Galeodan Penthouse - Spectacular Sunsets on the Bay - Ideal for Honeymooners

The Galeodan Penthouse is the premier studio apartment of the Casa de Huespedes: Jardin de Helena (Helena's Garden). It occupies the entire 3rd floor of the main building over the Galeodan agency office and the owner's home. With windows on all sides, it overlooks the town, the port and the ocean. At day-break, you can watch the sun rise over the hills of San Cristobal and in the evening, you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets from your king-size bed or from your private patio as you dine on the catch-of-the-day which you have just prepared in the fully equipped kitchenette.

The 3 piece bathroom and fully equipped kitchen have gas-heated water. We provide all the cooking basics including pots, pans, salt, pepper and oil plus unlimited drinking water, coffee, tea, milk, sugar, cereal, fruit eggs and bread for a healthy in-home breakfast.

You can lie back on the spacious patio in or out of the sun in a hammock or on loungers.

San Cristobal paradise
A beautifully appointed large penthouse suite and stunning sunset views, lots of windows and a private deck with a hammock and lounge chairs. Sean and Maria Elena are perfect hosts - they picked us up at the airport, supplied the kitchenette with delicious fresh bread/butter/jam daily, locally sourced coffee and ample filtered water. Sean arranged water and taxi tours with trustworthy sources and gave accurate restaurant reviews. His home-made map of the area was invaluable. We are grateful! Thank you for an amazing time.

Sean was an excellent host. He communicated with us regularly before our stay answering questions about the island. When we had major trouble with an independent tour operator he helped us find a new operator in no time, just excellent!

Beautiful spot and amazing view!
My gf and I stayed 4 nights here in the Galapagos and it was absolutely fantastic. The view is actually as incredible as the photos show. The place was clean, the bed was big and comfortable, the little kitchen has what you need and nothing you don't and the balcony was so great to hang out on boasting a front row seat to the sun setting over the ocean. Everything in the apartment was functional and worked as it should. The host Sean has lived there over a decade and is great for recommendations on restaurants, tours, activities etc... and even arranged taxis and boat tours and Covid testing for us. He even kept us stocked with fresh bread from the local bakery, coffee, drinking water and fruit. In a world rampant with over promising and under delivering this was a very refreshing experience of the opposite. Can't recommend this place enough!

A great base for a land tour
The penthouse was a spacious and comfortable place with an excellent view of the bay and a short walk to town. In the other direction are beaches, snorkeling and well maintained trails. While we ate out for most meals except breakfast, the kitchen is small and a bit sparse with utensils but the place allowed us a lot of freedom to be away from crowds and enjoy the warm weather. The owner, Sean was very responsive and kept our water pitchers filled and trash emptied and have us tips on what to do and see.

Amazing!
Our visit to San Cristobal island could not have been more perfect, thanks in large part to Sean and his family. We were greeted upon arrival and enjoyed our daily visits with Sean (either near the suite or seeing him around town). Since we were only in town for a few days and did not really speak Spanish, Sean was a great help in suggesting both local excursions and daily activities on the island. Additionally, he took care to provide us with fresh bread and other necessary items to help make our stay that much more enjoyable. Further, we appreciated his recommendations for local restaurants. In addition to having a friendly host, we were in close proximity to everything. We could walk to the beach or into town for Happy Hour in less than 5 minutes. The visit to Galeodan was perfect and we are already looking forward to our return trip!

Excellent location, 5 minutes walk from the downtown, quiet, unobstructed 360 degrees view of the ocean and island, large space and very nicely organized. I recommend it 100% for a couple or family with 1-2 kids. It would be difficult to find something better in San Cristobal.
