Casa Iguana Mar y Sol - Galapagos Islands Vacation B & B

Casa Iguana Mar y Sol is a large, new, private house which was built with 4 separate entry suites. It is a three-story property with spacious living units and unbelievable views of the Pacific Ocean and marina. Casa Iguana Mar y Sol is only 100 yards from the shoreline and is the finest, most carefully finished property on the island of San Cristobal. Each of the second-floor suites has a private entrance, private bathroom (with warm-water shower) and spacious sitting area. All suites open onto a large, covered walkway with balcony seating.

Guests are invited to use a shared bar and kitchen area on the Terrace Floor (third-floor) where breakfast will be provided daily. Coming in 2008, an elegant Presidential Suite will be completed on the third-floor. Rental is available per-suite; contact us for special pricing on rental for an extended stay. Please note, all guests will be required to sign a release of responsibility waiver. I'll meet you at the airport if desired.
