The Isabela Beach House

Such a wonderful place. Beautiful property right by the beach with super friendly staff. Especially Melany is a lovely person who instantly made me feel welcome and really cares about her guests. She helped organize tours and also gave me great advice on how to discover the island on my own. The location is also great, easy walking distance to the ferry pier and concha de perla (awesome snorkeling spot). And what could be a better start to your day than having breakfast right at the beach with a beautiful view? I absolutely loved staying here and hope to come back one day :)

Everything- the staff is amazing and the breakfast by the beach? The best I ever had!

Beautiful location, friendly staff

Nothing to dislike

Location beautiful, room comfort and clean, breakfast lovely. All round good stuff

Isabela Beach House is so charming. It’s right on the beach, and though it seems secluded, it’s convenient to the docks and to town. The real gem, though, is Melanie at the reception desk. She was absolutely delight, helpful, and anticipated our needs. 5 stars for Isabela Beach House and Melanie!

A wonderful guesthouse right on the beach, yet in a quiet location. The rooms are large, quiet, and clean. It's great to be able to walk out of the hotel and swim in 15 seconds. The beach is beautiful and the ocean is warm. The main restaurants and shops are a leisurely 10-15 minute walk away. It's very conveniently located, equidistant from the port and the city center. Excellent breakfasts with fruit, eggs, coffee, and delicious smoothies. The entire staff is very pleasant and eager to help. One downside: there's no refrigerator in the room, but we knew that in advance.

I'm removing two stars because of an unpleasant incident with the transfer to the port. We had an early ferry from the port and asked for a taxi to be called at 4 a.m. By 4:10 a.m., no one had arrived. We were afraid of missing the ferry and had to walk along a dark, muddy road in a pouring rain. All our luggage was soaked by the time we got to the port. If it hadn't been for the downpour, it wouldn't have been so critical; the port isn't very far, but we were unlucky. So keep in mind that if you book a transfer through your hotel, it might not show up. I don't know whose fault it is, the hotel or the driver, but perhaps the hotel should work with more reliable drivers, since it's impossible to just hail a taxi from the street at 4 a.m.

Staff is phenomenal. Very attentive, friendly and helpful

The sand all over

The location was amazing! Everyone was helpful and kind and made our short stay an incredible one.

There was nothing not to like.

Excellent in all categories. Would return to the same property if it was práctical for us, being senior citizens and living so far away from the Galapagos.

Nada, zero, nichts, wala, nothing!

We loved it!! Fantastic - the 3 staff members who looked after us were delightful and very helpful. Bags were delivered to our room, we were given a helpful overview for the property, we rented snorkels and flippers ($3 each item). We also met the owner who stopped by to say hello, which was really nice also. The location is excellent, with the beach right on your doorstep. Beautiful sunset from the bedroom. Lovely outdoor seating areas in front of the room also. About an 8-10min walk to Concha Perla and the ferry port. Also an easy flat walk into town to get to the shops, pharmacy and restaurants. Breakfast was fabulous for $10 each - fruit, coffee, eggs, waffle, and muesli with yogurt. Very tasty. They gave us breakfast at 6:40 so we could eat before our Sierra negra horse riding and hike tour. We were also able to leave our bags in the room and have a late check out because they had no one else checking in. The room and bathroom were both very big and comfortable. Having the fly screen meant we could have the sea breeze without bugs which was great. Air con also worked really well. Comfy beds. Hot shower with great pressure. Lots of little things also - plenty of bins, plenty of hooks in the bathroom, nice garden!

Pillows were a bit thin - I doubled up and used two which was comfortable. We could hear someone upstairs walking around in their room at 4am. Didn’t bother me as I went back to sleep easily but my mum found it a bit more tricky to go back to sleep.
