Max and his family were the perfect hosts. This is a great family run bnb that is a great location off the main strip. Coffee was always brewing in the early hours when we were setting off for diving and tours. Restaurants and locations where tours start are just a walk away. Also very close to some very cute off the strip cocktails and food at bohemian bar and agave studio.

Loved staying at Captain Max's Hostel. It was welcoming, clean and the room was spacious. Captain Max is the kindest man and very accommodating. He was friendly and made a delicious breakfast in the morning. Additionally, the location is great and just a street over had a strip of great seafood restaurants. Our stay was great and the value for the money was excellent.

Very comfortable stay. Even with language barrier the staff did their best to make our stay as smooth as possible. Breakfast was great! Rooms were spotlessly clean and staff went above and beyond to help in anything. The location of the hotel is also very convenient for the ferry and all of the attractions in Santa Cruz island.

10/10 Exceptional

This B&B was a great find. Very convenient to the main avenue without all the noise. Less than a 10 minute walk to the ferry dock. Great variety of dining options all around and many shops and tour agencies. The rooms were very clean, air conditioned, hot water available for showers, well decorated and provided a very homey feel to them. The breakfast was basic but was enough to start the day. Max was a very helpful and thoughtful host when it came to accommodating us in the best rooms and on offering advice on excursions. I would definitely stay here again when i come back to Santa Cruz and would recommend it to everyone.

Lovely at home feel with Max, Lourdes, and their Son. Beautifully decorated, boutique experience. If we could have stayed in Galápagos longer would 10/10 book again. Location was perfect, especially for seeing the wildlife, ice cream, and quick 6km runs to the beach!

I wish I could rate 10 stars to Captain Max. The bedroom comfort, quietness, cleanliness, and location made our stay extremely enjoyable. But Max attentions were over the top every day. The best stay out of the 3 islands we stayed in the Galapagos

After staying in hostels/hotels on each Islands, we stayed in Capitan Max on our last night in Santa Cruz before flying home. This B&B was fantastic. The shower was wonderful with great water pressure, the room was clean, the free waters coffee, ad fruit at any time was amazing, and the hammock in the room was a great touch. Not only that, but the owners were incredibly nice and accommodating, allowing us to check in a bit early after arriving from the ferry so that we could put our stuff down. The complimentary breakfast was also very delicious. This B&B is conveniently located next to a lot of places and is very close to the ferry. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Santa Cruz.

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. The room was super comfortable and clean. Location was excellent, as it was just a short walk to just about anywhere we needed to be. Breakfast was great and it was nice to have water/coffee/tea and fresh bananas available 24 hours a day. Wi-fi speed was also very good. My only minor complaint is that there is very little sound insulation in the room. So you can hear bugs, birds, and people talking outside. So if you're a sensitive sleeper, it might help to bring earplugs. But other than that, this place was great and I would totally stay here again.
