We stayed two nights at Casa de Marita. Location is amazing right on beach, breakfast was great. We ate at the hotel restaurant for dinner one night, and it was great too. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel.
Marita and her staff run a great property. The rooms are clean, the staff friendly and I found it to be a good value.

Misleading pictures of rooms on Expedia were not representative of all rooms. Our initial booking was for a Garden Room which was dated and not to the same standard as the seaview rooms pictured, but a seaview room had not been available to book. However, when we discovered tiny ants swarming the bedding, staff moved us for 2 nights into a seaview room. As the hotel was full we returned to the Garden Room for 3 nights and again had a problem with another swarm of tiny ants and a cockroach. Staff cleaned the room and were able to move us to a seaview room for the remaining 2 nights of our stay. Eve on reception spoke English and was helpful and breakfast staff were friendly and warm. The location was good - close to the town and beach, but also close to a noisy road which disturbed us every morning in the garden room as it was busy daily with the early 5am transfer taxis. The seaview rooms were further away from the road and peaceful with the sound of the ocean, had stunning views and were more modern and tastefully decorated. No rooms had a safe, despite this being a listed feature on the website. There was a safe at reception. We had to pay with a debit card as payment could not be processed on check in using perfectly valid credit cards which had worked in Santa Cruz and Ecuador before and after the trip. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed an excellent meal in a scenic beach setting although it was more expensive than many local restaurants in town.
Excelente! Me encantó el servicio del personal en especial de Johanna. Cuando llegue me recibió con un jugo de mora súper amable. Me ayudó a comprar mi ticket en avioneta hacia el aeropuerto de Baltra y rápidamente me entregó la habitación. El hotel es muy bonito y la habitación es súper grande al igual que su baño. Definitivamente lo recomiendo!
Good location walk to town. Marita and her staff were very helpful and could not have been more welcoming. Hotel was clean, food was very good. We ate dinner once and breakfast each of 3 day stay
La Casa de Marita was the ideal property to decompress on Isabela after the hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz. It's close to town and restaurants, but sufficiently removed to offer a quiet respite. And, it's close to both Concha Perla for great snorkeling and the ferry lines for day trips or when it's time to depart.
Family owned and run. The property has fallen behind on many current trends like a safe in the room and mirror in the bedroom. The tiles in the bedroom and bath and shower are so slick when wet they are a huge fall risk. Cockroaches line the walks in the morning are fortunately dead or they could be saddled and ridden to the beach. However, the setting is outstanding, the views wonderful, the meals great except for the breakfast which is mundane and much the same day after day. The owner and staff are pleasant but do not show much enthusiasm toward the guests.
The first thing you notice about this place is the location - you can walk right through the lobby and back out onto a perfect sand beach. There's also plenty of seating on the ground-level patio. The center of town is a short walk away, and the area felt very safe - convenient but still quiet. The employees at Casa Marita were also friendly and very helpful with everything from switching rooms (I decided I wanted to upgrade to an ocean view once I got there), ordering drinks, and calling taxis and tour companies. I would definitely stay here again!
Great location and amazing beach view, could walk directly from the hotel porch to the ocean. Unfortunately our room was disgusting and very dirty. In the bathroom there was a lot of old lizards poo on all the edges and surfaces. When we complained we got a new room which was a downgrade from our first room. We were offered a complimentary glass of wine as compensation.
The property had an excellent location and the beach was beautiful. The room was clean and the overall hotel tidy. The common areas were comfortable and well kept. Internet was available and fast enough to connect with home, email etc.
