We had a wonderful time! Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and we also enjoyed an amazing dinner during our stay. The cocktails were delicious and perfectly made. The staff provided excellent recommendations for things to do on Isabela Island, which really enhanced our experience. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality. The location right by the ocean was perfect, and everything was clean and well maintained. Highly recommended! Jenny , Pam and Rafael

The hotel is close to a ferry (5 min walk ), the beach is really nice and the staff is friendly. Gabrilella was super helpful . The only problem is the condition of the hotel : it’s very outdated and you can see bugs and little lizards , even in the best room Acadia. There is not dinner there but they have drinks and breakfast .

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a very comfortable stay. The reception staff were really welcoming and spent time explaining all about Isablea island and the hotel. The room had 2 beds (family of 2adults / 1 child) and the shower had plenty of hot water. Wifi is a bit hit and miss on Isabela. The room also had a TV. Breakfast was lovely with fruit, personalised hot breakfast and toast / croissants. Great location right on the beach and only a 3 minute walk to the main shops / restaurants

Isamar was the perfect place for our family to relax and visit our son who is studying abroad on Isabela Island. If I were going back, I would definitely stay there again. The location right on the beach was perfect! There was a very calm area in the ocean protected by volcanic rock where my daughter loved to play. Other locals brought their children to play there also - safe from the waves. The breakfast was good with plenty of choices. We ate supper there on our last evening and it was our favorite meal on the Island. They opened a small bar every evening, which was so nice and convenient. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, AC was cool, showers were hot, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Don’t hesitate to book at Isamar. You won’t be disappointed.

All the staff were amazing. Our host Eva is to be commended for, her attention to details and making sure we had everything we needed. Only downside were a few ants in the bathroom area. I'm sure this is probably unavoidable given that nature does it thing in the Galapogas!

Mixed feelings. Beautiful beach, nice rooms, good breakfast. Very clean. A lady who spoke english was very nice and helpful. One thing that spoiled the experience: laundry service returned clothes soaking wet and missing two tshirts. There were hours without light and water, but that was because of the reasons not depending on the hotel.

Good place to stay

Is a small hotel and the price is a little high but is because Isabela Island is the most expensive Island in Galapagos but in my opinion is the best Island and worth it. The beach in front of the hotel was amazing specially in the mornings when the water goes down. Also the best thing about the hotel is the kindness of the people specially Jimmy the owner, he help us with all the info before our trip and also he arranged our transportation from Baltra to Isabela, also he book our paid tours in the island (the best is the tunnels tour). The internet conection sucks but is not something about the hotel, in general the internet connection in galápagos.

Comfortable stay

Room was comfortable. Hotel staff helped us to arrange for snorkeling and ferry, provided information about island. Breakfast starts at 7 AM, but many activities starts at 7 AM as well. We asked for breakfast at 6:40AM, and front desk person promised that it will be ready. Next morning breakfast was not ready. Please, put this into consideration if you are planning early morning activities. Hotel is located relatively close to ferry station, but hotel charge for transfer. Consider the cost of this hotel transfer should be included.

The perfect place to stay while in Isabella

Everything about my stay was first rate. I am very particular and well traveled. My expectations are high and they were greatly exceeded. Not only is everything in working order, clean, great beach location but The staff is 5 Star! Juan who is the property manager is an excellent resource while in Isabella. In the 100+ properties I have visited, his Passion to help goes well beyond his job responsibility. This gentleman truly wants all of his guests to feel like family. Thank you Juan for the personal attention you give all your guests. Also a shout out to Amy who manages breakfast. Her lovely smile and easy way made breakfast peaceful and did I mention the food was delicious. A repeat visit is definitely in the future. If you’re going to Isabella you will not find a better value or accommodations. Next year I will be bringing my entire family to this property.
