Guest Reviews

• Thomas (8/5): - Zimmer nur Leintuch,brauche mehr zum zuhüllen
• Holger (5/5): -
• Roberto (10/5): - Clean, large room, close to restaurants and travel agencies
• P.leid (8/5): Nice central location in Puerto Villamil - Once I was in the new room with working air conditioning everything was really nice. The room was spacious. The bathroom was clean with good water temperature and pressure. A good breakfast was delivered to my room every morning. The staff were very helpful. The room was cleaned every day. There was bottled water in the office area to fill you water bottle for the day. The town is pretty small, so nothing is very far. There was a bit of confusion when I first arrived. The air-conditioning wasn't working. After the long ferry ride and walk into town. (I didn't realize how far the ferry landing was from the town center, I was hot and tired. The staff person went to figure out the air-conditioning, so I jumped in the shower fast. 2 minutes later there was a knock on the door. They were moving me to another room.
• Alana (10/5): Beautiful sunrise from the room. Hot water and cold AC!! - The staff was super nice!! Claudia who makes breakfast was the best!!! Great view from the top floor dining area. Yes there was hot water, and the AC worked very well.
• Megan (8/5): Exceeded my expectations. More like a hotel than a hostel - They staff was friendly and helpful. I don’t speak great Spanish and they were patient and made sure I was comfortable. My room was clean, breakfast on the terrace was nice and the amenities (hot water, wifi and AC) were perfect.
• Jessica (8/5): - It was a nice place and the staff was helpful
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Property closed during covid - so we were told the day of our reservation
• Olchik (10/5): - Friendly staff and accommodating. Amazing Hotel for the price you pay. Would definitely stay here again :)
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a great stay and I would recommend this place to anyone. The only worry I had was a very slippery bathroom floor and a bath mat would have helped.
• Josh (8/5): El paraiso for three nights - stayed at El Paraiso for 3N/4D it was in a great location, with a nice breakfast included on the terrace, the room was large and good for bare bones expectations + had a great A/C.
• Amy (6/5): A Good Deal - Worth the price! They let us stay a few extra hours so we really appreciated that. A/C worked well. Free breakfast was nice.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Two night stay - This hotel was perfect. Not sure how you could give it a negative review. Super friendly service by staff. A short walk to the coast and main restaurant area. An awesome price for a hotel compared to the others around! Even packed us breakfast for when we had to leave so early for our ferry out. Thanks for an awesome stay!
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The room was barely passable but adequately clean; very rude, inattentive staff; terrible breakfast -- got food poisoning; obvious discrimination against non-Spanish speakers -- smaller breakfast portions, no replacement of linens/towels/toiletries; continuously running out of drinking water; would never stay there again. Actually, Isabella island is not really worth the money/effort/trouble to visit in the first place -- officials demand USD20 from each pax upon disembarking from cramped, dangerous boats; most of the Galapagos is now geared toward the 1% super-rich -- if you are not one of them and don't want to be abused at every turn, you better stay away and, instead, visit places that still respect budget travelers and backpackers!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel with large rooms in Isabela. Staff was friendly and breakfast is included good. It's really good what you get for the price. They have free drinking water as-well and a store where you get everythibg you need is on the first floor of the hotel.
• Lily (10/5): - Such a nice stay at Paraiso de Isabela! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a mini fridge and a small porch. Very clean, free filtered water available, and good breakfast on a nice third floor porch! Location is great, lots of stuff walking distance and there’s a mini market attached to the hotel which is super convenient. The owners are so kind, they even drove us to the port for a 5:30 AM ferry. My only complaint is it can be a little noisy. Still definitely recommend!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Decent hotel - The hotel had overbooked their rooms which I had previously read in a review that it happened before. Fortunately, they were able to accommodate us anyway but in another hotel for 1 night. It was just up the road, bit annoying but the other hotel was actually pretty nice. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay for the price. Breakfast was actually pretty good. Juice, bread and eggs. The room we were eventually given was spacious but the Aircon didn't really work and it was hot, it was also in a stupid place in the room. Free water though on each floor. WiFi sucked.
• Gurya (8/5): - Check in and check out was quick. They had a AC in the room.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Close to the center, clean, very lovely staff, big rooms, nice restaurants very close, walkable
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The room was very clean but came with no blankets only one sheet on bed and the tv doesn’t work. When we asked about it he said no they don’t work even though they advertise TVs. The price of the room went up during the process of booking it!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The people were so sweet and helpful. My friend and I missed breakfast and so they let us pick some things from the store, free of charge. Also, on the day that we checked out we had to be at the ferry at 530 am and the hotel owner took us there himself, also free of charge and provided us with a breakfast to go. Wonderful facilities, very clean and amazing staff! Also, nice hot showers and purified water! Yay!
• Alyssa (4/5): - Hotel was okay, cable didn't work, the a/c didn't work, the room was a little dirty but not disgusting. Big cracks in doors where heat comes in room. Good location. I recommend.
• Pat (8/5): - Everything, except WiFi, is good: location, service, cleanliness, hot water.
• bart (6/5): - Too expensive for a hotel with no facility at all .. Not much option for dining in surrounding area
• Verified traveler (6/5): - taking minimalist to the extreme. One woman show & she had no understanding of English . included breakfast was a joke
