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.
