This hotel is adorable! I love that they provide 24/7 filtered water, coffee, and snacks. The location is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and tour docks, yet it's situated away from noisy central areas.

Nice staff and location is good, but of course there's more noise because of it. Internet is spotty. We would stay there again and the Expedia Gold status was a plus.

Fantastic Stay!

Fantastic staff and incredible stay! We splurged on this about a week before the trip after realizing the apartment we rented didn’t really capture our needs. The breakfast was delicious, very helpful staff that have discount coupons for some of the best restaurants on the island. The taxi service that you can add from the airport to the hotel made our arrival extra special. 10/10 would stay again!

A Great Stay

Hotel Cucuve was perfect for my 3-night stay on Santa Cruz. The room and bathroom were super spacious and clean and staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The location is also super convenient, just a short walk to many attractions on the island. I highly recommend Hotel Cucuve.

Our stay at Hotel Cucuve was great! The rooms were very nice and beds comfortable. The breakfast was great too - made to order eggs, fruit, bread, cereal, and other food options, plus juice and delicious coffee, The hotel manager and staff were very helpful and attentive, and they helped with logistics and any needs we had! I highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again if we return to Galapagos.
