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.

We enjoyed Isabel Island the most of the three Islands we stayed at. Fantastic wildlife. The sunrises and sunsets, long beach walks, Los Tunnels Tour, bike rental, trails, tortoise natural reserve, plenty of shops for fresh fish and produce, plenty of restaurants with delicious food, panaderias with baked goods and early morning coffee. Awesome locals that were very friendly and helpful. Exceeded all our expectations.

We enjoyed traveling beyond Santa Cruz Island for a few nights, just to experience the "vibe" of a different island. The town of Puerto Villamil is relaxed, very friendly and a charming beach town. Most of the area is walkable, though taxis were very cheap (less than $5).

Isabela is a backpacker's destination with very poor infrastructure and low level restaurants. And it's extremely expensive for a European, especially if you come from a non Euro-country given the appreciation of the USD. We struggled to find a decent restaurant and it turned out that the Mexican was the best (full every night). To give you an example of cost, a main course was between USD19-30 which in eg Spain would have been aprox USD8. Price/quality ratio is among the worst we've experienced.
Ecuador, especially the islands, is a cash only-no receipt-economy with the purpose of squeezing the last dollar out of the tourists. We left with few intentions of returning which is a shame given the amazing animals and nature. People are mostly very friendly and helpful which was a nice.

The laid-back beach town vibes here are so much different than Puerto Ayora and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno on the other islands. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and I wish we'd planned this stop toward the end of the trip instead of right at the beginning. Make sure you do a trip to Los Tuneles while you're there - the scenery is fantastic and it was the best snorkeling we had on our week in the islands.

Puerto Villamil is small but welcoming and very beautiful with great opportunities for snorkeling, walking, biking, swimming, kayaking etc. Most restaurants seem to serve "pizza" for tourists, but it's possible to avoid that for more traditional and delicious fare. The local beer is good, the people are friendly and it's well worth the effort to visit. The wildlife is spread around the island, but you can experience an incredible variety in the near vicinity - flamingos, penguins, sea lions, manta rays, sea horses, turtles, tortoises, iguanas, lava lizards, blue-footed/nazca boobies and other incredible sea birds, sharks and colourful fishes, I can't wait to go back :)

Nice place, really relaxing.
Nice place, really relaxing. Not too many good options to go out for dinner and the nice restaurants are quite expensive. But this is the rule in Galapagos.
If you don't have much money, I would not recommend to stay many nights here, because the day trips are hugely expensive and there is not many free options otherwise staying in the central beach.

This is a lovely place to stay Puerto Villamille. it is very comfortable, with plenty of outdoor space to relax in, including a top floor deck. Carlos and Rebekka were more than helpful in so many ways. Breakfast was good. The inn is right across a sand street from a wonderful beach. It’s on the edge of town, and so is quiet. I would have to say that there may be better places to stay, but probably many times more expensive. Value for money, this must be one of the best places to stay on Isabela.
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
Very clean, nice room. I was picked up at the ferry terminal, that was unexpected (apparently included) and made life easy. I prolonged for a third night. I think they use the same linen and towels as in their more expensive "Hotel Laguna", so for a hostal, the materials were of a much higher quality than I had expected. A 3 minute walk down the road leads you to a little café (Panadería Aroma) where a good breakfast can be bought starting at 6.45 (in time before excursions start).
What is not to like? Room and bath sizes are great with powerful AC to keep you cool. The central location, refrigerator in the room, cold drinking water in the kitchen (free of cost), the kitchen, and a clothesline are added bonuses. We were very pleased that the hotel folks turned up the temperature of the hotwater per our request. Above all, Mother Fanny"s smile is always welcoming. We had the best stay at this hotel.
The isabela beach house is probably one of the best places in the island.. all the rooms are really accurate to the pictures, they are super clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful. The owner helped us with info about tours places to eat etc etc.
In front of the hotel is a small beach between rocks perfect to practice a little snorkel or swim.
I'm definilty coming back if I have the chance
We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Volcano. The hotel was very cozy, located in the center of Puerto Villamil. We arrived in the morning before the official check in. David welcomed us with a nice fruity drink and our room was ready within 10 minutes. He was very accommodating and helpful. Isabela is a beautiful island, don't miss it on your way to the Galapagos
it’s very clean, good ocean view. compared to similar hotels in Galapagos, it felt very modern , upgraded, great water pressure and it came with a room secret box. It is close to everything around town. Diana was great and helped us organize all of our day tours so we didn’t have to worry about it. It had great complimentary breakfast.
Incredible location right on the beach. Recent upgrades to the bathroom (new tile), new bed linens in a fresh beachy color. Good size room.
Like most of Ecuador, the hotel does not accept credit cards directly. Instead, they used a PayPal app, and had a much smaller surcharge than most places (6% instead of 12%)
Owner, Carlos, greeted us warmly, giving lots of details about the hotel and location. He also got up at 5am to make sure our taxi to the ferry arrived! He accommodated us with an earlier breakfast time on our first morning as we had tour commitment to make. The property was well maintained inside and out.
You can see from the photos this is right on an excellent beach. The hotel is clean and well run. The shower was great. Wifi was as good as you can get on Isabela. Breakfast was fine and the staff helpful. The ocean view from my room (and balcony) was amazing.
Really nice and friendly owner, had a great stay on Isabela. Welcomed us with tea and coffee and arranged all the tours for us. We even had a free coconut one day. Felt more like a homestay than a hotel:) superfriendly people. Highly recommended.
The owners run the hotel and are very friendly, honest and helpful. The bedroom is big, super clean and the shower is perfect. The location is safe and great. I loved the owners and had a great time in Isabela island.
We were up-graded to Hotel San Vincente. Staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was very good. Good location, short walk to town center, beach area. Quiet neighborhood. Bakery and convenience stores nearby.
Our apartment was new and very comfortable, with a nice kitchen in addition to the bedrooms. Casa Soleil is on a dirt road, one half block away from the paved roads of the small town of Puerto Villamil.
The hotel staff was really helpfu.l They booked all the tours for us and made sure that tour company pick us up at the hotel. The manager even took us to a bike store to rent our bikes.
Nice hotel on isabella with free drinking water. Host was very welcoming. Kitchen can be used by all. Also free washing of your clothes !! You can also book tours in the hotel.
the ac was so loud we couldn’t sleep, it sounded like an old engine, really bad, wouldn’t come back or recommend this hotel prices are expensive for very poor service.
Enjoyed our stay. Location on a quiet part of the beach is excellent. Enjoyed the sunsets and lounging in the hotel hammocks. Shower in the room was great.
Met us at ferry to take us to hotel. Walked with us around the town to show us good places to eat and how to find our way back to hotel. Good breakfast.
