I enjoyed my stay here. Nothing fancy but the rooms are clean, the bed was comfy, and the shower was hot. They serve a tasty continental breakfast and all the staff were very friendly.

Amazing! A block to the beautiful beach! Restaurants right out the door! The most delicious and beautiful breakfast on the islands included! Jose is a wonderful host, the personality here matches the beauty of Isabela. So sweet. We even enjoyed just hanging out on the front porch watching Island life. Walk to food markets, and even a local food court nearby (don’t skip the bakery, Panaderia). We didn’t want to leave Isabela or Jose’s, La Gran Tortuga!

The property managers were one of the best. They are very humble and go out of the way to help you. The gentleman was always available to drop us anywhere we needed to go. On the last day he woke up especialy to drop us to the dock at 5 AM. We booked a 4 bed family room and there was ample space for all of us. It had 4 queen size beds.
