Our host Abel made sure we had everything covered: he organized tours as well as recommendations on local activities and and around Puerto Villamil. The aircon units and the onsite water dispenser are very useful in this hot place.

Hotel is located in the second row of the beach. There is party at the beach (Pink Iguana Bar) on Fridays and Saturdays. I heard guests with rooms facing the beach complaining about noise during weekend nights. My room was facing the back country. With my windows closed I did not hear anything during weekend nights.

We enjoyed Isabel Island the most of the three Islands we stayed at. Fantastic wildlife. The sunrises and sunsets, long beach walks, Los Tunnels Tour, bike rental, trails, tortoise natural reserve, plenty of shops for fresh fish and produce, plenty of restaurants with delicious food, panaderias with baked goods and early morning coffee. Awesome locals that were very friendly and helpful. Exceeded all our expectations.

We enjoyed traveling beyond Santa Cruz Island for a few nights, just to experience the "vibe" of a different island. The town of Puerto Villamil is relaxed, very friendly and a charming beach town. Most of the area is walkable, though taxis were very cheap (less than $5).

Isabela is a backpacker's destination with very poor infrastructure and low level restaurants. And it's extremely expensive for a European, especially if you come from a non Euro-country given the appreciation of the USD. We struggled to find a decent restaurant and it turned out that the Mexican was the best (full every night). To give you an example of cost, a main course was between USD19-30 which in eg Spain would have been aprox USD8. Price/quality ratio is among the worst we've experienced.
Ecuador, especially the islands, is a cash only-no receipt-economy with the purpose of squeezing the last dollar out of the tourists. We left with few intentions of returning which is a shame given the amazing animals and nature. People are mostly very friendly and helpful which was a nice.

The laid-back beach town vibes here are so much different than Puerto Ayora and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on the other islands. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and I wish we'd planned this stop toward the end of the trip instead of right at the beginning. Make sure you do a trip to Los Tuneles while you're there - the scenery is fantastic and it was the best snorkeling we had on our week in the islands.

Puerto Villamil is small but welcoming and very beautiful with great opportunities for snorkeling, walking, biking, swimming, kayaking etc. Most restaurants seem to serve "pizza" for tourists, but it's possible to avoid that for more traditional and delicious fare. The local beer is good, the people are friendly and it's well worth the effort to visit. The wildlife is spread around the island, but you can experience an incredible variety in the near vicinity - flamingos, penguins, sea lions, manta rays, sea horses, turtles, tortoises, iguanas, lava lizards, blue-footed/nazca boobies and other incredible sea birds, sharks and colourful fishes, I can't wait to go back :)

Nice place, really relaxing.
Nice place, really relaxing. Not too many good options to go out for dinner and the nice restaurants are quite expensive. But this is the rule in Galapagos.
If you don't have much money, I would not recommend to stay many nights here, because the day trips are hugely expensive and there is not many free options otherwise staying in the central beach.

This is a beautiful hotel conveniently located on the beach. The rooms and all the common areas were meticulously kept. We were extremely comfortable during our stay. The breakfast was tasty and I appreciated having coffee available all day. The staff were extremely accommodating and helpful in providing bike rental recommendations. We used the pool and the sun terrace while there in addition to the gorgeous beach right outside. Highly recommended staying here while visiting Puerto Villamil and Isabela island.
Located at the edge of main commercial area so easy walk to shops, food, laundry, tours
Breakfast of fruit, granola, toast, scrambled eggs, the freshly squeezed orange was delicious!
Room was basic, no wardrobe or tv. We had to leave our suitcases on the floor which was inconvenient.
Hotel provided beach towels, useful.
Hotel only had a few guests so was nice and quiet but layout would allow noise transfers from common areas if busy.
Price was high for standard of room. Glimpse of beach from some rooms
Excellent Apartment Hotel in Isabela, our host Nancy was attentive and communicated with us during our entire stay, she was willing to help us with anything. The hotel seems brand new! The kitchen, with coffee maker, is a really nice to have, especially if you plan on a more extended stay. Drinking water was provided and much appreciated. The hotel is a 7-10min easy walk from downtown/beach, little "tienda" market next door. Our favorite stay in Galapagos, would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you!
By far our favourite hotel of all four that we stayed at on Galapagos! Friendly, helpful, welcoming reception staff that booked our tours of Isabela at a great price and were always there when we needed them.
The clean, comfortable, big room with a modern bathroom was a pleasure. The large breakfast offered some variety (unusual for Ecuador). The pool is a cool addition and nice to chill around.
Close enough to all the restaurants, the beach and the centre.
We really enjoyed our stay at Drake Inn! Carlos was very helpful and all the communication was smooth. The hotel had a really nice garden-area with beautiful flowers and the terrace had a nice beach view. The rooms were clean and the wifi worked great :) Other things that we really appriciated were the area were you could hang your bathing suits to dry and the free beach towels you could borrow.
We would absolutely recommend Drake Inn!
Best shower I had in the Galapagos. Breakfast was good. The staff was all really friendly and helpful, especially Diana who explained everything to me when I first arrived.
They are on the road from the pier just as you reach the main part of town. I liked this location but others might prefer something right on the beach further into town. However it was very convenient for getting to and from the pier for tours, ferries, etc.
The isabela beach house is probably one of the best places in the island.. all the rooms are really accurate to the pictures, they are super clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful. The owner helped us with info about tours places to eat etc etc.
In front of the hotel is a small beach between rocks perfect to practice a little snorkel or swim.
I'm definilty coming back if I have the chance
we got to the hotel and they didn’t have room for us (we had reserved months in advance). they did however move us to a « sister Hostal » across the street. Hostal Sandrita- the rooms were incredibly clean and the staff « Marci » was absolutely amazing! she took the time to tell us about the island, where to go and was always available for questions.
It was a lovely stay. The hotel staff was very helpful and they always made an extra effort to help. The views from the top floor are amazing. They helped us organize all tours and we had lots of fun. Breakfast was great. Extremely close to the beach. Overall a great experience and is highly recommended.
Eva and her team were very friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of recommendations on where to go and what to do. The location of the hotel is amazing with a stunning view. You could feel that every detail was thought through, even the napkins in the restaurant were of high quality.
This hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking Isabela beach. It was lovely being able to go down the stairs and across the beach straight into the ocean. We had a big room and the owner was very considerate, checking that we were able to get to the ferry on time.
The owners run the hotel and are very friendly, honest and helpful. The bedroom is big, super clean and the shower is perfect. The location is safe and great. I loved the owners and had a great time in Isabela island.
Great location in Puerto Villamil; easy to walk everywhere. Lovely courtyard with tables and chairs. Quiet side street. Well-equipped kitchen. Welcome air conditioning. Welcome hot water shower. Helpful staff.
Amazing hotel/hostel in Isla Isabela. Great location, modern, very clean and helpful staff. Wilmer at reception in particular was really friendly and helpful - always going the extra mile!
Highly recommended!
Nice hotel on isabella with free drinking water. Host was very welcoming. Kitchen can be used by all. Also free washing of your clothes !! You can also book tours in the hotel.
very good room with direct access to the pool. the Pool is clean and refreshing. Very helpful staff, we could do an early check-in. Laguna with flamingos next to the hotel.
very nice hotel, I like the fruits serving for breakfast, and its perfect location. what impressed me most is the hotel looks like run entirely by very capable girls 👍
This hotel is a great value and within pleasant walking distance to restaurants and more. The staff arranged a great tour for us, and was helpful with local information.
Cormorant Beach house is amazing. It is very quiet and clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We booked all our tours through the hotel and really enjoyed them.
