Far exceeded my expectations. The view was unbelievable! The room was exceptionally well thought out in terms of shelves, space, etc... This is one of the cleanest and most comfortable small hotels I have stayed in. The family who own and run it are exceedingly helpful. When our transportation was late, they waited a while and then insisted they call a taxi for fear we would miss our ferry, and they were 100% right. And the location can't be beat!

If you're in any doubt about where to stay in San Cristobal Island, Galapagos, look no further! Casa Playa Mann is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at (and we travel quite a bit!). We were welcomed so warmly by Jose with a nice cold coconut drink...

If you're in any doubt about where to stay in San Cristobal Island, Galapagos, look no further! Casa Playa Mann is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed at (and we travel quite a bit!). We were welcomed so warmly by Jose with a nice cold coconut drink and he took the time to sit down with us and explain the amenities. The hotel is a family business and we also met Lucia, his sister who was equally warm and inviting. Throughout our stay, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and lacked for nothing. One evening, Jose even made a pharmacy run to pick up some hydration drinks! Lucia even went so far as to put my wet shoes out in the sun for me! Trust me, they treat you like family. They are also available to help you book trips if you need it. Our room was delightful! It was spacious and looked right out over the ocean. The huge balcony was amazing with comfortable seating, a small refrigerator and even a clothes rack should you need to dry out a swimsuit. At night, you can see the distant lights twinkle across the bay. I wish we had more days to simply relax and unwind in that lovely space! The room and bath were immaculate with fluffy white towels, bath products, etc. Breakfast was perfect and our eggs were made to order. At breakfast, we also got to meet Jose and Lucia's wonderful mom. The hotel also provides drinks that are on an honor system. You pay for what you take. Beach towels are available for free and if you are in the mood for a yoga session, yoga mats are also provided! And last but not the least, the location is amazing. It's a short walk to the beach or the quaint downtown with its restaurants and coffee shops! I wouldn't stay anywhere else on San Cristobal or even on all of Galapagos. It was hands-down my favorite place to stay! I hope to return someday!

Our guided booked this gorgeous BnB for our group. Fantastic location one block from the city beach and 2 blocks from the start of the boardwalk with all the restaurants, piers, and stores. But the best were our hosts and the delicious breakfasts and personal tips. The small court yard was perfect for our group to hang out!

Such a cute family owned place! It was an amazing location and the rooms were super clean. The owners were super friendly and gave us many recommendations on things to do and where to eat. I definitely recommend having breakfast there as it was really good! I would definitely stay...

I definitely recommend having breakfast there as it was really good! I would definitely stay here again if we go back to San Cristobal :)

Wonderful stay at Casa Playa Mann - large, clean and comfortable room with a spectacular view. Jose and his team were very friendly and helpful for recommending restaurants and places to go. Great location - easy walk to town or local hiking trails.

The Casa Playa Mann made San Cristobal or best part of our 2 weeks in Galapagos. We had fun in Santa Cruz and Isabela, but the friendly helpful staff here made us feel like family. The breakfast food and coffee was excellent. The beaches are an easy walk. The walk to town is short and scenic.

Casa Playa Mann was by far the best hotel we stayed in Peru and Equador/Galapagos. Why? Not only the very confortable beds and pillows, the great shower, incredible breakfast with fresh fruits, granola and eggs with toast. (The yuka bread!!!!) but mostly the loving caretaking of Lucia and José

We had the most amazing time at Casa Playa Mann. It was the last stop on a 3 week trip and it was the perfect end with the most welcoming hosts. The location is great, less than 5 mins walk to the beach where you can watch the sunset and...

We had the most amazing time at Casa Playa Mann. It was the last stop on a 3 week trip and it was the perfect end with the most welcoming hosts. The location is great, less than 5 mins walk to the beach where you can watch the sunset and less than 10 mins walk to the bars and restaurant. We had the ocean view room where we could enjoy the gorgeous view - the hammocks were a bonus!. Jose and Lu go above and beyond to make every guest feel comfortable - if we are lucky enough to come back to the Galapagos one day, we will definitely be back to casa playa Mann!

