Guest Reviews

• Vanessa (8/5): My stay was great. Had everything offered that i needed. - Loved the location, the staff and the general amenities. I didn’t have a fridge in my room as described. I also had to ask for an extra towel as only given one and the pillows need a little resuscitating. Had to get two to add up to one. Now having said that I don’t like these things. I only had to ask for more towel and more pillows. Not a make or break.
• lau_beck (10/5): - Todo!!! Ubicacion, limpieza, distribución, detalles suler agradables como tender para colgar ropa mojada, ducha para quitarse la arena en el patio, el lobby super agradable y acogedor Amas gigantes y muy confortables Super recomendable Coral Blanco Nada q decir
• Vanessa (9/5): -
• Pablo (10/5): Excelente alojamiento, gratamente sorprendido - Personal muy muy amable. Lugar limpio, cómodo y bien ubicado. Rico desayuno. Nada.
• HARUNA (9/5): とても快適で清潔　お得感がある - とにかく清潔。毎日ハウスキーピングがある。朝ごはんも美味しい（バナナケーキ、卵焼き、サラミ、マンゴー、スイカなどのビュッフェ。ハエ避けのカバーも付けてくれている）。無料のドリンクサーバーがあるし、水のペットボトルも1ドルでとても良心的。部屋の設備にタオルやドライヤーもある。 宿泊代はクレジットカード払いができる。 トイレットペーパーが三角折りされていたのも日本以外で初めて見たのでびっくりした。間違いなく富裕層向けを意識したホテルなのでこの価格で泊まれて驚いた。 とても快適だったので2泊しか滞在できなかったのが残念。 スターリンクは遅く、あまり使い物にならなかった。バスルームだと接続が切れる。 これはガラパゴス島全体の問題ではあるが、あまりにもハエや 蚊が多い。夜中にテラスに座って涼んでいると5分で7箇所刺される。せめて部屋の中には入りこまないよう殺虫剤など置いてほしい。 港へのタクシーを呼んでくれていたが、タクシーは時間よりも5分くらい早く到着していたらしく、危うく置いていかれるところだった。 また、港に向かう途中で関係ない観光客をバスに乗せており、彼らには乗車賃を請求していなかったので、真面目にお金を払った自分だけ損しているような気持ちになった。 トイレのゴミ箱の形が捨てづらい。 手で直接ゴミ箱の蓋を触りたくないので、 足踏みペダルで開くタイプのゴミ箱などを採用してほしかった。
• Filippo (9/5): Nice stay, good staff - Nice place, close to the beach. I enjoyed the breakfast The room was clean, the AC worked well Hot water so so
• David (9/5): - Straat direct achter strand, op je blote voeten over de zandweg doorsteken naar het strand. Mooie binnentuin voor ontbijt of heerlijk even niets doen. Mooie plek, vriendelijke behulpzame mensen die goed Engels spreken. 1 persoonskamer is wel echt klein, maar goed, zoveel ben je er niet. Mijn airco maakte wel wat veel lawaai...
• Maria del Pilar (10/5): -
• Chester (9/5): Very pleasant lodging close to everything. - Enjoyable breakfast on covered patio. Beds comfy, air con worked well. Close to beach and restaurants. Staff helpful with arranging tours. We were there 5 nights. Bedside tables. No refrigerator in room. No chair, had to sit on bed.
• Vivian (10/5): - Hele mooie locatie, faciliteiten en vriendelijk personeel Niets
• STAHL (10/5): - Good taste, excellent service, great breakfast, staff helpful and they will go out of their way to accommodate you. That I couldn't stay there with my whole family
• William (10/5): Great place to stay on Isabela! - Clean and comfortable rooms, great location! Fresh and delicious breakfast offerings. Enjoyed our stay! Nothing! Really nice!
• Robin (7/5): If you like basic comfort it can work. - The staff is super nice and the breakfast is actually good ! The room is a bit basic, the picture from booking give a better impression that what it is actually. A bit noisy (neighbors, road), and the internet does not works really well at least from my room.
