Loud and uncomfortable
Around the clock noise, our room was on the 2nd floor directly below the food prep and serving area so starting st 6am it was constant noise. People and dog noise until 1-2am. Staff friendly. This is more of a hostel with a bathroom (beware no window/glass just a mesh), running water was a hit or miss. Bugs and ants everywhere. We stayed here 3 nights.

Awesome hotel
Great experience. The location is fantastic and the staff was excellent. Staff was attentive, even going the extra mile to pack us a breakfast to go and offering to help arrange a taxi for our early ferry. Breakfast every day was amazing: made to order with an incredible view.

Amazing! The staff is very friendly and warm, the gave us an upgrade and leave some chocolates for my mom on her birthday. Breakfast was good, the day we left since it was very early in the morning they gave a box lunch. Truly super kind. Beds were comfy, the view amazing. Great location

This property is located right on the beach. Breathtaking views of pelicans fishing, waves crashing and the sounds of the ocean. This is your destination stay on Isabela. Super staff, an excellent morning breakfast and very helpful with tour pickup coordination. Within walking distance of Flamingos and a large iguana crossing. The town square is just down the street. Book it now!

While Hotel offers prime beachfront views, benefits stops there. Rooms on ground floor would have face risks of noise from guests on upper floors, along with uninitiated visits from insects. A crockroach crawled into the room during the night of my stay rendering some anxiousness as there is no hotel staff at night. The lack of proper ventilation in the room especially bathroom/toilet area meant constant humidity and towels once used do not dry easily even if left overnight. Overall amenities provided in rooms are basic (even though shower gel, shampoo, handwash and conditioner are provided) so best to bring your own. No room slippers nor facial tissues. Hot water is available only on 3rd floor which is cumbersome during the night. Breakfast alittle too basic though box breakfast available on request if one has early start.

Das Personal war sehr bemüht und nett. Die Ausstattung war schlicht. Die Auswahl beim
Frühstück war dürftig, man ist aber satt geworden wenn man sich mit wenig Auswahl zufrieden gegeben hat.
