    It was a pre-paid quotation, despite of that I had to pay in cash to take the room, This is unreasonable and shouldn’t be offered on booking as on the Island a foreigner can take only 200USD a day on the cash machine. Should definitely banned from Booking

    We loved this place! It was pretty much perfect for our family of 6 on a vacation to the Galapagos.

    We loved this place! It's right on the beach, but on the end so it's a little more private and yet it's an easy walk to the restaurants and tours. We wish we had even more time here. It was great!

    We didn't have one of the rooms which opened out onto the beach which makes it a little less good value for money. Also we booked a tour of Los Tintoreras the night before at 6pm but my husband was too sick to go the next morning and we were still charged full price for it which we weren't told at the time of booking even though we were clear that my husband was already feeling unwell and wasn't sure if he would be able to go (I went anyway and it was a group trip with lots of others on it so it wasn't dependent on him going so I think a bit unnecessary to charge full price). Also, the WiFi was pretty terrible which didn't bother us as we didn't need it but if you require it then just FYI.

    Well located just a short beach walk from the main square. Allowed early check in free of charge. Bikes, snorkels etc. all available for rent. We got breakfast one morning which was delicious and they made a special effort to get gluten free bread for me which was much appreciated.

    Having some detailed directions on how to find the hotel would be helpful. If you've never been to the island, it's not obvious on the map where the water taxis will drop you off. Having a sign next to the road with the hotel's name would also be a helpful. (Someone came out to greet me, so it was no problem, but that may not be the case for everyone.) I never got the wifi to work. I was only there one night, so I didn't mess with it a lot.

    Nice clean place close to the water taxi dock. It's also close to the beach and a short walk to restaurants and tour companies in town. Enjoy breakfast at an outdoor table looking out at the beach and ocean. Breakfast was inexpensive and good ($10) - eggs, bread, fruit, yogurt, juice, coffee. The walk from the dock to the hotel is relatively short, but the road is dirt. If you have wheeled and/or heavy luggage, it's really nice to pick up one of the many taxis at the dock. It only cost me $2.

    They turned off the AC every day when we left instead of turning the temperature higher, we would then have to come back and wait for it to cool down every afternoon. It was 83+ degrees with 90%+ humidity and very uncomfortable weather. Dinner on the beach was lovely and tasty.

    Wendy the receptionist spoke beautiful English and recommended several great restaurants. Breakfast on the beach was lovely and they packed us a juice box, banana, and roll for our 5AM departure.

    Can't say enough good stuff about the beach house. The location is fantastic - quiet and private, with a beachfront walkout, yet just a two minute walk from town, via the beach. Rooms are clean and modern, with a/c. The staff and owner were super friendly and attentive, providing breakfast on the beach, drinks, bicycles, snorkeling gear, etc. whenever we needed it. Excellent

    One of the best places we have ever stayed. Wendy was an amazing help our whole trip and helped with trips and anything else we needed. Easy walk to the centre or out to the port/Concha de Perla. Great breakfast, we were in one of the rooms upstairs with a balcony where you could enjoy the amazing sunsets. 100% recommend

    Super friendly staff and you could tell there was solid hospitality knowledge by the way some aspects are presented. There’s always fresh water, towels etc You might pay a bit more than other places we’ve checked but that extra premium is totally worth. The place makes you feel immediately at home. We were also offered a temporary room to leave our bags and take a shower before leaving to the airport (there was a gap between the check out and our flight) this sort of details make the difference. Thank you Wendy for always being super helpful and the owner for being super flexible and nice with us during our short stay! Isabela beach house definitely pairs the great experience you will have in such a beautiful island with a great accommodation experience!
