Welcome to the best relaxing place in Puerto Ayora, in a comfortable family environment.
Originally - like 10 years ago - the hostel was a house for my 2 daughters, Mailé and Naorí. There were 6 rooms and the idea was to have a place to share holiday times with them. As time passed by, they became more independent and the house grew quiet and empty.
This led to the idea of a place to accommodate the Santa Cruz' growing tourist population. Making the most of its strategic location, the Mainao offers a comfortable stay, away from the downtown's hustle and bustle.
Throughout my experience as a tour guide, I have come to understand the tourist's expectations in terms of service and infrastructure, and have applied these to the hostel. Little by little, it has grown to 16 rooms.
I decided on Arabic-Moroccan construction, with peaceful gardens and patios, making it the ideal place for resting and relaxing.
The name was inspired in my 2 daughters: Mailé and Naorí. Welcome to the MAINAO.
Hotel Mainao Inn is located at Puerto Ayora's Matazarnos and Indefatigable streets (Santa Cruz Island). Click here for a Santa Cruz map (courtesy of the Galapagos' Tourism Chamber) to locate our hostel.
