Guest Reviews
- Ewa (10/5): - Kameralny obiekt praktycznie na plaży. Bardzo czysto. Miły personel. Miejsce zaciszne, blisko do wszystkich atrakcji.
Przez cały dzień dostęp do wody pitnej, kawy I herbaty. Bardzo przestronne pokoje
Od 17.00 otwarty bar. Można też zamówić kolację.
Bardzo polecam hotel Isamar W naszym pokoju klimatyzacja była głośna co bylo raczej niekomfortowe nocą.
W pokoju byl problem z internetem. Pokoje bliżej recepcji pewnie nie miały tego problemu.
W części wypoczynkowej dzialal bardzo dobrze.
- Julie-Ann (9/5): Excellent beach front hotel - The location right on the beach was fantastic and our room opened up on to the terrace. Breakfast was good with tea/coffee/water available at all times, and games and bodyboards available to use was a nice touch One slight negative was that the hotel double booked us for a wedding party - but they informed us early and arranged for us to complete our stay at their sister Albemarle Hotel with an upgrade which was also good and had a lovely pool as well
- David (9/5): -
- Diane (8/5): - Beautiful location No hot water two nights (or any water for several hours one night) and restaurant and bar services are not consistent. Depends on their staffing. Kind of a pain to have to go somewhere else to get food or a proper cocktail at this price.
- Sergio L (10/5): -
- adrian (8/5): - Lokalizacja super śniadanie w bardzo dobrej restauracji niedaleko na 3 noce ok
- Darienny (8/5): -
- Isabel (10/5): - Ubicación muy buena
Personal encantador, muy atento
- Benzing (1/5): When we arrived they didn’t have a room despite our booking. After a while they offered us a pretty bad room in a sister -
- Brianna (10/5): Would stay here every time! - Beach front room with amazingly warm staff. Wonderful hotel!
- alejandro (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y el personal super amable
- Samuel (9/5): Very nice and staff were excellent - On the beach a bit secluded Bar was closed, no afternoon snack. I wish they would served smoothies and appetizer at the hotel directly.
- Daniela (9/5): -
- Karoline Fogh (9/5): Fantastisk sted ned mod stranden - Personalet var meget imødekommende og gode til at hjælpe ved behov
- Lina Maria (10/5): - Fueron súper amables, todo el staff es muy atento. El hotel está muy bien ubicado y es muy cómodo. Estar frente a la playa en una isla cómo Isabela fue muy lindo.
- Camila (8/5): Ubicación ideal para descansar - La ubicación inmejorable a la orilla de playa, la comida muy buena, el recibimiento y la cordialidad de shirley. El baño a veces emanaba mal olor. Hubo un día en que no hubo reposición de papel higiénico y tuvimos que solicitarlo reiteradas veces. Al conversarlo con la encargada nos dio las disculpas pertinentes. El bar no funcionaba todos los días.
- Emily (9/5): Nice staff and an amazing location - Very friendly staff. The location is also really great and the rooms were squeaky clean.
Due to the early check out they offer a separate shower with towels for anyone wishing to shower after a tour that ends after check out. The breakfast was quite disappointing to be honest. Also we felt quite rushed during breakfast when there was still 30 minutes left.
Very early check out which we didn’t realise beforehand (so I guess that’s on us)
- Annie (9/5): The location was great, were able to walk to most. Our friends stay next door and they were able to join us for happy ho - The location and breakfast The bathroom can be updated
- Markus (9/5): Exelent rooms and location. Poor breakfast. - big room. very comfortable. Breakfast was a catastrophe.
- David (8/5): - Nice beachfront hotel, feels like a private beach and the town in nice walking distance, some staff are super friendly and welcoming. Room is basic but clean and big with AC It is one of the most expensive hotels on the island, but value for money is not the best. Hotel rooms are rather basic and a bit old, and the bar/restaurant were only open once during our 4 day stay. There seem to be many employees but it doesn't really feel that more than two of them really go the extra mile e.g. checkout at 9am, although so much food leftover no possibility to have breakfast 10min longer. Also, I would recommend to book tours in town directly with service providers.
