Glamping in Isabela Island

"This is my first time staying in a hostel versus a traditional hotel. The only thing that surprised me was that there were no shampoo, conditioner or hairdryer, but that might be normal for hostels and now that I know I can be prepared next time. The view was amazing from our room that looked over the ocean. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The owner Abel was very friendly. One thing that was extremely helpful for me is that we were able to keep our luggage there until our taxi arrived since we were taking the afternoon ferry. This allowed my family to enjoy the day on Isabela. One other thing that he does that was really amazing was that he always has a free room so if you do need to come back after you check out, to use the restroom or whatnot, he has a place for guests to use. There is also water for refills. It's very walkable to restaurants off the beach where the food is excellent, as well as to the flamingos and Concha Perla. It's also very easy for any tour companies to come pick you up."

"Beach view!"

"Amazing location, very friendly staff, very good breakfast and close to everything"

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and would return."

"Friendly staff. Breakfast was included and absolutely delicious. Room was comfortable and large. Bathroom was sufficient, however, the shampoo and bodywash came in little packets which were impractical for those with lots of hair. Luckily we brought our own stuff. I had them wash my laundry (7$) it was washed, dried, and folded. Host drove us to the ferry on our last day for 2$/person at 5am which was very helpful."

"Great location by lagoon and close to the beach. Helpful staff and spacious rooms"

"Wonderful two week stay at the Drake Inn while volunteering on the island. It is right across the street from a beautiful, quiet, and pristine section of the beach and steps away from the entrance to the trail to the Wall of Tears, and close to a variety of places to eat, shop, and hang (Pink Iguana bar!). Our rooms (the superior twin and double) were clean and nice with comfortable beds, fridges, and places to store our clothes. The hot water situation was decent (better than most places), the breakfast was simple but good, and the roof deck was hardly used by anyone else and was lovely (amazing views and a sun-heated jacuzzi). My one note is we could never figure out how to turn the AC off of auto and it would go on and off a lot in the early hours of the morning, which woke us up. Ear plugs helped."

"Great location right on the beach and just a 10 minute walk to the pier."

"Perfect beach view and we could watch the iguanas crossing from our balcony. Amazing pool and best food, no need to go to ajy restaurant. Wonderfully friendly and attentive staff"
