Great experience. The location is fantastic and the staff was excellent. Staff was attentive, even going the extra mile to pack us a breakfast to go and offering to help arrange a taxi for our early ferry. Breakfast every day was amazing: made to order with an incredible view.

This property is located right on the beach. Breathtaking views of pelicans fishing, waves crashing and the sounds of the ocean. This is your destination stay on Isabela. Super staff, an excellent morning breakfast and very helpful with tour pickup coordination. Within walking distance of Flamingos and a large iguana crossing. The town square is just down the street. Book it now!

The property is beautiful - right on the beach, surrounded by fun restaurants, amazing views from the breakfast deck. The women working there were so wonderful, especially Tatiana and the woman making breakfast. Otherwise, I did not feel like it was worth the price. The rooms were smaller than they looked in the photos, and the windows weren't sealed so lots of bugs got in. The bathroom only has a screen, no window, and there was a ton of noise in the area late into the tonight which I didn't expect.

I loved my room at this property, I had the best view ever! The staff went above and beyond my wildest dreams in assisting me whenever I asked. The breakfasts were amazing as they provided local cuisine -- green plantain dishes that I loved. They even explained how the dishes were prepared. It was incredible.

Great view. Clean rooms, nice & helpful staff. The area in front of the hotel needs updating.. add some nicer lawn furniture, lounge chairs, umbrellas. Would have been nice to have lounge chairs and umbrellas actually on the beach. Breakfast needs improving, fruit wasn't ripe and eggs were cold. For the price I would definitely stay here again. They could do some small changes to make it really nice.

The staff and location were amazing. They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed to make our stay on the island enjoyable, even offering to box breakfast for us for early morning excursions. They also let us stow our gear there on checkout day as we were taking the late ferry. Over all one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had.
