The room was spotless, simple but lovely, and excellent location just around the corner to the beach, a short walk to dining and shops, and the flamingo pond practically in your back yard. There’s a wonderful rooftop patio and shared kitchen too! And the shower is excellent. Beto bar just around the corner on the beach is a special place as well. Couldn’t have asked for more, thank you!!

Good value and experience.

Great place to stay for a couple nights. Had a little issue initially finding the location as it was around the corner of the main street, but had no issues once there. Had good service when required, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Would stay again.

Room is spacious but it is the only good thing I can say about this hotel. It’s bare minimum, ac barely works, faucet didn’t give enough water. Owner wanted to charge $10 per day for beach towel per person. No shampoo provided just soap bars. They wanted to charge us half a day for late checkout. She was helpful calling a cab. Pictures poorly depicted actual place. If you need anything office is locked so you need to go across the street to the bar. No food at premises. Poor value. Cheaper places on the water. I would not recommend

I really enjoyed my stay. Owner, Edith, was friendly and helpful. Room clean and everything (e.g. A/C, etc.) worked. The Bar by Beto in a beautiful beach front location. My room overlooked a pond with flamingos! I was pleasantly surprised how quiet the neighborhood was at night. I'd gladly return!

descent hotel close to the beach

The hotel is close to everything. You can walk to the beach, to different restaurants and shops. The room was descent, but I wish their electrical outlets were better. There was no breakfast in the morning though.

Lovely hostal on Isabella Island! I've stayed at 4 hostels in the islands and this one was by far my fav. Many lacked the social aspect, but here the owners have a lovely beach bar across the road where they hosted events (game nights, trivia, etc) which was great to meet other travellers. The rooms were spacious, shower was hot, rooftop area was nice. Only 1 item I disliked - 2 of the windows in my room were just screens at the top and couldn't be closed, so you could hear all the noise from people and cars going by. Still highly recommend!

The lady was nice and accommodating. The property is pay-upon-arrival. So bring cash! Walking from the port to the property is an easy 30min walk. The roads are dirt roads, so walking with heavy luggage isn’t ideal. Just pay a taxi to drive you if you don’t want to walk. The small strip of restaurants and stores are right next to this place.

Good for price

The check-in was confusing. There was no one at the hotel to check me in. The owner told me to go across the street, which was confusing to figure out where the office was. Staff was nice. The room was clean but a little outdated. Good atmosphere. It’s a room to shower and sleep with air conditioning.

This block around town had a sewage problem and the whole area smelled. It was apparently a city problem that stopped the pumping process. The property had a kitchen with fridge for guests to store and prepare food. Cleaning was ok-ish. Good for a couple of nights.

The hotel is very well located and is super charming. Although not directly on the beach, it has great beach vibes. The young woman who runs the hotel is outstanding, she does it all and is very dependable! The only negative would be the (many) roosters around the property, we luckily had earplugs so we slept ok. I would absolutely stay there again if in Isabela!

The owners are kind and hardworking. The property is close to the beach. They run a nice bar which is right on the water. The room was big and clean. A/C works great. Close to many things. Only downside - the roosters. Bring ear plugs and you’ll be fine. Also - the room is very bright. Bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep in

Loved this property. It is on the other side of town from where you arrive on the boat, but it is on the best side of town. Right next to this property is miles of beach and awesome bar. Property has several hammocks located in the bar. For check in I went straight to Beto's Bar (Bar de Beto) and the owner helped me right out.
