"We loved this hotel on Isabela Island! It was so close to a beautiful beach without paying beachfront prices. The staff members were so friendly, helpful, professional, thoughtful, and available. They recommended a particular tour company, which worked out perfectly. They communicated well about breakfast times and checkout options. The property is a block from the beach, a block from the flamingo lagoon, a few short blocks from the pier, and right by the best restaurants! The room we stayed in was large, comfortable, and stocked with shower needs. The bed was comfortable. There were plenty of outlets. There was a faucet outside for rinsing off after being on the beach. They refreshed our linens and towels every day and provided fresh beach towels each time we went out. They provided drinking water for refilling our water bottles. The continental breakfast is included and delicious, and the cook made us eggs and other hot foods every morning. The vibes here are so relaxed, helpful, and friendly. We highly recommend this hotel for individuals, couples, and families! It was a wonderful stay. We also recommend the Los Tuneles tour while you are here!"
