San Cristóbal – Strandleigur

Peter Sviss

We spent 3 wonderful days in this lovely house. Perfect location a bit outside of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, yet close enough to get there on foot in a few minutes. Thank you very much for the warmhearted welcome.

We just loved the vibe of the place and the view of the ocean in a distance. It is a little bit of a walk from town but cabs are reasonably priced to make the way back home. The rooms are up on the third floor - great view but you need to walk up the stairs to get to your room.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed my stay at Casa Arvakeni! Vanessa and her beautiful family are such marvelous hosts, they were always very communicative and as soon as I arrived they sat down with me, showed me a map of San Cristóbal, and told me all about great local spots for hiking and snorkeling! I really appreciated the comfortable room and bathroom to myself in a quiet part of town with decent Wifi, hot shower, and access to the family kitchen. Like all Galapagos, it is very safe and laid back here. Everything is within walking distance in Puerto Banquerizo: the house is just ten minutes from the dock, twenty-five minutes to the airport, and a twenty minute jaunt to lovely Punta Carola... Or walk just a little further and bingo: the Ensenada del Cerro de las Tijeretas is the perfect spot to see undersea life. Or you can cross town and head forty minutes in the other direction to Playa Loberia, where the snorkeling is also excellent. I am very grateful to Vanessa and her family, they are such welcoming and knowledgeable hosts! An excellent choice for any budget traveler who wants to support local folks, prepare their own meals and rest easy in this beautiful, enchanted paradise!

Good communication. Juan (the owner) lives and works in the building so he's easily available for any needs. Large one bedroom apartment, great Air Conditioning, spotless.

Cute little house out from the centre of town, a short walk to Playa Mann. Received the most lovely welcome from the host who collected us from the airport.

The private Transport from the pear to the location itself, the friendly owner and for sure the daily fresh foods grown directly in the garden.

The apartment has good size and is well equipped with all the utensils necessary to prepare your meals, if desired. Also drinking water was provided during the entire stay. Two snorkeling equipments are available to use for free, if needed. We met the family and the little daughter, Amelia, so cute 😊. We really enjoyed our 4 nights stay.
