Hotel Albemarle Galapagos Beachfront

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 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.

We had a few major issues at Albemarle: 1. the shower went from very hot to very cold instantly and unpredictably, which made for very stressful showers 2. the hotel is right next to a loud bar and a loud soccer pitch. We were tired and wanted to sleep so the central and noisy location was problematic. 3. We couldn't access our balcony so what's the point and we didn't have a place to dry bathing suits. The kids did enjoy the pool. I would recommend a place at either end of the beach (Isamar on one end, Iguana Crossing on the other) and away from the noisy center.

We had a wonderful experience at the Albemarle. The room was beautiful and had a balcony overlooking the beach and ocean. The staff was very friendly and could wasily answer all of our questions. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place, right on the beach. Great breakfasts, lovely rooms and Ariel at the front desk is super helpful! Thanks so much.

Was a great place to stay on Isabela Island! The room was super spacious, and being right on the beach was such a bonus—we could hear the waves at night, which was amazing. It’s really close to restaurants, and Concha de Perla was just a 15-minute walk away (or a quick taxi ride away). The staff were super helpful, arranging a trip for us and even offered custom breakfast items (the regular breakfast was pretty simple). The bathroom was basic, but it did the job. Overall, it’s a great spot for a beachy, convenient stay!

I have been trying to get a full credit from this Hotel for nearly a month. Although they promised to credit my card, they have not. I would suggest this is reflective of their overall business practices. It has been difficult to communicate with them as well. Though I haven't stayed at the property which looks lovely online and the initial reservation correspondence was pleasant. If they charge you when you reserve and say its refundable but you cant get the refund, then I suggest this might not be the right hotel (or group of hotels, Darwolf) to stay at.

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

We had a great stay!

The staff here was excellent and the bed was really comfortable.
