Julio is amazing! When I asked about the room, Julio ended up helping us plan our whole trip! He bought a local flight for us, took us snorkeling, set up our boat to leave the island, pretty much organized our whole land based trip to the Galapagos (which is not an easy task). He went well beyond anyone I have... More

Julio was our personal guide on a 7 day trip in the Galapagos March 2012. Julio travelled with us during our 3 Island tour with a very full itinerary. We hiked, biked, kayaked and snorkelled. We ate lunch on the rim of a volcano, snorkelled with sea lions, sea turtles, marine iguanas and sharks. We visited tortoise reserves and the... More

Sula Sula is located at the farthest end of the town from sea, but the Villamil is so small that it does not really matter. The rooms are pretty basic with almost no furniture - hard to manage your clothes and stuff. Breakfast – standard continental, Elena (Julio´s wife) is baking the bread, so you can expect fresh bread every... More

My wife and I met Julio on a tour. We were looking for a place to stay away from the beach because it was so noisy during carnival. We toured his establishment, met his wife and children, and made our booking. The rooms are clean and are air conditioned. The rooms are attached to their house. We slept very good.... More

We were recommended this hotel but did not share the same great experience as alot of reviewers. It is really a house with rooms for rent. There is an addition under construction so it may change when finished. We had a big room with private bath - never did have any hot water but we got used to refreshing showers... More

We took an amazing week-long vacation over Christmas break to the Galapagos with Julio serving as our intrepid guide for our entire stay. Together with two other families we visited San Cristobal, Floreana, Isabela and Santa Cruz. All the arrangements, transport, activities etc went off without a hitch. The pace was just right: not rushed or too slow either. As... More

We booked our summer 2011 reservations for Hotel Sula Sula before we left the US. We were so excited about the reviews here on TripAdvisor that we thought we made a great choice for Isabela. We landed in Santa Cruz just in time to catch our boat to Isabela that Julio had reserved for us. We approached the boat operator... More

Julio is an amazing self-made man and is an official guide for the Galapagos Parks. We chose his hotel because he is a local businessman, uses local produce and products, and is very eco-conscious. His hotel feels welcoming, and Julio and his wife made sure we had everything we needed.He impressed us by his hard work, honesty, gentleness and generosity.... More

After feeling scamed and abused on Santa Cruz, I immediately felt safe and comfortable talking to the owner Julio and his wife. They were super kind, honest and mello and were very helpful in finding tours, leading tours, and guiding us around the city. He was completely felxible when we changed plans several times and always was ready to help... More
