Good place to stay
Pros:

Nice stay with very good people and friendly staff. Room was good and a/c worked well.

Cons:

There are ants about which, maybe common for the island, but it feels like a little more can be done to prevent this.

Isabela est une île où les touristes sont moyennement bien accueillis. On a un peu l’impression d’être des porte monnaie
Pros:

L’emplacement était parfait. L’accueil sympa. Petite terrasse avec étendage bien pratique. L’endroit est calme proche des flamands roses et des balades le long d’une superbe plage.

Cons:

Il a plu et la chambre a été inondée.

Good location for a few days.
Pros:

Comfy bed. Good shower. Kitchen available. Drinking water available. Close to the flamingos.

Cons:

No shampoo. I assumed toiletries meant shampoo as well. Every morning at 9am a wind instrument is played very loudly somewhere.

You won't regret booking here.
Pros:

I had the most comfortable and welcoming stay here. Everything was close by, the place was beautiful and I slept better then I have in months. The owners were amazing and helped me book tours, taxis and a late check out when I asked. The facilities were kept spotless and I really appreciated the friendly nature of The owners. Its right by the beach so you can hear the waves at night and only a minute or two walk from the best restaurants and bars.

Couldn't recommend highly enough and I'll definitely stay here again if I come back to the Galapagos.

Cons:

Nothing.

Parece un hostel más que un hostal
Pros:

Lo que más nos gustó fue la zona en la que está ubicado el hotel.
El bar de Beto sí es un sitio de ambiente agradable y en plena playa.

Cons:

No nos informaron de que había una cocina común para poder comprar comida y mantenerla refrigerada hasta dos días más tarde.
Después de todo, los utensilios de la comida estaban en un estado muy gastado, sucio. No daban ganas de usar nada allí.
La habitación daba directamente a la calle. Era muy básica.

Pros:

The location, right next to the best beach bars and restaurants. The room was comfortable.

Cons:

I didn’t have the internet working the whole time. Every time I wanted to use the kitchen in the morning there was some issue (no gas, then no lighter, then locked…). I missed some welcome instructions eg. about the taxi from the harbour.

Loved my stay. Perfect spot for a great sleep with a cool beach bar to have a beer & laze in the hammock and watch t
Pros:

Miguel & Edit were amazing hosts. Family run business which was nice. Had an issue with the aircon when I checked in which was immediately resolved by switching rooms. Great to have the beachfront bar and everything an easy walk. Rooms were clean and comfy. Miguel organised my tours and taxis which were all amazing.

Cons:

Nada
