We were able to walk everywhere in town from this centrally located hotel. The room was comfortable with a large bathroom. We enjoyed the flowing design of the buildings with lots of mosaic tile work. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Air conditioning worked very well but we were kept awake by the constant dripping of condensed water falling onto the... More

I went with a group of travelers this march to the hotel. This is a very nice decorated hotel located just on block behind the main touristic section in Puerto Ayora. Not so far away from the fish market and Charles Darwin Station. I had a room in the second floor with a very nice terrazza... where to read and... More

Attractive property with spacious rooms and a great breakfast included. Staff was pleasant but a bit aloof at times. Overall a good value.

Our room was very spacious, comfortable and clean with the air conditioning that did not keep us awake all the time. We enjoyed the breakfasts. The view from the large terrace right in front of our... More

The Mainao hotel is a very nice place to stay while exploring Santa Cruz Island. The hotel is more like aa 3 star hotel, but the staff is friendly and the rooms are air conditioned with private facilities and hot water. What I liked the most is that you can rest very well in the hotel and you can see... More

The Hotel Mainao was very nice. I stayed for four nights. Good location 1 block from the busy oceanfront. The room was very large and comfortable. A/C and hot shower were great. Breakfast was included in the stay and the staff was very helpful. Most spoke only Spanish but there were many others who spoke English also. They were very... More
