Wonderful hotel with pool just off of the Main Street. Quiet and clean. Friendly staff.

This hotel is pure heaven! The staff is amazing! The room, restaurant and pool are total class and luxury. I could eat at the restaurant every meal for a week, so many options and all delicious! The gym has everything you could possibly want or need to get a fantastic workout in. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough!

Would stay there again.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are very clean. The outdoor areas are absolutely lovely. However, I had booked a balcony room (which had a great view for sure) but it did not have a hammock as advertised and the noise from the wind coming in around the patio doors every night did not allow for restful sleeping.
We would absolutely stay here again, but would not pay extra for a balcony room.

Pretty, clean, safe & near bars and restaurants. Includes breakfast. I definitely recommend.

Although it was a bit tricky to open the room door, the hotel was walkable from the main street and was good value for money. Also, the restaurants and cafes recommended by the staff were amazing.

This property is just a few blocks from the Charles Darwin Research property and to food/shopping on the main drag. Some staff spoke enough English to be able to communicate. Others not so much. Google translate worked well!
My husband arrived here with a bad case of traveler's sickness. The gentleman was so kind to help us. He even had some meds we could get, allowed us to check out a little late, due to severity of his illness. They have filtered water available for drinking. Their morning breakfast (included with reservation) was nice for me (husband could not eat yet): fresh fruit, rolls, jam & margarine, eggs to order, ham, cheese, fresh juice/coffee/tea. They also had pourable yogurt & granola. Enough to get filled up on! Our kind clerk also called a cab for us when it was time to go.
There is a little pool available for use in the courtyard. There is no elevator, so if you have trouble with stairs, ask for a ground floor room. Bed was comfortable. Facility is clean and well maintained. Felt safe there.

Great place to stay! Clean and quiet, beautiful view from the top floor terrace, easy walk to the shopping and dining. Breakfast was nice and AC felt wonderful. Would definately stay there again.
8.0
Definitely a great value for your money. This hotel is just far enough from the main street to be quiet, but still close enough to walk to all the restaurants.
The staff here gave us all kinds of useful information about the area and even provided a map. They seemed to genuinely care that we had an amazing time on the island!
There were some small things I didn't love about the room, namely the super thin curtains that made it hard to sleep in past sunrise. And the decor wasn't anything to write home about. But overall this place was a great value for what we paid.

We loved our stay at Hotel La Casa de Judy. The rooms were great and the service and hospitality were excellent. It was walkable to the main street in town where everything is located. I would highly recommend staying here.
10.0
Great location away from the hustle and bustle of the main road but still close to shops, restaurants and the boat harbour. Big, clean rooms with comfy beds. Staff were helful and welcoming. Can highly recommend.
5.0
Excellent family run business. Steps away from Port Ayora water taxis and strip of restaurants. Recommend 1835 for North American foodies. 10 minute walk from Darwin Research Center (if you want to see anything on this island, be prepared to pay $10 USD for a guide or you have no access to the sites).
3.0
The accommodations are nice. However, I paid for a double superior ocean view room but was given a king size room. I asked to change the room and finally got a double after being told they didn’t have one and the view is nothing close to superior. I was on the second floor which is blocked by trees to the ocean view. For a superior view, I would think I would’ve been on one of the upper floors. Also, this property advertises that it has laundry facilities and it does not.
6.0
There is nothing wrong with the property. This is the woman's home. She want everyone to be inside the property by 9pm so that she can go to sleep. She put my friend out in the streets and would not allow us to remain on the premises because we had to be at the airport at 12 am for a 3 am flight. I would not recommend this place to a friend.
4.0
Easy check in, friendly staff, room is large and clean. We have nice view of the bay. Walkable to the town, feel safe walking even at night. Bed comfortable but needs extra pillows. Downside, no elevator access, we are on the 4th floor although staff helped with my luggage, Wifi sucks! We have to sit outside our room to get connected or hang out on the ground floor. Breakfast same everyday, eggs, ham, fruits and coffee/tea. Place is quiet, we slept good after a long day of snorkeling and hiking. I would like to return if wifi connection improves.
5.0
Wonderful stay at Casa de Judy. Our room on the second floor had expansive view on the ocean and we did sleep with the sound of the waves. This hotel has been renovated with taste and is very zen. The breakfast and reception area is open and shaded next to a small pool. WiFi is not very good in the room but fine in the reception area. It is well located just a few minutes from excellent restaurants and the Charles Darwin Station. The staff is very friendly. We would have stayed one more night if we had been able to extend our stay but we had to move to nearby Deja Vu hotel and it was far less enjoyable. We would definitely stay again here.