- Matthias (10/5): - The location right at the beach is great.
We had a little issue with ants in our rooms after heavy rainfalls, and the staff reacted immediately and offered an additional room for one night while our room was been cleaned - very high level customer orientation!
- Thomas (10/5): Fantastic location right on the beachfront, relaxed feel, friendly and helpful staff. - Beautifully located beachfront hotel. Nice, relaxed feel and friendly, helpful staff. The rooms are a little tired and could benefit from a few upgrades.
- Carolina (10/5): - Excelente ubicación y el personal es muy atento y amable.
Frente al mar y muy tranquilo. Pica señal de WiFi y sin señal en la televisión. Durante toda la estancia..
- Doris (8/5): Zu empfehlen - Fantastische Lage direkt am Traumstrand. Nettes Personal. Immer Kaffee, Tee und Wasser verfügbar. Hartes Bett. Sehr früher CheckOut. Shuttle Kosten zur Fähre höher als sonst üblich.
- Joséphine (9/5): -
- Howard (8/5): -
- Amy (10/5): -
- ScubaRich (8/5): Pretty good and one of the better options here - A nice little hotel comprising chalet style rooms right next to the beach. Hotel is an open site with reception and their small restaurant in one building and accomodation blocks in pairs forming rows from the beach. Sun loungers, tables and chairs are on the decking to the front.
Location - great beach front location, away from the town centre but within easy walking.
Rooms - comfy beds, lots of pillows to choose from and decent AC. Very quiet and hot water. Decent amount of space.
Restaurant - open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However do check as on one day they decided to not open for dinner due to staffing reasons. There are alternatives close by. Food was pretty good and enjoyed eating there. Breakfast was varied so you were never sure what you would get each day.
Staff - all pleasant and spoke English.
Would happily stay here again. Checkout time - at the hotel is 9am despite booking.com saying 10am. Please be aware of this as despite pointing this out and having it agreed we were pressured to leave just after 9am - not the best note to leave on.
Internet - if you are on the front row then internet is fine, on the back rows they sadly use repeaters rather than a mesh wifi. It was unusable most of the time in our room.
- Beth (10/5): Amazing! - Wonderful location, and Samy was very helpful with planning some amazing excursions for our family.
- Niko (9/5): - Lage ist top, das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wir sind morgens abgereist und das Team hat uns sogar noch Snacks (als Ersatz zum Frühstück) eingepackt. Würden wieder kommen!
- Karina (10/5): - La ubicación, la tranquilidad, todo estaba limpio , buen atención y los cócteles deliciosos
- Kristine (9/5): - Idéalement situé SUR la plage, propre et avec un personnel aux petits soins, cet hôtel offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix par rapport aux autres établissements d’Isabela. Le petit-déjeuner est particulièrement bien. C’est dommage que le personnel du bar soit constamment absent de son poste.
- claudia (9/5): Es un lugar para descansar , desconectarse y disfrutar de la inmensidad de su playa - Se debe escoger la habitación al frente de la playa , un paraíso, limpio , la comida deliciosa y la atención del personal Solo mejoraría tener piscina
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Camille (9/5): Superbe ! - La localisation est exceptionnelle, au bord de la plage.
Le lieu est très charmant et familial.
Nous avons reçu un très bon accueil et espérons revenir y séjourner en famille.
Petit plus : les jeux de société à disposition, ainsi que le café et les fruits toute la journée. Voyageant avec deux bébés, on avait réservé 2 lits bébés. Finalement seulement un était disponible. On a donc du voyager avec notre propre lit. Les différentes chambres nous ont semblé être de la même qualité même si les tarifs diffèrent.
- Juan Francisco Powditch (10/5): -
- Rocio (10/5): parfait - J'ai tout aimée. Le personnel est vraiment aimable et acuillant. Les diners sont delicieux, le leiu est d'une calme exceptionelle, les lits sont les plus confortables que j'ai jamais dormi.. merveilleux. le bruit de la clim des autres chambres, et les moustiques nous ont embeté parfois la nuit, mais le lieu est tellement beau que ce n'est pas grave.
