Can’t say enough good things. Staff was super accommodating- Michelle at the front desk is amazing. She helped us organize taxis around town and even asked us upon check in if we needed breakfast early any days because of early morning tours. Breakfast is made fresh for every guest, rooms are clean with great AC. Couldn’t ask for much more on Isabela.

We loved this hotel from the moment we arrived. It is at a great location. The staff is very warm, friendly and most helpful with recommendations. Sofia checked us in early, Melina arranged for a very early taxi to the airport. The rooms were clean and cool. Breakfast was delicious. My husband and I enjoyed our time there and we highly recommend this hotel.

What an incredible experience this was! Waking up to the sea view! It's close to bars, small shops, great restaurants. The staff was amazing and so kind! Unforgettable stay! The room was clean and tidy. Some reviews here maybe forgot this is an island ;) so yes, you might have geckos in the room and if it rains heavily, water might come in. The staff will find a solution to make you feel comfortable! It's truly been an amazing stay. Highly recommend it!

Lovely place right on the beach. Great location, walking distance form lots of restaurants and shops. Not that far from pier, like 20 min walk. Staff super nice and helpful. Proactively reached out to us to make sure we had breakfast either in their terrace or giving us a to-go bag. I’d definitely will stay here again.

This property is located right on the beach. Breathtaking views of pelicans fishing, waves crashing and the sounds of the ocean. This is your destination stay on Isabela. Super staff, an excellent morning breakfast and very helpful with tour pickup coordination. Within walking distance of Flamingos and a large iguana crossing. The town square is just down the street.

Loud and uncomfortable

Around the clock noise, our room was on the 2nd floor directly below the food prep and serving area so starting st 6am it was constant noise. People and dog noise until 1-2am. Staff friendly. This is more of a hostel with a bathroom (beware no window/glass just a mesh), running water was a hit or miss. Bugs and ants everywhere. We stayed here 3 nights.

The property is beautiful - right on the beach, surrounded by fun restaurants, amazing views from the breakfast deck. The women working there were so wonderful, especially Tatiana and the woman making breakfast. Otherwise, I did not feel like it was worth the price. The rooms were smaller than they looked in the photos, and the windows weren't sealed so lots of bugs got in. The bathroom only has a screen, no window, and there was a ton of noise in the area late into the tonight which I didn't expect.
