Our group of seven stayed here after 10 days on a cruise around the Galapagos Islands. We spent 4 nights here and loved every minute! The location is wonderful--we were able to walk most everywhere or take a taxi if needed. The owners are delightful and go out of their way to make your stay memorable and relaxing. Breakfasts were amazing and when we had an early morning excursion they made us a bagged breakfast to take with us. It is right across the street from Playa Mann and an easy walk to Punta Carola beach as well. It was a nice hike to visit the Viewpoint on Cerro Tijeretas and we snorkeled one morning at the bay here and it was fantastic! The accommodations are very comfortable with great beds and plenty of room for storage. We enjoyed having a refrigerator and two of our rooms had the very spacious and comfortable decks with views to the sea. Our last night we were tired after a long day excursion to Punta Pitt and the staff were kind enough to help us order pizza for delivery. If we are ever fortunate to return to San Cristobal, we hope we are able to stay with Jose and his family again!!

What a fantastic place to stay. We have travelled the world and stayed in the best hotels but nothing beats this place. The views are stunning and the location is perfect, being next to the best beach. Just a 10 minute stroll into the main town centre with several bars and restaurants on the way. The rooms are so lovely, everything is clean and tidy, and the family who run the hotel, Jose and Lucia, are so genuinely friendly and helpful with anything you need. The breakfast was excellent too. I strongly recommend this hotel.

Great location and great hosts!! The view from the room was amazing as well and the beach was only about a 2 minute walk from hotel. The town is under a 10 minute walk. The room could have used some minor fixing of appliances and furniture but the view and the balcony were great.

This place is truly special. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the views were spectacular, and the breakfast was the best we had on our whole trip. But what makes this place one step above the rest was the people who run it. It's truly a family owned establishment and it shows through the thoughtfulness and care they take with every guest. Whether helping to arrange transport, sharing recommendations, providing snorkeling equipment or umbrellas for those rainy days. It was all of the little touches that made this place so special. We would absolutely return here and highly recommend to anyone else traveling to San Cristobal. Thanks for the amazing stay and memories! Dreaming of your chocolate covered fruit breakfast!

The best part about this place is the young couple that run it. They are fantastic. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, they make you feel like family. They made a lovely breakfast every morning (our favorite breakfasts of all the islands) And they accommodated our vegan diet. We were upgraded to the top floor which seemed nice at the time as it is a full apartment. However, it's hot up there and needs some TLC and updating. The views are great and the water was hot. It was a good shower. The AC didn't work while we were there. Apparently there was an issue they were aware of (not just our room) and did their best to get it fixed. We had a few fans going in our room as it was hot! The lobby area is lovely and the location is perfect. Outside of town but an easy and quick walk to everything. I would recommend this as a place to stay.

Casa Playa Mann in Galapagos deserves a glowing five-star review for an unforgettable experience during our October 2021 trip. Jose, the owner, exuded warmth and hospitality, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. He not only provided excellent accommodations but also shared his extensive knowledge of the area, recommending fantastic dining spots and guiding us to the best spots for encountering captivating wildlife. What truly stood out was Jose's thoughtful gesture of bringing us soothing aloe directly from the plant when we had a little too much sun exposure. Casa Playa Mann is a hidden gem, where genuine care and personalized attention create an enchanting stay.