- VM (8/5): - Emplacement, bonne literie, juste face à la mer, personnel très sympathique Peut être mettre un rideau ou un volet sur la petite fenêtre pour ne pas avoir la lumière toute la soirée.
- Yael (10/5): -
- Andreas (8/5): -
- Roberto (8/5): -
- VICTORIA (10/5): -
- Gaby (9/5): Everything we hoped for. - A true beachfront property, we got a room with sea view and I loved that, easy walk to everywhere, staff were super accommodating and kind. My husband was not feeling well due to a 2:15-hour choppy boat ride from Santa Cruz Island and they checked us in early and allow us in the room super early.
- Maite (6/5): - Ubicación precio Camas duras y almohadas duras
- Robyn (10/5): Fabulous beach property with great staff - Great location, lovely staff
- Valdivieso (10/5): Me encantó! Quiero volver! - Comodo, muy completo, la vista increible, volveré! Podria mejorar temas de tiempos de cocina, pero no fue grave.
- deborah (7/5): Great Beach Hotel - The Hotel is on the beach and is the perfect location for exploring Isabella and walking in to town for dinner or a drink. Staff are very helpful if you are looking to book any trips - the kayaking was great fun
- Alessandro (8/5): -
- Adriana Karina (9/5): - Me gustó la amabilidad del personal. Hotel bien ubicado. Tuvimos un problema con el agua caliente pero lo solucionaron muy pronto.
- Sylvia (10/5): Ein sehr erholsamer und schöner Aufenthalt direkt am Strand - Wir haben um 3 Nächte verlängert, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat. Alles war sehr angenehm und schön, das Frühstück prima, die Dusche war und mit einem guten Druck, Personal super zuvorkommend und nett. Dabei war alles unkompliziert und so wie wir es gerne haben. Das einzige, was wir hier anmerken können, ist dass das Ei/Rührei leider nicht dauerhaft warm gehalten wurde.
- Jill (9/5): Lovely place to stay. - Great position right on the beach. Very friendly helpful staff. Spacious rooms big towels.
- Theresa (9/5): -
- Sylvia (9/5): Sehr entspannter Aufenthalt direkt am Meer - Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt: das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich, der Kaffee super, auch im Restaurant das Essen hat uns gefallen, das die meisten vom Personal sprechen Englisch und alle sind sehr freundlich. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick, was sehr zu empfehlen ist. Der Preis ist schon recht hoch, aber so ist es halt hier auf den Inseln, das muss man akzeptieren. In der Nähe sind Restaurants und Touranbieter sowie Fahrradverleih. Wir waren mal bei schlechtem Wetter im Zimmer und haben zufällig gesehen wie das Bad geputzt wurde. Zuerst das WC und danach das Waschbecken ist nicht die richtige Reihenfolge, aber mit unterschiedlichen Lappen ok. Es war immer alles sauber und es ist sicher besser, nicht zu wissen wie in Hotels und Restaurants geputzt wird. Deutsche Ansprüche sind da nicht der Maßstab.
- Steven (9/5): - Very nice place right on the beach.
- Safak (9/5): Great place to stay - Very friendly staf, good location good view
Clean
Good breakfast
- Stephanie (10/5): Ubicación y vista espectaculares! - La ubicación del hotel es excepcional, cerca de todo con acceso a pocos metros de la playa, vista espectacular! El servicio complementario de café durante la estadía y la bebida de cortesía un plus! El desayuno muy variado y delicioso!
- MG (8/5): Muy bien! - Habitaciones super, ducha también! Está en la playa y la vista es espectacular. Posición perfecta entre el puerto y la zona de bares/restaurantes.
- Ewa (10/5): - A charming beachfront hotel with a peaceful atmosphere and very helpful staff—we felt truly welcomed and loved every moment of our stay.
- ERIKO (8/5): -
- Juan Sebastián (10/5): Hermoso hotel con vista al mar y personal muy atento - Hermoso hotel con vista al mar y personal muy atento
- Vikpz (10/5): - Nos gustó todo. La ubicación cerca del puerto, del centro y frente al mar. El buen trato del personal, el desayuno, el confort de las habitaciones, la calidad de las camas, toallas, el espacio frente a la playa con reposeras y ducha. Lo recomendamos mucho. Nada que no nos haya gustado.
