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.

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.

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.

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!

The property is beautiful - right on the beach, surrounded by fun restaurants, amazing views from the breakfast deck. The women working there were so wonderful, especially Tatiana and the woman making breakfast. Otherwise, I did not feel like it was worth the price. The rooms were smaller than they looked in the photos, and the windows weren't sealed so lots of bugs got in. The bathroom only has a screen, no window, and there was a ton of noise in the area late into the tonight which I didn't expect.

Great view. Clean rooms, nice & helpful staff. The area in front of the hotel needs updating.. add some nicer lawn furniture, lounge chairs, umbrellas. Would have been nice to have lounge chairs and umbrellas actually on the beach. Breakfast needs improving, fruit wasn't ripe and eggs were cold. For the price I would definitely stay here again. They could do some small changes to make it really nice.
