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.

Everything was amazing. The location, just in front of the sea and the facilities were great. And the staff, all were nice and always available and helpful. In our case, they all gave us tips on things to do in the island. Defenitely recommended.

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...
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.

Casita de la Playa is just a beautiful hotel situated on the beach. Rooms were lovely most with a view. The staff was superb and very helpful with everything and anything. Housekeeping was great, towels were lovely, rooms have ac, very spacious, clean and fresh.
Breakfast was made fresh daily, plentiful and very delicious. Reception was most helpful with local information, tours and any needs they went above and beyond. Thank you!
We had one of the two beachfront rooms (Acadia) that looked out onto the ocean and had magnificent view. Daniel the bartender from 4 - 8 pm each night was excellent. Location is close to everything in Isabela - the pier as well as the main town. Best part of hotel was being directly on the nicest beach in Isabela that was perfect for bodysurfing (no rocks in the water like the other beaches).
The host from this hotel is the first one to tell me that Galapagos changed the requirements to the visitors, I really appreciated it. the host also booked multiple tours for me, and scheduled everything else. room was very clean, water, fruit are available. breakfast was free and they served the breakfast around our schedule. it was a nice stay, and I really really like Island Isabella!
it’s very clean, good ocean view. compared to similar hotels in Galapagos, it felt very modern , upgraded, great water pressure and it came with a room secret box. It is close to everything around town. Diana was great and helped us organize all of our day tours so we didn’t have to worry about it. It had great complimentary breakfast.
Fantastic hosts Carlos and Anne , made us feel welcome every step of the way! Very friendly and helpful with providing local information and where to book different activities. Wonderful location by the sea and very comfortable accomodation. Highly recommend this hotel to others looking to stay on Isabela, a definite gem of the island.
The owner and his wife were very friendly. They made sure our stay was going well. We had a slight issue with the water handle and it was fixed in minutes. The location was great, the staff were excellent and provided wonderful customer service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who visits the island.
We stayed 4 nights and no complains!
Very helpful and kind staff. The room has air conditioning.
The hotel has a kitchen and an open terrace with nice view.
Even though the check out is quite early, they allow to use the private bathroom for taking a shower after the check out.
the owner is very sweet! she also has a great reputation around town. we were gifted a free surfboard rental by a man in town, only because we were staying at her hotel! she also was able to get us ferry tickets when the tour agencies in town could not! this lady is spectacular!
The Black Pearl is a wonderful spot if you do not mind a short walk into town (very short walk). the hosts were so helpful and informative. The hotel is attached to a travel agency, so booking tours was very easy. Lovely room, perfect amount of space for a single traveler.
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.
Fantastic hostel, more like a hotel in the privates... We were delighted with it all, especially the tours we booked with Galapagos native through the hotel/hotel group san Vicente. Would highly recommend, nicest setup on the galapagos
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Loja. The man on reception (Byron) is so super kind and friendly. The breakfast every day was great and they switched it up which was good. They will also make an earlier breakfast if needed for your tour.
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.
The hotel is close to the snorkelling spot (playa concha) but still not too far from the centre. July, the host, was very nice and even made us sandwich for our way back to Santa Cruz since the ferry leaves very early.
Very nice hotel directly at the beach!
Staff is very helpful and answers questions quick and easy via whatsapp. They helped us booking some activities and everything went perfect!
the ac was so loud we couldn’t sleep, it sounded like an old engine, really bad, wouldn’t come back or recommend this hotel prices are expensive for very poor service.
Met us at ferry to take us to hotel. Walked with us around the town to show us good places to eat and how to find our way back to hotel. Good breakfast.