- Robert (7/5): Good - Lovely staff and a great location on the beach. Rooms were great and clean. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious. The cocktails were good. We only managed to get hot water one evening. We stayed for 3 nights and had cold showers every morning and two of the three evenings.
Breakfast was disappointing and not included in the room rate. We found that buying breakfast elsewhere was a better option.
Wifi connection was often poor.
- Konstantin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Antonia (10/5): Perfect. - Right in front of the beach. And everything was very clean. They had a truly wonderful and filling breakfast perfect for a day full of activities.
- Andrea (5/5): Great location, but only book if you are comfortable with MANY geckos/lizards in your room - The location is fantastic! Hotel is right on the beach--just steps away from white sand and being able to put your toes in the water. Additionally, it's an easy walk to either the main drag of the town where there are lots of restaurants, or to the main port, it's centrally located right between the two--easy walk. MANY geckos/little lizards in my room. At any given point in time I could look up on the walls and ceiling and see several geckos in my room (i.e. seeing at least 6-7 at a time wasn't uncommon.) They would be chirping constantly, especially in evenings, and as a light sleeper even kept me up at night. There were many little holes in the ceiling/walls/windows so these critters (including other bugs) could easily crawl in--it's not like they just came in through an open door. Yes, I understand that I'm in the Galapagos, but ideally I would not have lots and lots of critters in my room. (I like to look at that outside, not in my room.) It prevented me from getting comfortable in the room, and my sleep suffered. Additionally, note that this was in their "best room" with the ocean view. As such, I didn't find the room worth the expense. The room opened up to the main deck area for the hotel (on the same ground level), so in the early morning/late evening I didn't even want to open the curtains to look out at the beach because I didn't want people to look in at me in my pajamas. And then during the day I wasn't in the room. So, it was an expensive "upgrade" that I didn't even really use.
Additionally, I didn't like the fact that on the day I checked in they didn't even tell me that there was no water at the property that day. I had to figure that out on my own when the toilet wouldn't flush. As best that I could tell it was not the hotel's fault that they ran out of water, but I still would have expected some notice, etc. The water was turned back on later that day thankfully.
- Benji (3/5): Not value for the money - The location of the hotel is nice. The TV is good so you can relax during the night. There is a beach in front of you in case if you want to take a sun bath or swimming. The room size is actually good, I did like the design of the room. The staff was kind and helpful. The interior ( furniture ) is old and dated back from the 1960'ies. This is very unappealing and unattractive. The WiFi is the worst, it is not even working from my room, even that my room is just next to the reception, so when I go to the reception, then the WiFi works. The price for this room is extremely overrated, this is not value for the money. I wish that hotel was a bit more service minded. The breakfast was terrible, it is too basic and didn't taste good at all. After I checked out from the hotel ( 5 hours later ), they contacted me and asked me if I accidentally took the key with me, this alone indicate that the hotel is disorganized and messy. I personally would not recommend this hotel, they can do it better and to make it more comfortable to respect their guest. It is clear that the room has not been upgraded. They have a fancy table lamp that is annoying to use, it has a QI charger that doesn't even work. Most hotels has USB charging station, which this hotel does not have.
- Luis (10/5): Amazing place - Everything was good, very good location, in front of a beach where we could rest. The room was perfect and clean.
- Alexandra (9/5): Superb - Beautiful property, very clean. It is close to the deck where boats arrive/depart. Stuff was super friendly and welcoming, we had a very early boat in the morning so we couldn’t attend breakfast so stuff provided us with some snacks and drinks the night before, which was very kind and attentive.
- Leichvich (10/5): Wonderful stay - The sound of waves on the beach, peaceful vibes, decor, great food, wonderful staff. They helped me get a ferry ticket for the date which was sold out on the website. Everything was wonderful
- Maria (10/5): A true gem! - We had the best time at Isamar Hotel. It is only a ten minute walk from the ferry. Situated on a public but quiet beach, with large rooms. Each room bungaglow-style, with huge comfy beds, enough space and windows (at least from our room) allowing you to look directly at the sea.
