The front desk lady is wonderful and helpful. Isabella is a tiny island but the hotel Is a nice respite from snorkeling. Their sister property is anat is right down the beach and offers lounge chairs under umbrellas with views of the sea. Breakfast is great. Roof terrace could use some lounges and a bit more shade though.

The Front desk receptionist is super nice to us, allowing us to have a late checkout after our diving tour, so that we could take a shower before our Ferry. All the amenities, location, and all other things are probably the best on this island that you could find.

It is a beautiful and comfortable hotel on the beach, with very good beds and delicious breakfast. The staff is very kind and helpful. However, it can get really noisy during the weekend (we stayed 3 nights) because it is located right behind the town's main square where there are very loud speakers during the day. Also, there's a soccer field next to the hotel, also with loud speakers until late at night, and they played several times on Saturday and Sunday. Monday night was quiet.

Fantastic place

Best hotel on the island. Wonderful location, amazing view from the beach facing rooms. Incredibly helpful staff. I booked for 2 nights and then extended for a full week. Definitely a highlight of my 4-week stay in the Galapagos. The staff can make recommendations and assist with whatever you need. Bicycle rentals, laundry, tour offices all nearby. Do not hesitate to book this property. Isla Isabela has a laid back vibe but plenty to do. Giant tortoises on the bike path, and marine iguans everywhere.

The staff will go out of their way to make you comfortable. Never seen any hotel staff more sincere about their job. They even arranged a taxi for us in early wee hours on their tabs - The taxi driver cheated us though asking 3 times the regular fare and said hotel did not pay him. Other than that small incident, we had our best vacation time at this hotel.

This was a wonderful, ocean-front property in the tiny village of Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island. The hotel manager, Ana, was absolutely fabulous. She could not have been more personable. She helped arrange tours and meals and made sure that we always felt at home. It was such a beautiful boutique hotel with the cozy feeling of home. It's a very small island with limited hotel offerings. I do not think there is a better place to stay. This property had a very nice breakfast, large rooms with ocean views, a small swimming pool, a sun terrace and the friendliest staff we experienced in the Galapagos.

Nice hotel, uneven service.

Spent 3 nights here. The hotel was as advertised - right across from the beach, bright and well appointed with a small balcony that opened out to the road across from the beach. The internet was wonky - there were at least 3 different wifis, none of which worked all that week from our room (first floor, beach facing). Breakfast was good, the pool was nice and in an open area. When we confirmed, as required that we would arrive on our date and time, the day before via ferry, the hotel rep responded “we’ll be waiting for you.” No one showed up at the dock, when we asked the desk attendant she flatly said “we don’t do that, I’m not sure who told you that” - so we showed the message, and the response was “someone in Quito wrote that, I don’t know why, I’ll look into it.” We didn’t hear back. Finally, be forewarned, they billed us for the room a full 2 months before the trip (even before the cancellation/refund period lapsed) “to reserve our room” because of high season. Not a huge problem, just not something that was expected based on selecting the “pay at the property” option.
