Really great stay. Comfortable, coffee/tea on hand anytime, really good breakfast, extremely friendly staff. My review is only “Good” and not “Excellent” because I had a pair of expensive shorts go missing.

Relatively new hotel by a family who is passionate about hospitality. Huge rooms, elegantly appointed, and the best bed I’ve ever slept in. Unusual for a rather downscale town, but still felt authentic to the surroundings. Beautiful public spaces on all floors with scenic views. And a genuinely warm staff.

Small property with approx 10 rooms. Rooms on 2nd floor offers more privacy. Guests have complimentary use of rooftop jaccuzzi, do book in advance. While stay was decent, overall experience was marred by a sudden power outage in the middle of the night and into the morning of check out. This meant not having water access to bathe, brushing of teeth on check out which was a miserable experience. Housekeeping also failed to ensure replacement towels were dry. Breakfast was good by Galapagos standard and kitchen did their best to prep breakfast the morning of power outage.

Hidden Gem within the island

Great hotel experience! A friend recommended us to stay here, and we could have not been happier. From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home; the hotel staff were extremely welcoming and super helpful throughout our stay, whether answering questions, or sharing suggestions, genuinely nice people. Check-in was smooth, rooms are modern, clean and comfortable with a great view. The hotel is located only a few steps from el Malecon, the main area, where you will find tour agencies, stores, restaurants and boats to other islands. I would absolutely come back, my partner and I are grateful with everyone that made our stay there wonderful :)

Without hesitations, this is one of the nicest hotels the area has to offer. It is newly built. Modern rooms. Spacious bedroom. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast. Excellent location in the heart of the city. Walking distance to restaurants. Walking distance to Charles Darwin research center. Nice rooftop with water views. Nice Jacuzzi on the rooftop. Quaint and small hotel. Excellent overall. Book right away.

What a great hotel! Clean and very open and breezy. The staff was awesome, helpful and so nice, anything you need they seemed to have. The breakfast buffet was great, something different every day in addition to the usual stand-bys. We just can't say enough nice things about our stay. La Isla is right off the main street and very convenient for walking.
