No one helped to carry the suitcases when checking out 😂 A girl can only pray not to fall down the stairs. I stayed for four nights and there was no hot water for showers for two nights. The price of $100 a night is a bit expensive, but the island of Canada is worth going

Quiet and comfortable, yet close to everything Lovely hotel and grounds very close to harborfront. My private room was very large, a/c and hot water worked well. Breakfast was good with eggs cooked to order, plus fruit,bread,juice, and coffee. The staff were very friendly, and arranged for a taxi up to Baltra for me. I will miss Lava,the playful and cute hotel doggie!

Great pkace We loved our stay at Lava House. It has lovely outdoor space with various patios and an open air dining area where breakfast was included. The room and lobby had purified water dispensers for filling water bottles. We stayed three night and could easily walk to restaurants, bars, pier.

We loved everything about Lava House. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The owners were incredibly welcoming and great hosts. The breakfasts were also wonderful. Location was excellent for doing all the activities the island has to offer and the hotel can help arrange and make recommendations. Would highly recommend to anyone!

My sister and I went for the new year and were completely blown away by the beauty of the hotel, and the exceptional customer service. We stayed there for about a week, while we explored Santa Cruz and neighboring islands. The Hotel is in amazing location, a very short walk to town and Puerto Ayora. The breakfast was very nice, and gave us a great start to the day. The staff were extremely friendly and genuinely cared about making sure we felt at home. The ground are stunning, extremely well kept and every inch of it is picture worthy. I HIGHLY recommend.

This charming hotel is a nice little oasis in Santa Cruz. The owner Isabella was absolutely lovely and made us all feel like we were at home. The rooms were comfortable and clean with AC and hot water. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. It was a perfect place to recoup from the heat after excursions and time in the city. The sweet resident dog Lava was by far the highlight for my kids during our stay.