We were greeted by staff that made us feel like we were bothering them. Rude, not welcoming at all. They told us we would not be able to get a ferry for the following day, we were able to book one while in the lobby 2 minutes after they told us we could not. The following day we asked for a taxi to Tortuga Bay. They guy at the desk seemed annoyed to be talking to us. He said we do not have time to go before the ferry. We walked to Tortuga bay and had a wonderful day. We gathered our bags and left for the ferry. They we incredibly rude.

The room was nice and well located. Short walk to town. Rooms are good not great, everything about the hotel was ok not great. One draw back was the gentleman at the front desk, anytime you need anything it’s like it’s a big chore for him. Very apathetic comepared to other stay. Communication before our arrival was not great as well. Only question answered quickly was do you take credit cards. All in all a value stay, could be great not good with a few tweaks

We stayed here while visiting the Galapagos, and were very happy with the hotel. The rooms are spacious, bright, clean, with a balcony overlooking trees and the ocean in the distance.Manager Breakfast is served in a pretty courtyard next to a small pool. Manager Carlos was helpful in arranging taxis and providing information. IA lovely comfortable place.
10.0
we stayed for 4 nights at la casa de judy and really enjoyed our time there. carlos, the host, was very helpful and friendly. he was always ready to help us out with any information or suggestion that we needed. when both of us got a bit sick (happens on an island) he had some medicine ready for us and he even went to get a special one for me when i was not feeling well. his staff was friendly and polite as well, of course.
we had a room with ocean view on the top floor and it was a really nice to be welcomed by the blue ocean and sky. the room was cleaned daily and the beds were comfortable. the room had a big tv mounted on the wall which we didnt use much, but still was nice to have for the couple of hours that we spent resting and planing upcoming trips. the balcony was also nice, but to be honest since sometimes the air outside was a bit too warm we rather stayed inside and left the door open so it became more of a breeze inside the room. sometimes even like that the air was a bit warm still, but the room was equiped with a good and big air conditioner that was easy to use and had a timer function, which became really useful.
we had breakfast every morning (7-9am), always with a different juice, eggs, bread and fresh fruit. it was simple but good and kept you going for most of the day. there is also a small pool on the ground floor but we only used it once to cool off on the first day.
all in all it was a good experience and we can only recommend it!!

La casa de Judy became our home away from home mostly because of the warm friendly attitude of the entire staff, specially Carlos who made our stay very pleasant. The hotel is conveniently located, very clean spacious rooms, a refreshing pool and great breakfast. One great thing about this hotel is the amazing rooftop terrace which provides a 360 view of Santa Cruz Island. We chose this hotel because of the many great reviews mentioning Carlos at the front desk, now we make echo of those recommendations, we highly recommend La casa de Judy. We will definitely come back to this hotel.
5.0
The safe was broken in our room. However, everything else was great. Carlos was more than accommodating. We were served fresh fruit when we arrived. And he took care of my broken shoes for me by getting them fixed in town. The rooftop patio is clean and very nice. A beautiful pool area. We walked all over town in just a few minutes from the hotel.

Este fue un viaje de última hora para mí y mi prima, puedo decir que el viaje salió de maravilla gracias a la ayuda de Carlos, nos guió desde los lugares donde podiamos comer hasta las playas a visitar. Una persona muy amable, demasiado diría yo. En cuanto respecta al hotel, tuvimos la suerte de estar en una habitación con una vista espectacular, balcón y todos los servicios necesarios. Puedo recomendar 100% el hotel.

This was the perfect place for us while in Santa Cruz. We were greeted with an English speaking staff member who showed us around the beautiful property. It has a roof top deck with fantastic views, and a large courtyard with seating and recreation areas. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The owner, Judy greeted us each morning at breakfast and was always engaging. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. This was our favorite hotel of our 10 day trip b/c of Judy, her staff, and the relaxing hotel grounds,