• Wayne (9/5): Great location, front desk assistance made the difference. - The location was great as was Shirley, who worked the front desk, problem solved, helped organize size tours, taxis, etc. One of our rooms with a queen bed was very tiny, possibly the tiniest hotel room we've had. A little more too for luggage and being able to walk by your spouse would have helpful. Our kids' room was 2 twin beds and considerably larger and had a fridge
• Inés (10/5): - Me alojé en una habitación individual para una persona. Todo perfectamente equipado y pensado para la comodidad. Tienen aire acondicionado. El patio es común donde hay hamacas, sofás, libros, dispensador de agua… Muy cómodo y bien cuidado. Tienen tendedero para dejar los bañadores o equipo snorkel secándose. Tienen duchas post playa y te deja toalla de playa además. El desayuno es completo, cambian cada día el plato caliente y los huevos. Incluye yogur, fruta, pan… Y el servicio es genial. Muy atentos, siempre dispuestos a ayudarte. Me dejé un bikini secando y fueron súper amables, hicieron lo posible en entregármelo. Necesitaba un taxi y al momento me ayudaban a pedirlo. Estuve tan cómoda que decidí quedarme una noche más :) si vuelvo a isabela, sin duda repetiría! Para mí es un plus ya que no puedo tolerar el humo, pero estaba prohibido fumar en el hotel. Se agradece para la gente con problemas respiratorios y niños.
• Caroline (8/5): -
• James (10/5): - Really nice that they were able to let us leave the luggage throughout the day. Nice breakfast and very friendly staff who spoke excellent English.
• Leon (10/5): -
• Mylene (9/5): -
• Saskia (8/5): - Very supportive people, also as a tour operator
• Anika N (9/5): Super Lage und freundliches Personal - Super Aufenthalt, die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist perfekt und an sich war alles top, wir hatten nur leider ein ziemlich kleines Zimmer. Wir haben über die dazugehörige Agentur unsere Ausflüge buchen können, die alle super waren.
• Pablo (9/5): - Nice place, great breakfast, friendly staff, close to the beach, and ability to book tours through them!
• Jacqueline (7/5): Regular - Nos gustó mucho la ubicación, muy cerca a la playa y el staff era muy amable. El desayuno muy bueno y nos ayudaron con un breakfast box el ultimo dia que saliamos temprano. Tambien, nos gustó que tengan toallas para la playa que prestaban a los huéspedes La limpieza de las habitaciones no era muy buena, si bien tendian la cama, no se barria los pisos ni se limpiaba lo suficiente. Encontramos también una araña grande naranja en el baño el segundo día de nuestra estadia. Lo cual se entiende ya que estabamos en una isla pero creo que puede ser un tema de limpieza también. Además, el ultimo día nos ayudaron reservando un taxi para ir al muelle pero el taxi nunca llegó asi que no se confien
• Malgorzata (10/5): - Helpful and very welcoming personel
• andre (6/5): - l'arrivée. Le personnel, prends le temps de bien vous expliquer les règles de l'hotel, les possibilités d'excursions. Les horaires du petit déjeuner, très simple, ne sont pas adaptés aux excursions. La mauvaise explication des frais annexes aux réservations d'excursions, de transferts ... taxe à l'aéroport, frais bateau taxi, frais autobus pour se rendre à l'aéroport ....
• Sulen Daniela (9/5): - Great location and friendly staff. Rooms were clean and the water pressure was great. A lot of flies that get in your room.
• Reema (8/5): - Very helpful staff, nice breakfast, and excellent location, great value for money. Not much space in room for our luggage, housekeeping could be improved
• Sabrina (10/5): -
• Marcia (9/5): - La atención del personal, la ubicación del hotel como así también las excursiones que me organizaron. Muy atentos a cada detalle. Muy recomendable No
• Xiaohong (6/5): 一般 - 地理位置不错，去海滩很方便。周围也有很多店，可以租自行车、面罩等工具，买纪念品。 单人间实在是太小了，住起来并不舒适。 另外员工服务这块有待提高，我在这里订了一个sierra negra徒步的tour，所有这个团的客人全部是坐4人一辆的皮卡上山，而我被安排在一辆二三十人的卡车上，相当于我换了同样的钱，但是没有给我预留车位。后来找员工沟通，他们只是说是作为不够，也没有给出合理的解释。临走前让员工帮忙定第二天一早的出租车，但出租车到点也没来，说是出了问题。最后还是在街上随便揽了一辆车。
• Anny (10/5): Notre premier choix ! - L'emplacement était proche de la plage et des restaurants , le petit-dejeuner était super , un buffet avec un choix des oeufs . Tout est au rez-de-chaussée . Nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux. Nous y retournerons volontiers. Il y avait confusions pour les chambres ,mais ça a été vite réglé à notre convenance .
