Vacation rentals with a pool in Santa Cruz Island

This place is pristine! We felt like home and the pool was so refreshing at the end of the day! Comfortable beds, with fresh a/c rooms. Quiet neighborhood. The kitchen very well equipped (better than my at home). Definitely, a place I would recommend to anyone and that I would come back.

Above and beyond a wonderful place! Our family of two adults and two teenagers stayed 10 days at the Galapagos Cottages. Upon arrival we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, the hostess, Ximena greeted us with a smile and gave us tips for enjoying our stay, suggesting the good spots to explore in the area. We were pleasantly greeted by milk, cookies, coffee and fresh fruit stocked in the kitchen. Rosita, the housekeeper made sure our house was cleaned each day & even did our laundry!! We received first class, 5 star treatment. The location is the best in the area for walking to anything you want. The sign leading to Tortuga is outside the wall of the casa, that's how close! If you are looking to stay in Santa Cruz, you will not regret booking this place to stay. Oh and did I mention, very affordable for everything you get? A private pool, lavish outdoor space, terraces with hammocks for watching the sun rise. The best place we have stayed in the world by far. Thank you GC!!

Ximena and Charles were really great hosts. It was our first time visiting the Galapagos and they really made us feel welcomed. They organized everything we needed from the moment we arrived at the airport, helped us book tours, find restaurants, etc. The cottages are well stocked with breakfast, drinks and fresh fruit. It was really an excellent stay. We would happily stay here again.

We loved our stay at Shangri-la. It is in an area that can only be accessed by catching a water taxi from the waterfront at Puerto Ayores. This is much easier than it sounds. Water taxis run all the time and we never waited more than five minutes . The trip then takes five minutes and it’s very pleasant. It is then only a few minutes walk to the lovely home of Shangri-la. Juan met us in Puerto Ayores and helped us with our luggage and the water taxi on arrival and departure. The house is great. It has three bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living area and an awesome top level balcony with hammock and spa bath. It is very clean. The pool is great to have. The kitchen is well equipped. We liked being able to do some self-catering. It is a short walk to 3 restaurants and a beach. Communication was excellent. Juan stayed at a separate (but on site) residence. This was unexpected-we anticipated the place entirely to ourselves-but was not a problem, and he was very helpful. Highly recommended.

wonderful accommodation house for 8, 4 couples travelling together in Galapagos. central location, easy walking to venues. We enjoyed the bonus breakfasts each morning. Will highly recommend. Thank you

Amazing ambiance and excellent service. Only complaint is partially my fault, but some direction on airport logistics prior to arrival would have made trip more enjoyable, I was unable to make it to destination upon arrival because ferries were closed, and come to realize this massive inconvenience could have been avoided by knowledgeable communication, most visitors are not locals!! it's not OK to assume visitors know these logistics. Staff was amazing and particularly Lorana was absolutely amazing and made our trip 5 star she cooked delicious meals at really reasonable prices. Thank You Lorana!!!

The best place to stay in Santa Cruz on our Galapagos tour. We were in an apartment with all the amenities, just as it is in the information they provide, with all areas very clean and impeccable, excellent and comfortable beds, common areas with a beautiful Jacuzzi pool and spa and very nutritious and tasty breakfasts, bicycles included in the package. They helped us a lot by contacting us with excellent transportation to travel to tourist places and activities such as visits to beaches, snorkeling, turtle ranches, etc., as well as contacting us with the best tourist options at reasonable prices. To finish, an incredible and friendly staff (Veronica and Xavier), the best of the best

Enrique Veronica and Javier were excellent host during our stay for the week. Not only did we have breakfast every morning exactly when we asked there was a variety of different items that were served. Additionally, Veronica helped out immensely with tours and even getting our laundry done. We would highly recommend this location and in future trips we will stay again. Thank you, Veronica and Javier.

This is a great find! although there were renovations, the host was very accommodating to work around it. Veronica and Javier absolutely made this AirBnB one of the best I've ever stayed in! William was a recommended driver direct from the host and he was also worth his weight in gold! Bikes were provided along with helmets and the Port is within 10 minutes walking. I loved everything about our stay and we will definitely return!

Great location, comfortable rooms, excellent service and awesome staff.

The stay was nice, the airbnbs are a block over from the main hotel. The pool was better than the photos & was a great place to cool off. Wifi worked quickly in the main common area in our building & there is a 2G router on the upper floor that allowed you to send messages. The kitchen had the essentials including a sandwich press that we used almost everyday! The unit was on the 4th floor of the building via stair access which gave us a nice view. Water pressure wasn’t great but we were swimming every day so it didn’t bother us much. The front desk staff were awesome, knew us by name & booked a discovery diving tour for us! Would recommend staying here!
