Fantastic views and location but aging facility
Pros:

Excellent location. You feel like you are right on the beach and are right in the middle restaurants and shops. Great ocean views! The staff were very friendly breakfast was good!

Cons:

We booked a tour through the hotel and found out they upcharged us by nearly double the going rate. I would expect to pay more for the booking fee but not nearly 100% more. When we asked about a transfer from the ferry they indicated it would cost $50. A taxi is $2/person for reference. The hotel is dated and in need of some TLC; mould in the shower, stained towels, broken umbrellas, etc. Being next to the ocean I expect upkeep is constant but they are not staying ahead of it. Do not expect a high end hotel for the price. Because Isabela Island is so incredible and the hotel location and views are so fantastic we were willing to overlook the condition of the hotel and upcharges and not let it negatively impact our stay. But manage your expectations is you stay here.

Muy agradable
Pros:

La vista de la habitación a la playa ( costo diferenciado), la ubicación del hotel, en la calle donde se ubican bares y restaurantes, muy cerca del mercado donde se come rico y a buen precio Se destaca la atención de Sofía

Cons:

Cuesta regular la temperatura del agua de la ducha. Las habitaciones con vista al mar del primer piso quedan expuestas por el tránsito de la gente por la calle.
La caja fuerte es pequeña

Bardzo dobra relacja ceny do jakości, świetny personel.
Pros:

Hotel przy, a właściwie na plaży. W minutę spaceru w lewo lub w prawo zaczynają się bary i restauracje, do plaży 15 kroków, do morza 50 ( trochę mniej w czasie przypływu). W recepcji lodówka ze schłodzonym winem, spokojnym albo musującym, po znośnych (jak na Galapagos) cenach.

Cons:

Wolałbym w strefie śniadaniowej termos z kawą parzoną, dostępna była tylko instant.

Overpriced
Pros:

El personal 10/10 en especial Diana que nos atendió el primer desayuno.

Cons:

Se siente como estar en un Hostal súper básico.
Las cortinas de la habitación parece que se van a romper, el closet súper pequeño, el baño pequeño, y me queme tratando de bañarme con agua.
La habitación con vista al mal tiene vista, pero también hay un montón de cables que interrumpen la vista.
El desayuno es básico, pero los meseros se esmeran en atender bien.
Hay mejores opciones para alojarse por el mismo o menor precio.
No volveríamos.

Pros:

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.

Exceptional
Pros:

This was such a comfortable property and was directly on the beach. The views were amazing and the staff were very friendly. The location was in the middle of town and perfect for walking/exploring around you.
