Loved staying at Captain Max's Hostel. It was welcoming, clean and the room was spacious. Captain Max is the kindest man and very accommodating. He was friendly and made a delicious breakfast in the morning. Additionally, the location is great and just a street over had a strip of great seafood restaurants. Our stay was great and the value for the money was excellent.

This B&B was a great find. Very convenient to the main avenue without all the noise. Less than a 10 minute walk to the ferry dock. Great variety of dining options all around and many shops and tour agencies. The rooms were very clean, air conditioned, hot water available for showers, well decorated and provided a very homey feel to them. The breakfast was basic but was enough to start the day. Max was a very helpful and thoughtful host when it came to accommodating us in the best rooms and on offering advice on excursions. I would definitely stay here again when i come back to Santa Cruz and would recommend it to everyone.

Very comfortable stay. Even with language barrier the staff did their best to make our stay as smooth as possible. Breakfast was great! Rooms were spotlessly clean and staff went above and beyond to help in anything. The location of the hotel is also very convenient for the ferry and all of the attractions in Santa Cruz island.
