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.

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.

Nice and friendly hotel right in front of a beach

Louis and the staff are very friendly. Room was big. Breakfast was good. No internet in the room was a little annoying as we had to step out of the room for internet connection. Nice beach in front of the hotel.

Highly recommend staying here where there is a beautiful beach right outside. Our room was beautiful and large and very comfortable. There's hot water and they provide water, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate 24 hours. We really wished we could stay longer due to the amazing hospitality!

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.

Overall this place was nice and we would stay there again. However, there were a couple of things that we would say, could make things a bit better. First, WiFi in the rooms. They had WiFi in the common area but when you’re on vacation and planning, sometimes you just want to lay down or post some pictures. Second, the VIP breakfast we received (for one day only) was subpar and it’s not worth the $12 per person/per day they charge. You can get a better breakfast somewhere else. Lastly, they have the hot tub as an amenity but they no longer have it. Bring it back! It would have been amazing to relax in there after the Sierra Negra hike.
