Spacious and Comfortable

I stayed in a Double Interior Room for two nights, and it was very clean and large. The air conditioning worked exceptionally well, and the bathroom was quite spacious. I absolutely loved how comfortable the room was, making my stay incredibly enjoyable.

Convenient Breakfast Options

The breakfast experience at La Zayapa was excellent. I left before breakfast on two days, and they prepared a sweet sack breakfast for me. The attention to detail was impressive! Just let them know in advance if you’ll miss breakfast. It made my early excursions so much easier.

Great Bathroom Space

What I appreciated most about my stay was the size of the bathroom in my room. It was not only large but also very well-maintained. This made for a comfortable experience, especially after long days exploring the islands.

Amazing Ocean Views

I highly recommend getting a room with an ocean view. The one I had was amazing! I could watch sea lions swimming and marine iguanas sunbathing right outside my window. It was an lovely experience that enhanced my stay tremendously.

I had a lovely 4-night stay at La Zayapa, enjoying a stunning oceanview from my room. The staff, especially Jessica, were incredibly accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed for our snorkeling adventures. The location is unmatched for exploring San Cristobal. However, the room was pretty basic, and while breakfast was good, there were only a few days when it felt substantial.

Staying at La Zayapa was a wonderful experience thanks to its breathtaking bay view and great service. The oceanview room was basic but comfortable, offering a stunning perspective of the seals and the pier. While the location is top-notch and perfect for exploring San Cristobal, the room amenities could use a bit of improvement, particularly with the sink's water supply. Overall, it's excellent value for the price, especially with breakfast options available.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, especially enjoying the beautiful view of the bay from my Oceanview Room. The room was fairly basic but clean, and I appreciated the hot breakfast served on some mornings. The location is unbeatable in San Cristobal, just steps from the pier. However, it was a bit disappointing that the hot water only worked in the shower and not at the sink, and the Wi-Fi could use some improvement.

I had a wonderful 4-night stay in an Oceanview Room with stunning views of the bay. The room itself was basic but clean and comfortable. Jessica at the front desk was incredibly helpful in getting us gear for our activities. While the breakfast was good on the days we had it, it would've been nice to have some more options. Overall, for the price, the location in San Cristobal can't be beat.