• Marius (1/5): -
• MARIA (10/5): -
• Simonetta (9/5): - L'accueil et la disponibilité du personnel. L'emplacement à 2 minutes de la mer.. Hotel agréable et sympathique Le petit déjeuner est pour moi en dessous des prestations globales de cet hôtel. Pas de beurre, ni de confiture, jus très bon marché, peu de fruits. Le point à améliorer pour moi
• Cristian Javier (6/5): - Muy limpio y excelente el desayuno. Shirley muy amable Mal asesoramiento para contratar las excursiones y poca formación para atender turistas. Las habitaciones pequeñas y calurosas, estuvimos en la habitación 6 y era un horno, tanto que el aire acondicionado no era suficiente.
• Mitch (10/5): Best place to stay on Isabela Island! - Fantastic place to stay on Isabela Island. The staff were super friendly, the location is great, close walking distance to everything. Less than 50 metres from the beach. Pick up and drop off from the ferry was great as well as local recommendations. Highly recommend! Nothing
• Steven (9/5): Beautiful hotel. Overpriced tours. - Beautiful small hotel. The staff are all lovely and the facilities are very clean and modern. Wifi works great. My only regret regarding the stay was booking tours through the hotel. They position themselves as tour operators, but I went on Los Tuneles and Sierra Negra tours and they outsource these trips at a premium rate. The tours themselves were high quality, but I could have saved money by booking directly with the actual providers in town rather than paying for the hotel's "convenience" of booking it for me.
• Maria (8/5): I will go back for sure, good esperience - The location was great, nice breakfast, The rooms are a bit dated but for the price is ok
• Rinaldo (9/5): En poco tiempo realizó lo que había planeado - Muy bien el desayuno y mucha disponibilidad del personal
• Marta (9/5): Genial! - Muy limpioby comodo. Es de los pocos que si pagabamos con tarjeta nos cobraban un recargo. En el resto de hoteles hemos podido pagar con tarjeta sin problemas. El desayuno muy bueno y en el centro. Personal muy amable.
• Leah (9/5): Highly recommend - Great location, great breakfast, lovely staff
• Delphine (9/5): je recommande - l emplacement, gentillesse du personnels chambre petite mais bien équipée et propre
• ANDRES (9/5): -
• Helmut (9/5): Perfekter Urlaubsausklang - Gute Lage, zweckerfüllend, sehr hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal, Agentur für Aktivitäten ist zu empfehlen Zimmer 6 direkt neben Frühstücksraum, ab 06:00 hört man die Vorbereitungsarbeiten
• Sonja (8/5): - Very helpful and kind staff, good breakfast, very comfortable beds, free coffee and tea 24/7, great location, fast and stable internet.
• Juan Cruz (10/5): Hermoso hotel, muy cómodo, limpio y con muy buena atención del personal - La atención del personal, el desayuno, el jardín y la cama.
• Jay (10/5): A beautiful oasis near the boat dock and downtown. - It was like a little clean oasis wry close to downtown Isabella. Short walk to and from the boat dock and to downtown. As well as near the flamingo lagoon and the beach. The courtyard is comfortable and I nice place for their terrific breakfast. And was a nice gathering place to meet and talk with other guests.
• catherine (9/5): Charmant établissement très propre - La propreté, les infrastructures mises à dispositions, la taille de l’établissement. J’avais oublié des effets perdonnels et l’hôtel les a retrouvés et m’a permis de lui récupérer. L’hôtel met à disposition des serviettes de plage (ce qui est très positif) mais malheureusement il est difficile de s’essuyer avec.
