The best thing to stay with Luis in the "Good living" (that's what Sumak Kawsay means translated from Quechua) ist to stay with Luis and his family. We had such a warm welcoming and felt far away from all the tourism on the islands. If you are looking for a place to stay which is very special, go there. You will have to take the bus or taxi to get to Puerto Ayora where all the other tourists are and where you can eat/ take the ferries/ go to the beaches - but the location is not at all negative, for us it was one of the best things about the hotel! You are so close to life on Galapagos and far from just being another tourist. Luis cooked for us and hell it was so amazing. The best food we got on our whole trip and the peanut-banana-fish-soup was definetly one of the best soups of our life. Enjoy staying with them, we will always remember our 4 nights!

Very clean and in beautiful rural location, but easy to access via bus or taxi. Welcome fruit juice. In the room there was a 4 litre bottle of water, which was very generous (and useful). Food offered by no pressure to buy. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, who helped with tickets etc for onward travel.

Very helpful owners, I asked and they made me a lunch. For extra money you can have good breakfast and dinner also.

First of all the family running this are absolutely amazing and go out of their way to help. The lady even walked me to the bus stop and waited with me. The room is very clean with all necessities. They are very helpful in explaining activities around and even rent bikes for $2 an hour (reasonable for this part of Galapogos). There is an option to pay $10 for dinner which I recommend as it is close to 5* - some of the best fish I’ve ever had! The family is all round amazing - offering free refreshments after my long cycle.

Louis and the family were the most welcoming and friendly people. They have a beautiful place in the countryside - if you like tortugas you must go!

Laura Denmark

Very friendly owners. They welcomed us with a fresh made juice. It felt like home. Dinner and breakfast was amazing. The best food we had in Galapagos. Wish we could have stayed longer. I would recommend it!

Incredible experience staying with Luis and his wife at Sumak Kawsay. We were gifted freshly made fruit juice (passion fruit from their trees) plus bananas on arrival. We were kindly collected from port/town and Luis took us the next day to the ferry to baltra for our flights, all for such reasonable prices. This made our stay so easeful! Beautiful space with lush gardens and jungle surrounds, nice and quiet. Luis shared some of his life story with us and was just so very generous, considerate and genuine. He also made us breakfast and as an international chef you can bet it was delicious!! Would def return here!

I loved how friendly the family was, the room was very comfortable and clean. You can easily get a 1 dollar taxi to puerto ayora. The breakfast was delicious and big portions. No wifi or service but I expected it so I don’t complain :)
