10/10 Exceptional

This property was stunning and had gorgeous views everywhere you turned. It is very tastefully decorated and the morning breakfasts overlooking the ocean is magical. The bed and room was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was large and the room was very comfortable for all 3 of us. It was an amazing stay for us and the little boat ride into the city was always beautiful and the boat drops you off basically right at the doorstep of the hotel. We also ate at the restaurant and the menu was very tasty. I highly recommend staying here if you want a luxurious, yet fitting trip to the Galapagos.

4/10 Fair

Nice location on the beach and the staff were kind but there was no hot water in the room. We complained and were moved but after experiencing one hot shower in the room we moved to, it went cold again. The rooms were noisy. There was drilling going on and you could hear noise from the other guests. Breakfast was reasonable but the coffee was horrible.

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.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Nice location. Excellent breakfast. WiFi does not work in the room. Noise level is very high as it is next to park. Helpful staff.

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.
Verified review

6/10 Good

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.

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, uneven service.

Spent 3 nights here. The hotel was as advertised - right across from the beach, bright and well appointed with a small balcony that opened out to the road across from the beach. The internet was wonky - there were at least 3 different wifis, none of which worked all that week from our room (first floor, beach facing). Breakfast was good, the pool was nice and in an open area. When we confirmed, as required that we would arrive on our date and time, the day before via ferry, the hotel rep responded “we’ll be waiting for you.” No one showed up at the dock, when we asked the desk attendant she flatly said “we don’t do that, I’m not sure who told you that” - so we showed the message, and the response was “someone in Quito wrote that, I don’t know why, I’ll look into it.” We didn’t hear back. Finally, be forewarned, they billed us for the room a full 2 months before the trip (even before the cancellation/refund period lapsed) “to reserve our room” because of high season. Not a huge problem, just not something that was expected based on selecting the “pay at the property” option.