• federico (8/5): hotel muy recomendable en una isla autentica - Es un sitio pequeño y todo esta cerca, no obstante esta muy bien ubicado. El desayuno es correcto, no es malo, pero no te sorprende. Las habitaciones, están bien. En la recepción son amables Como indicaba el desayuno es mejorable, mas que por la cantidad por la variedad, dentro de que esta correcto. No es algo del hotel, ya que pasa en casi todos los establecimientos, pero el pago en tarjeta de crédito, incrementa el precio final que no se refleja cuando haces la reserva.
• Danielle (10/5): -
• Stephanie (9/5): -
• Simone (10/5): -
• Nadja (9/5): -
• Tom (8/5): - Great breakfast Location is perfect Rooms large and clean Staff friendly and helpful Shower is hot and works well It's very basic but that's correct for the price
• Ana Luisa (9/5): Good - Cleaning and neat Internet doesn't always work and doesn't work inside the room
• Eran (1/5): - NO HOT WATER, and HAIR from previous guests on the sheets we received. The hotel staff are very friendly, but that doesn’t help if the hotel itself lacks the minimum standards. The management offered us compensation, but it does not reflect the horrible experience we had
• Laurent (5/5): -
• Lisa (9/5): -
• Alexandra (8/5): Buena relación calidad-precio - Muy buena ubicación. Estaba limpio. Personal agradable. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. El desayuno era bueno por el precio. Repetiría Instalaciones algo anticuadas
• KAZUO (9/5): 便利 - 綺麗な部屋
• Lorenzo (10/5): Soggiorno fantastico - La gentilezza del personale e la pulizia giornaliera della struttura. La possibilità di organizzare le escursioni direttamente da loro. La prima colazione potrebbe essere migliorata
• AgusLandaburu (8/5): Estadía muy completa - El desayuno es amplio desde frutas hasta comidas calientes en el acto como bolos, huevos revueltos u otros. La gente del servicio es muy amable y la ubicación es a una cuadra de la playa. Además al ser operadores turísticos resuelven la mayoría de las cuestiones relacionadas con traslados y excursiones. La ducha del baño podría mejorar. Nos costaba regular mucho la temperatura, de muy fria a muy caliente.
• Josephine (10/5): Fantastic hotel on Isabella - Fantastic hotel with the most friendly host! Has everything you need on this beautiful island
• Xue (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hernando (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roxana (10/5): Exceptional - I felt like home here.
• Sam (8/5): Very good -
• Mz (6/5): Too expensive for the quality offered. - Friendly staff. Helped with booking day trips. Free water and tea. No fridge in the room. No fan, only a/c. The common dishes were never really quite clean, e.g. the glasses were always a bit greasy. Free tea and water, but the selection was only moderate. Breakfast was average. The room was rather small, and the bathroom had no ventilation. The shower taps didn't feel perfectly clean and have seen their best of times. Altogether, too expensive for the quality offered. For the same price you get perfectly modern places on the other islands.
• Matthew (10/5): Perfect location with excellent amenities - The location was perfect! A stones throw away from the beach. There are also plenty of restaurant options near by. The staff were very warm and welcoming. Beach towels are available to use (so no need to use your own). The bed was very big and comfortable The room was just a fraction on the small side for 2 people (though it didn’t really matter as we spent all day out and about)
• Jyoti (6/5): Pleasant -
• Bryan (10/5): Exceptional - Went in October 2024. Could pay for both the hotel stay and tours with credit card, without any additional fee. Lovely place with very friendly staff who helped me upon arrival and recommended me tours to go on. Although it was one of the furthest hotels from the port, a short 5 minute taxi ride that costs $1 gets you there.
