We had a nice stay at Cucuve…great location. Met some lovely Swedish guests, who were relatives of the owners, and they gave us good tips. The hotel has all the amenities and a excellent breakfast made to order, unless Christian is the chef then it will be a struggle.
The staff were all really pleasant and kind. The rooms were also clean and well maintained. It was a wonderful stay at the end of long days snorkeling and exploring Galapagos!

It was the best hotel on our island hopping trip to the galapagos. It really deserves the four stars! Our room was impeccable, complete and comfortable breakfast, they have a lounge in the restaurant Bahia Mar that’s not open everyday, it was the only disappointment since there is no service at the lounge, we ended up having dinner at the restaurant beside.

We loved our stay at Hotel Cucuve. The interior design of the hotel and all it’s spaces are really beautiful. The finishes. Nice. The staff are super friendly, kind, and helpful. The room was great. The bed comfortable. The bathroom nicely sized with a great shower. We also had a big balcony in our room which was a great place to hang out after an amazing day. The other room we rented had a regular sized balcony which was still nice. Both were covered which was nice. I also appreciated that they provided a portable clothes drying stand with the room so we could dry our wet clothes after the beach or excursion. Really thoughtful. We loved our stay.

This is probably one of the better hotels I have stayed at . Incredible service and there is purified water at your convenience even in the bathroom. Very safe I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying on santa cruz island in the galapagos.
