I chose to stay here based on positive previous reviews and was a little disappointed. The B+B itself is beautiful with each room themed on an animal from Galapagos. We grabbed a taxi from the airport and found the location of the B+B handy for the beach and interpretation centre. We stayed for just 1 night in the Lobo (sealion)... More

I recently stayed for several nights at Iguana Mar Y Sol. While the building is nice enough, I was unhappy with several aspects of the stay. First and foremost, Luis Mendoza, who lives on the first floor, has basically taken over the common space for himself, and was both uninterested in having us use the space, and unhelpful in assisting...

As the homeowner of this B&B, we are disappointed this guest was not satisfied with his stay. However: ALL windows are fully closeable in all guest rooms and owner's quarters. Due to heating-at-showerhead water delivery, hot water is always available by use of this heating source (in other words, hot water is not delivered from a tank but is heated... More

I recently had the pleasure of staying with 3 friends at Casa Iguana Mar y Sol on San Cristobal in Galapagos Islands. Luis Mendoza was our primary host for the 7 nights stay and we learned that he built the house which has very intricate wood workings and decor. Luis also prepared very tasty breakfasts for us every morning complete... More

We loved the location of this hotel which was near the water and close the to center of town. However, be warned that recently, a carpentry shop opened up and the noise from the saw during the day definitely detracted from the experience. Breakfast by Luis, was wonderful though. More

I stayed here for 3 nights with my husband and 3 young children (ages 10,8,4) during a week long land-based trip around the Galapagos. San Cristobal was our favorite island and Casa Iguana was our favorite hotel. It was absolutely beautiful - hand built by Luis and Patricia with incredible care and detail. The view was amazing from the rooftop... More

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of an independent trip to San Cristobal. It was fantastic in every way. From the moment I emailed to book we were so well taken care of. Louis greeted us with cold drinks on the balcony when we arrived and continued to be a great, friendly host, with superb hearty breakfasts and... More

We stayed at Casa Iguana for four nights after our cruise. It was just what we needed to end our vacation - spacious and immaculate room, fabulous breakfast, and great conversations with Pat and Luis. We stayed in the Iguana room on the second floor. The room had a wardrobe for clothes and a mini fridge that was stocked with... More

My husband and I stayed at Casa Iguana for 2 nights before leaving on our cruise of the Galapagos Islands. We found the room to be very comfortable, the B&Bs position was great, and the view from the upper level of this gorgeous home - particularly at sunset - very beautiful. Breakfasts were delicious, with home grown coffee being a... More

We decided to head to San Cristobal a day before our cruise rather than spend a day in Quito just in case there was any issues with a flight the day of. We decided to book Casa Iguana based on the reviews on tripadvisor and we were very happy that we did. First off, like the trip itself, we did... More