• Jennifer (8/5): Homely and comfortable, but no running water for 2 nights (and terrible shower when water did work). - I moved to this hotel from Sierra Negra hotel and it was MUCH better - a much more homely feel, in a much better condition, with nice decoration, more areas to relax in, and a great breakfast included. Great location - and opposite a great cafe (Pan Y Vino). There are friendly staff and the hotel also has a travel agency. Unfortunately there was no running water for both nights of my stay - I couldn't flush the toilet, wash my hands, or have a shower after the beach, etc. There may be problems with running water more generally on the island (although I didn't have a problem with water at Sierra Negra hotel). But, as one of thousands of tourists who pay a total of $230 in tourist taxes ($20 TCT + $200 on arrival + $10 in Isabela) to enter the Galapagos Islands (not including all the money invested through paying for accommodation, meals, activities, etc.) it's very frustrating. Some of these taxes need to be used to improve the infrastructure. When the water finally came on, the shower was only a drip - worst shower I'd had in a long time.
• Shy-tyng (8/5): Very good -
• Janice (9/5): Superb -
• Anne (9/5): Beautiful place very close to the beach - The place is super cute just one street away from the beach. Everyone is super nice and helpful. The breakfast was enjoyable and water and coffee available throughout the day. When I am coming back I will definately stay there again! 😀 Nothing
• Tina (8/5): Nice accommodation with breakfast - Easy to reach and walkable from the pier! Room was clean, although being a bit worn off (which wasn’t a negative thing). Included breakfast was okay in buffet style. Friendly instructions from staff on tours on Isabela, as the hotel also includes a tour office (however, definitely worth comparing prices, as they were more expensive compares to other agencies in town) Right in opposite of the accommodation you can find a small cafe with delicious coffee! Super close to the beach as well. Since the title of the accommodation features “high speed internet”, the connection was shaky in the room, however quite functional in the common area. Nothing to complain about, however, one should know when relying on a strong internet connectivity in his or her room.
• Gabriela (1/5): Bad - The hotel was ok Don't book here your tours! SCAM! They charged me more than 75 dollars for the 3 tours I booked with them! I stayed at the hotel with the same name Coral Blanco and made the mistake to book the tours here. I asked the people that joined the same tour and realised that they charged me way to high prices! The tintoreras tour was 60$ instead of the usual 45$ Túneles tour they charged me 130 instead of 110 And minas de azufre tour they charged me 85$ instead of 50!!!! I went to get an explanation and they argue that the price included the pick up from the hotel.. however everyone else got also picked up from the hotel.. I asked for a refund and they told me they cannot do that... Never again!!!
• Eben (9/5): Superb -
• Mazal (7/5): My stay was fine. - The staff was very friendly, my room was made everyday and the location was good. I liked the eating setting on the patio It is pretty quite at night. For the price I expected a bigger room, not much to move around, my bed was only a single bed. The water preasure is low.
• Patrícia (10/5): Great option in puerto villamil - The location was great, really close to everything. Very nice room and very nice hotel. The staff was all very friendly and helpful, always looking to provide us what we needed. Would come back when coming again to isabela Breakfast was buffet, simple but very good. One day they stopped replenishing breakfast before the end of time. we provided that feedback and they corrected for the following day, so we were pleased and they really appreciated the feedback.
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joao (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Laureano (6/5): Pleasant - Nice personnel! Good AC and pleasant shower Wi-Fi does NOT exist, and difficult to get in contact with the personnel outside of reception times
• Amanda (9/5): Superb -
• Josephine (10/5): Nice Little Hotel - My room was very small but perfect for 1 person. The room was very clean. walk across the street you are at a beautiful beach. Street is lined with restaurants and tour agencies. Coral Blanco has a beautiful sitting area. Plenty of filtered water. It isn't a fancy hotel but it's a great place for a few nights. I don't recall the tour guides name who was selling tours at Coral Blanco but he had worked at a as a tour guide in Quito. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Good staff I was on the first floor with my only window facing the street. I was concerned about the possibility of a lot of noise during the night and early mornings but I didn't experience any real issues with noise levels.
• Guillaume (1/5): Would never come back - Close to the beach Way too expensive for what it is. Room too small. Bed too small and unconfortable for a couple. Wi-Fi never really worked. We left before the end of our stay without asking for a refund and when we left we simply asked to get a taxi and they would charge 5$ wich is way overpriced for the island, so it didn't seem very honest.
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacques (8/5): Very good - Coral Blanco has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Remembering that you are on a remote island is important, as facilities are different than on the mainland. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