A beautiful family run hotel, in an excellent position near to the beach & restaurants. Our stay here was so comfortable, the host Jose & his sister were so friendly & accomodating. The rooms were spotlessly clean & and everything was provided for a comfortable stay. Our room looked out to the lovely garden area, with tables, chairs & hammocks where you could relax. Breakfast was very good & set us up for the day. I just wish we could've stayed longer. Would highly recommend.

This place could not have been more wonderful! The staff are what made our visit extraordinary. The owners and their relatives were incredibly welcoming, ready to attend to our every need.

This place could not have been more wonderful! The staff are what made our visit extraordinary. The owners and their relatives were incredibly welcoming, ready to attend to our every need. The room was large and comfortable. There was a self serve fridge outside with beer and wine. Breakfasts were delicious. We dined each night at Mutu, a very short walk from the hotel, that was super gourmet. A short further walk brought us to the town pier where we saw sea lions and marine iguanas galore. Totally worth a visit!

My partner and I are so glad we stayed at Casa Playa Mann for three days in early October, 2024. After just finishing the Salkantay 3 night/4 day trek in Peru, we needed a relaxing break. This lovely hacienda provided that and more. It was a friendly family affair with the brother, sister and mother combination doing every they could to make our stay enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble like getting tours organized, and providing scrumptious breakfasts. The ocean view room complete with a large verandah and hammock provided a perfect spot! Casa Playa Mann was a brilliant gateway to magical San Cristobal.

This small hotel truly catered to our every need with unmatched level of graciousness and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and attentive service. The rooms were cozy and clean! We had the perfect view of the water! Room #4 was perfect. The hotel’s location was close to the beach. Breakfast was freshly prepared and they adjusted serving us breakfast to meet our timelines! Wow!

Fantastic stay at this small family run hotel very close to the local beach. Lucia and her team could not be more helpful and welcoming. Fantastic breakfasts made from local ingredients, super clean rooms and extras such as rain ponchos, umbrellas, beach towels and hiking poles.

A lovely family run small B & B Hotel, close to a great sandy beach and many restaurants, but still quiet. The breakfasts are excellent. Lucia is so friendly and helpful. She arranged a fabulous trip for us to visit the highlands, including the volcano lagoon, a secluded beach, the tortoise reserve and a very interesting farm where we tasted a lot of the fruit produce and coffee! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Playa Mann on beautiful San Cristobel.

Casa Playa Mann is a quaint, clean, well-located hotel across the street from the beach. The staff, particularly Lucia and Marteen, were accomodating, kind, and professional. The rooms are clean and well-arranged. The breakfasts are delicious. The service is unsurpassed.

We absolutely loved Casa Playa Mann!!!! Lucia and her family were so sweet, helpful and hard working! The hotel is clean, conveniently located near everything and a 2 min walk to Playa Mann beach. San Cristobal was our favorite island of the 3 we visited and had the most sea...

We absolutely loved Casa Playa Mann!!!! Lucia and her family were so sweet, helpful and hard working! The hotel is clean, conveniently located near everything and a 2 min walk to Playa Mann beach. San Cristobal was our favorite island of the 3 we visited and had the most sea lions…which we loved! The breakfast in the morning is amazing! Lots of options and delicious. Our AC was ice cold, room had lots of storage, plenty of hot water, the hammocks were awesome on the patio and the fridge in the room was a life saver! We will for sure come again and recommend this to friends and family!

The location is an easy walk downhill to the main port area with restaurants, shopping and dive centers. Taxis around town are $2 flat rate so we would taxi back after a long day. We chose an upper balcony room which added a great outdoor space for us to enjoy....

The location is an easy walk downhill to the main port area with restaurants, shopping and dive centers. Taxis around town are $2 flat rate so we would taxi back after a long day. We chose an upper balcony room which added a great outdoor space for us to enjoy. The room was large with plenty of storage space which was great for us as we were on a long trip and had more luggage than usual. The king bed was comfortable and the shower has good water pressure. Everything was spotlessly clean. We added breakfast, which I would encourage. Yogurt and fresh fruit with a dollop of chocolate for dipping, super fresh eggs made to order, bacon, toast and breads, cheese, hot chocolate, tea and coffee. The staff was excellent; very friendly and helpful. The plants in the lobby area created a secluded oasis to relax. They had nice touches like beach towels, an area to buy snacks and beverages, and they gave us chilled chunks of aloe to use in case we got sunburned. A lot of attention to detail went into this place. We loved it.
