Capitán Max is a fantastic place to have as your base on Santa Cruz Island. The rooms are clean and big, breakfast is nice, and the staff are incredible. Lourdes, who greeted us when we arrived and was in contact with us during our stay was incredibly helpful. She recommended us things to do, helped us understand how to get places and even booked our ferries to the other islands for us.

We stayed several times here over a couple of weeks moving around the Galapagos. Max and his brother were lovely, helpful and ran a tight ship! It’s also a solid central location.

Capitan Max is located just off a strip of restaurants. It is an easy 3-4 minute walk to the main street and to get to the pier. It is clean, has friendly staff, basic breakfast is included - cereal, eggs, toast, coffee/tea, and fruit. There was lots of filtered water to fill your water bottle. Overall, a good B&B and would stay there again.

Captain Max was really good with comunication and arranged for us the taxis to take us to and from the ferry area. He was very friendly and helpful. The place is in a great location very close to delicious restaurants, shops, and the malecon. Nice walk over to the teh charles darwin research center. Easy to catch water taxis and tours. Downside. You are near the hapening area so it could get loud. The room was good size and the AC workes great. Would recommend. It is probably a little more rustic then some b and b's, but overall very happy with the stay.

The property was excellent and the owner was super friendly and helpful with all the questions we had. The property is super close to the main dock where all the restaurants and shops are. And is within walking distance of some beaches and the darwin centre. Capitan Max is definitely a great choice for anyone looking to stay on Santa Cruz Island!

The property doesn’t accept credit cards for check-in; something it was not listed on property details, you have to download an app to pay via credit card but the other thing is that wifi is horrible at this property; in other places the wifi works fine, and last if you stay in one of the bedrooms facing the street you won’t sleep after 5:30am with the sound of trucks, motorcycles and the elementary school in front.
