The Albemarle’s old world charm and beachfront access to La Playa Isabela makes it an ideal location to enjoy the island’s striking beauty and tranquility. The staff is excellent - we particularly appreciated Olivia’s gracious assistance.

The location of the property was ideal - right on the beach and close to the town square with easy access to dining and tours. We stayed in the rooms with balconies overlooking the beach, which were clean and spacious. Staff made check-in easy and we appreciated the snack pack they provided on our departure day (we had to leave at 5am to catch a 6am ferry!). Overall, our stay here was comfortable and we would stay here again.

The front desk lady is wonderful and helpful. Isabella is a tiny island but the hotel Is a nice respite from snorkeling. Their sister property is anat is right down the beach and offers lounge chairs under umbrellas with views of the sea. Breakfast is great. Roof terrace could use some lounges and a bit more shade though.

The Front desk receptionist is super nice to us, allowing us to have a late checkout after our diving tour, so that we could take a shower before our Ferry. All the amenities, location, and all other things are probably the best on this island that you could find.

6/10

It is a beautiful and comfortable hotel on the beach, with very good beds and delicious breakfast. The staff is very kind and helpful. However, it can get really noisy during the weekend (we stayed 3 nights) because it is located right behind the town's main square where there are very loud speakers during the day. Also, there's a soccer field next to the hotel, also with loud speakers until late at night, and they played several times on Saturday and Sunday. Monday night was quiet.

Louis and the staff are very friendly. Room was big. Breakfast was good. No internet in the room was a little annoying as we had to step out of the room for internet connection. Nice beach in front of the hotel.

The property and people were great. Their is a community soccer field adjoining the property on the side I stayed on and my room has an open screen window. Their were soccer games and music often in the mornings and one night until midnight, so it was noisy.

Juliet, the manager, checked on us consistently to make sure we were happy and had what we needed. Amazing.

Best hotel on the island. Wonderful location, amazing view from the beach facing rooms. Incredibly helpful staff. I booked for 2 nights and then extended for a full week. Definitely a highlight of my 4-week stay in the Galapagos. The staff can make recommendations and assist with whatever you need. Bicycle rentals, laundry, tour offices all nearby. Do not hesitate to book this property. Isla Isabela has a laid back vibe but plenty to do. Giant tortoises on the bike path, and marine iguans everywhere.

The staff will go out of their way to make you comfortable. Never seen any hotel staff more sincere about their job. They even arranged a taxi for us in early wee hours on their tabs - The taxi driver cheated us though asking 3 times the regular fare and said hotel did not pay him. Other than that small incident, we had our best vacation time at this hotel.

This was a wonderful, ocean-front property in the tiny village of Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island. The hotel manager, Ana, was absolutely fabulous. She could not have been more personable. She helped arrange tours and meals and made sure that we always felt at home. It was such a beautiful boutique hotel with the cozy feeling of home. It's a very small island with limited hotel offerings. I do not think there is a better place to stay. This property had a very nice breakfast, large rooms with ocean views, a small swimming pool, a sun terrace and the friendliest staff we experienced in the Galapagos.
