Pros:

Todo fue de 10! Primero quiero destacar la excelente atención de Miguel, un genio!!.

Desde el momento en que reservé e hice consultas contestaba inmediatamente con toda la predisposición y precisión! Excelente!!

Nos ayudó con las reservas de TODOS los Ferryes (Santa Cruz a Isabela y su regreso. Asi como de Sta Cruz a San Cristobal) cuestión importante si vas en temporada alta.

También nos guió, y luego reservó, las excursiones a realizar y las actividades en Isablea. Incluso me envió distintos contactos de Santa Cruz para organizar alli excursiones.

Sin palabras la amabilidad y la predisposición incluso luego de retirarme del hotel.

El hotel esta excelentetemente ubicado, la habitación estaba impecable de limpia y daba a la laguna de flamencos.

Cuentan con una terraza preciosa y un bar a la playa muy lindo!! Todo un 10. 100% x 100% recomendable!!

Wunderbares Hostel im Paradies
Pros:

Edith und ihre Familie waren sehr freundlich, immer ansprechbar und haben für mich Touren gebucht. Die Lage ist fantastisch und ruhig. Die Strandbar mit Hängematten direkt am Meer, kann man jederzeit nutzen, auch wenn die Bar geschlossen war. Gut ausgestatte Küche und Trinkwasserspender. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber. Vielen Dank!

It was an amazing stay, we had a great time and the staff was helpful.If they could fix the ants problem the stay would
Pros:

We loved the fact that it was next to the beach, they cleaned every day our apartment and it was quiet:)

Cons:

The fact that we had some ants even in the bedroom, even though we were very carefull not to eat there …

Dated property with muddy entrance, slow Wi-Fi, and no filtered drinking water. I would not stay here again.
Pros:

⭐⭐☆☆☆

My stay at Hostal Galápagos by Bar de Beto was disappointing overall. While the location was convenient and the staff was generally friendly, the property has several issues that affected my experience.

The building is quite old and appears to need maintenance and updating. There was often a lot of mud outside the entrance, making it unpleasant to enter and leave the property. The internet was very slow and unreliable, which was frustrating when trying to plan activities or stay connected. Another inconvenience was the lack of filtered drinking water for guests, something I have come to expect even at budget accommodations in the Galápagos.

Because of these issues, I did not feel the property offered good value for the price. Unfortunately, I would not choose to stay here again and would look for other options on my next visit to Isabela Island.

Cons:

Slow internet. No filtered water. Mud outside the property.

Pros:

La struttura é fantastica, ha una vista insuperabile e anche se è sopra un bar, é tranquillissima. Edith é stata molto carina e simpatica, ci ha aiutato a organizzare tutte le nostre escursioni ad un prezzo vantaggioso (tra l'altro bellissime escursioni con guide competenti)

Cons:

Niente, tutto bellissimo, era tutto come ti aspetti da un'isola autentica e selvaggia
