    Room and bathroom size is a bit on the smaller size, but would not deter me from booking again in the future.

    Great and timely communication before arrival, helped me with tour recommendation that was exceptional. Located in front of the beach, pretty property, walking distance to the center of town. Great service, attentive. Free continental breakfast with coffee, cereal, and toasted breads (eggs and fresh fruits too). AC and wifi work very well. Helped me book a taxi to the port for 5am pick up.

    Perfect for family vacation

    • Two-Bedroom Suite

    1. The space of the family suite is small, especially the bathroom. 2. Breakfast is included for all the other the rooms but the family suite.

    Rebekka had been very friendly and helpful from the beginning of our stay. She waited at the front of the hotel when we arrived and gave us a tour and many good travel tips. The beach is right across the street. I like to relax at the rooftop resting area with a beautiful ocean view. Our family suite has everything we need. And we can walk to town easily.

    You could not get a better location than this! The most beautiful beach is right across the road (actually a sand road) and the front porch of the hotel looks out on the beach. Moreover, it is just a 5 minute walk to the town for meals.

    This is a beautiful small hotel literally right across from the beach on Isabella Island. The rooms were reasonably sized and well decorated. The viewing decks provide an awesome place to hang out to watch the sunset. Had I known how wonderful this hotel and its location were, we would have stayed here longer. The breakfast was exactly what we expected. The staff were extremely helpful in giving us places to eat and helping us arrange transportation

    Perhaps could have been more practical for us e.g. a little more storage space in the room for example some more hooks to hang towels etc and there is a beautiful hammock but not in our ideal location. Our room could have been bigger but maybe we feel this way because it rained during our stay.

    Beautiful location and accommodation: there has been attention to detail making everything look lovely including the shared garden&rooftop area and the reception&breakfast rooms. Nice touch providing beach towels. On a rainy day, we relaxed on the rooftop with a book and enjoyed watching the birds playing in the rain and appreciated that private, covered area. Lovely staff, including useful information and recommendations for our time on Isabela. Designated area for hand washing and drying clothes kept everything nice and tidy. Recommend the pink iguana bar over the road for sunset cocktails.

    Housekeeping staff may be inexperienced. For example, did not refill potable water x 3 day and did not replenish linens. There was never a person at reception. However, VERY attentive otherwise. I really have nothing negative.

    Location is fabulous. Away from town (2 minutes-town is a relative word) and right across from the beach. Very Attentive.

    Owners friendly and helpful. Inn is comfortable and cute with beautiful ocean views from upper patio areas. Lots of comfortable seating up there with large umbrellas for needed shade. Small plunge pool (hot tub sized) was great for cooling off. Highly recommend before bed! Blue footed boobies, marine iguanas, and pelicans right on the beach! Beach was the longest we saw in the Galapagos. Convenient walk to tortoise center and into town. You do need a taxi from the port, but only $2.

    They wouldn’t offer a packed breakfast on the day we left. They know that most guests have to leave early to catch the ferry so miss the breakfast they paid for. A simple bag with a bread roll, boiled egg and some fruit would have gone a long way!

    Friendly staff, thoughtful touches .. drinks fridge, beach towels.
