CASA DEL LAGO LODGING HOUSE

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights on Santa Cruz island. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful and our room was so cute and comfortable. This hotel had so much charm and we especially appreciated that we were able to fill up our water bottles with fresh water whenever needed. There were some ants on the first night but the staff cleaned them up very well for us and checked in to make sure it was resolved well. The hotel is located very close to the main street and our tour operators too, which minimized our walking distances. We highly recommend this hotel!

a delightful comfortable colourful place to stay -- I stayed in the Casa del Lago suite upstairs and it looks partly onto a garden and has a small kitchen area with a two plate stove and a kettle and lovely plates cups and glasses... comfortable bed and a delightful blue bathroom as well as a cafe table and chairs, a couch and an outside table behind a screen of bouganvilla. super helpful staff and a short walk to the waterfront

The hotel is very nice and well decorated with a lot of attention… also the owner was very nice with good recommendations… but the AC was very noisy and the room is near the street so you can hear also noise from the street.. and also the double bed is very small and very hard so not very comfortable..

The place is located in a decent spot in the Puerto Ayora town, and the room I had (Cucuve) had everything as described. Towels changed every day was a nice bonus. Cucuve is a small room, not much space for anything beyond a bed. As for the cons, there's multiple, which would have probably stopped me from choosing this place compared to everything else. 1. Deceptive pricing - I booked online through their own provided Cloudbeds website, and was quoted 74 dollars a night. Upon arrival, I find that they "accept" credit cards, but tack on an additional 10 dollar fee per night, bringing me to 84 a night. This is completely unknown until you get there. 2. Lack of provided water - After paying 84 a night, you are provided around 1 liter of water in a carafe, but are expected to go get your own. I can understand if this was a budget hostel, but once again. 3. No breakfast included despite clearly advertising it - I booked through their own cloudbeds website, which clearly states free american breakfast. However, upon arrival, Elena told me breakfast was not included and said that I paid a lower rate and don't get breakfast included as a result. There's some benefits to this place, but my experience overall was thrown off by the increases in rates and lack of amenities that would have made me chosen an entirely different place overall. Would not choose again as a solo traveler, maybe if you had a family and wanted to a kitchen, but even then, you're better off finding another place that has a kitchen and provides water and breakfast.

Un piccolo gioiello a due passi dal centro ma senza la confusione di quest'ultimo.. Tutto perfetto!! Le camere dotate di tutto cio' che serve con un gusto personale molto spiccato..non impersonali come qualsiasi stanza d'albergo.. Straconsigliato