The staff were extraordinary, super helpful, booking trips and ferries for you, giving great recommendations for trips and to dos on the island. We can highly recommend staying at Isamar. It is hands down one of - if not the one - most beautiful hotel on Isabella. The A/Cs of the other rooms are positioned directly on front of the room situated behind it, which is pretty loud at night. Even the sea can't compete.
- Abir (10/5): Exceptional - The service, location and facilities are excellent. The staff went out of their way to take care of all our needs
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Right on a Phenomenal Beach. I could hear the waves from my room. This is one of the best beaches in the world; I have been on Grace Beach in Turks, all over Hawaii, etc. It is beautiful and completely undeveloped. So peaceful and safe. Breakfast was generous, staff was phenomenal. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was great.
- Gabriela (9/5): I enjoyed staying in here - Location close to the peer and on the beach. Great staff, especially manager (lady, do not know her name) was very helpful. Food in the restaurant was very nice and for reasonable money, recommended also by locals. Rooms were nice and comfortable. I think that price is a bit higher than it should be. Pictures on Booking do not fit with reality. I was negatively surprised after my arrival by the outside looking, expected it nicer. But it was ok in the end and I was satisfied and would recommend this hotel.
- Jill (10/5): One of our favorite places we stayed over 11 nights in the Galapagos - Truly a hidden gem, the location on the beach is fabulous. Juan and staff offer unparalleled service. We had a room facing the ocean and I was concerned about noise from other guests and those dining from other part of Isabela sitting outside our room but by 9pm we had it once again all to ourselves, so that was not a problem at all. I enjoyed the bar area and seating areas outside our room all the while we were there. It was hard to leave and explore other parts of town for dining because it was so beautiful so we enjoyed the restaurant both nights. It was a wonderful way to end an 11 day Galapagos trip of a lifetime. Nothing I can think of.
- Judy (10/5): Super comfortable and relaxing. - High quality bed linens, air conditioning, good tv access.
- Natalia (10/5): Little paradise on the Island! - I loved my stay at this hotel! I didn’t expect this level of service and comfort on Isabella island at all!
Stuff was very nice and friendly , super attentive and almost everyone called me by my name during my stay!
I had sea view room (which was very spacious) and luxury to sleep every night with sound of ocean!
Location of hotel is perfect for travelers like me who is looking for peace and quiet, but still couple minutes walk from all restaurants and bars. And it’s right at the beach so you can walk barefoot from your room for sunrise / sunset
Hotel was so great that one day I decided to stay in the property and do nothing enjoying the atmosphere instead of going to a tour!
Loved it!!! Highly recommend!
- Ertan (9/5): Superb - Close and kind attention of the staff
- Gisela (10/5): Wonderful place and setting to spend with family and friends. - The beach location is excellent. Very walkable beach and calm waters. Palm trees on the beach and lookout points.
- Pascal (4/5): Overpriced !! - The location near the center, and near the beach. No beach chairs. Only at the property, but not on the beach.
Area/tour info given by the manager was not up to date. (Roads were closed. I hot correct info from a hostel guest though)
They offer happy hour, but hard to find the bartender to get your 2nd drink.
The owner was pushing to much to eat in the hotel. (“Be careful with eating food, not good for your stomach, very risky”) - So decided to not eat in the hotel at all.
They charged me 20$ for the port pickup (700m). They said the reason was they had to wait for the boat.
- Well I had a similar pickup in San Cristobal. And the hotel was at 2-3 km. But I only paid 2$.
Breakfast was very basic
- Simon (9/5): Nice property to relax and enjoy the beach - Beach front property and the bar/restaurant is reasonably priced & good quality Only 2 of 10 rooms are „front row“ and direct access to the terrace/beach
- Alejandro (1/5): Bad -
- Nina (10/5): Excellent overall stay - Location, clean nice rooms, great staff, excellent breakfast, english spoken. Everything was great. Rooms in the back provide more privacy, rooms ocean front less, as they are on the terrace.
