Perfect family run guest house. Staying at Max's was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended. Accommodation is very central at all activities, and the room was very homely and comfortable.

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.

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

Max and his staff were amazing! So very polite and helpful with everything. The room was super clean, everyday! The food was simple for breakfast but also tasted amazing. Can’t say enough nice things about this place. I would highly recommend it to anyone look for a place to stay in Santa Cruz.
