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.

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!!

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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!

Hotel room was very nice and clean, However there was no TV service. One night around 1:00 AM somebody was knocking on the each room door. That was a scary. Next morning mentioned it to night duty person. However he said the he did not hear anything, even though the banging on door was very loud..I assumed either he was not there or was fast a sleep.