- Liudas (10/5): Probably the best selection on Isabela - Location, ambirnce, restaurant, staff. We spent 4 nights and had eaten only at their place with the deck and ocean view. Very efficient AC, flexible attitude as we were allowed to check in at 9AM. Will return. Laimdry service is drastically overpriced. We paid $27 for a small bag. Similar ammount costs $3 in Santa Cruz (not at hotel though but pro laundry). Minor detail anyway.
- Miguel (1/5): Bad - Isamar hotel did not fullfill their booking contract. Owner changed the Isamar Hotel for the Albemarle Hotel. Can he do that? The was no place por my wife and me at the hotel we completely prepaid. Isamar is a quiet hotel located on the Isabela Puerto Villamil beach. Albemerle Hotel is a front beach hotel sorrounded by bars, restaurants and sport field. Vey noisy.
- Gianluigi (9/5): Superb - Everything was amazing. The location, just in front of the sea and the facilities were great. And the staff, all were nice and always available and helpful. In our case, they all gave us tips on things to do in the island. Defenitely recommended.
- Robin (10/5): Our stay was very relaxing and we would love to return. - The location right on the beach and close to town was ideal. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel restaurant offered excellent food at good value. When we ran into a medical problem the manager and staff helped us out enormously. Nothing. No complaints.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Good place for a night or two on Isabela. - Comfortable hotel right on the beach with a friendly but assertive owner. We could see penguins and sea lions from the beach and great for swimming with littler kids. The rooms were spacious and the air conditioning worked well. Great bar selection was well. Good deal. The hotel has an odd layout and most rooms do not have a view.
- Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yuan (8/5): Relaxing! - Convenient location, 5mins walk to the center of the town, 10-15mins walk to the ferry pier/ Concha de Perla, travel agent right outside the hotel with good price. Rooms are clean. Breakfast is below average for the price and the level of service they provided. Limit option for protein and fruit.
Avoid the last room in the last row if you prefer to have some sunset and plan to have tons of water activities that need to line dry the cloths
- Robins (10/5): So relaxing - Great access to the beach, lovely breakfast options and great staff
- Alexandre (10/5): We will be back, best location ever!! - Everything, mainly the staff, all people are so kind and friendly, like the manager lady that have welcomed us , the barman Daniel and all !
Great room, breakfast, in front of the beach, WiFi, bed linen, towels, everything, water and tea facilities for free.
Walking distance to Concha de Perla and pier beach.
Very good food at the dinner at fairly priced, much better than the city. Not have staying longer ( we have to come back to Isabela and come back to Isamar!!)
- Richard (8/5): Beautiful beach front location - Location location location. Right on the beach, clean and comfortable. Perhaps a tad expensive
- Mark (10/5): Great value for money in an excellent location - The location is perfect, right on the beach, the rooms are of a high quality and the price is good for what you get. Breakfast was also good and tasty. The dinner we had could have been better
- Donald (8/5): Very good - great beach, lots of privacy, very quiet Breakfast buffet closed early
- Lisa (9/5): Great location, Great staff! - We really loved our stay in Isabela, and Isamar was a big part of it. Isabela in general is not a “luxury” type of island..is about laid back relaxation and nature and Isamar provides just that. It’s positioned right on the beach and walkable to anywhere in town (which is really small and mostly dirt roads). Also walkable to the pier and the local snorkel spot. The staff is great- very friendly! Not a dislike- just feedback from someone with dietary restrictions. Breakfast was a bit tough as a vegan. The kitchen made me special vegetables each morning, but with the activity required in Isabela, some sort of protein (like any type of beans) would have been very helpful. This applies to a small number of people, but if you are vegan bring nuts or peanut butter or something to eat with your fruit and veggies at breakfast.
- Bilukha (7/5): Good -
- Christian (8/5): Beach front - Perfect beach location. Good athmosphere of the whole place. Staff (receptionists excluded!) could be much more friendly.
- Jem (9/5): Superb -
- Angélica (10/5): Perfect place to relax and enjoy close ro the nature - Everything is perfectly placed for one to feel right on the beach. Comfortable and well decorated I loved everything about the property
- Caitlin (10/5): Exceptional -
