“Fantastic accommodation with lovely owners who made us feel very welcome”

We had a great stay at this lovely accommodation. The owners are wonderful, friendly people who made us feel very welcome. The rooms are large and clean, and were cleaned everyday. The reception area is beautiful with hammocks that you can relax in and water and coffee were offered to us. The location is great, just a short walk from the beach and our hosts were very helpful with recommending restaurants and things to do/see. You can also book tours with them for a reasonable price. I must mention breakfast which is a lovely selection of fruit with eggs served how you like, fresh cheese and delicious bread! Also coffee, tea and fresh juice available. Thanks so much for a great stay, we would definitely come back if we ever return to Isabela.

“Great for the price”

Basic room but great for the price. A little off the main road so quiet in the evenings but within walking distance of everything. Staff were super friendly and really accommodating letting us check out later so we could still have the morning before leaving for the ferry.

“Too noisy unfortunately but staff were lovely. Probably best to avoid this area”

The staff were lovely

“Good location and nice staff! Good place to stay”

Very nice staff! The tours that we made started there. Good breakfast. Good location. Big room and good bed.

“Average hostel”

Quiet location Nice room ( twin room) but the 1-st night we stayed in a different one and not so nice . Fortunately they decided to move us to the better room on the 2end night. Comfortable beds.

Big room, super clean, good location, the best staff!

Very clean and nice rooms.

The rooms were spacious, especially considering the money. The rooms were very clean and cleaned daily. The laundry services were especially useful to travellers. When we arrived, we had lots of dirty clothes - $1 per lb of laundry is an absolute bargain. During our stay, we were never disturbed by noise.

Very nice staff, helpful with organizing tours. Rooms were nice and clean.

Nice staff, good price, good breakfast (partly buffet + egg-kitchen). Some minutes to walk to the center and the beach. Possibility to have a shower after check out if you take the afternoon ferry and free shuttle to the ferry.

“lovely visit!”

Bedroom was super clean, staff were lovely and very helpful and property was in a good location close to the centre.

“We would choose another hotel next time.”

Location, good starting point for day trips on Isabela.

- my booking was for a superior room . Upon arrival the lady owner had me for room 23 (bur after asking me twice if I was a single traveller and I said yes ) she downgraded me to room 21 ,which for sure didn’t meet the description of a superior room ( according to the booking page ) - upon arrival there was no information about how the breakfast is served ( I found out accidentally the next morning that breakfast is served a 0800 ) . But the owner and another gentleman were very eager and chatty about selling me a day trip to “ the tuneless” . Even the next morning at 0730 the lady owner was knocking on my door and once again asking me if I wanted to go on the day trip ( but nothing about how breakfast is served ). Of course at the end I was charged for my original booking and not for a standard room. The lady owner and the other gentleman should first make sure to accommodate and meet the criteria’s that the guests have asked and paid for and THEN should try selling the extras they have to offer .
