Great beach front hotel!

We visited Isabella island and stayed here for one night. The looks of this hotel from the outside are deceiving. It a very nice, bright, clean hotel that is steps away from the beach! You can hear the ocean waves at night. Love this place!

Oceanfront hotel on beautiful Isabela

I splurged on a beachfront room and was not disappointed! It was so wonderful falling asleep to the sound of waves, and seemed a bargain at under $100. No tv (no problem), the a/c and hot water worked well. I also had a small balcony. Breakfast was included, and served at a little cafe one block inland. Eggs, fruit, bread, juice, coffee. Several restaurants on the beach in either direction. Filtered water dispenser by front desk had both hot&cold, with instant coffee and an assortment of teas. Hotel arranged for a taxi to take me to the ferry very early in the morning. Thank you to the kind gentleman clerk who carried my suitcase up the stairs at check-in.

The room was a good size and the view out to the ocean could not be beat. One complaint might be that there was a lack of places to hang wet towels or clothing. Another was the frosted window that let light into the room at night from the stairwell. It served no purpose other than to keep the room bright. With that being said, the gentleman who ran the hotel was exceptional. Always helping us out, very accommodating and always with a happy disposition. The included breakfast was at a nearby restaurant and very tasty. The location could not be beat.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Sierra Negra on Isabela Island for 3 nights. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and could hear the waves from the room. It is a 20 minute walk from the ferry terminal and close to restaurants, tour companies and shopping. We LOVED being directly on the beach and having an ocean view that included breakfast. It was well worth the price. There was always someone on-site to help and answer questions. The shower water pressure room 8 was a bit low but the room was clean and bed comfy. The breakfast was great with coffee, juice, fruit, eggs and toast. We would stay there again.

Right on the water. Next o restaurants. Crack the slider and listen to the ocean waves come in. $3 cab ride from the ferry. Ocean facing worth the upgrade. We arrived late, owner met us at the main entrance. Free coffee! We will stay here again!

We stayed one night here and wish we stayed longer. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and there were nice restaurants on the beach close by. There were two people that seemed to be running it - the younger girl was lovely and accommodating. The older gentleman was friendly at first but rude at the end so we left with a bit of a weird feeling but overall it was a good stay.

Great place

Location is great, on the beach, the staff are wonderful and very helpful. There is free water, tea and coffee in reception. The front seaview rooms are much better than the back rooms. As the noise from the back can get very loud and disturbing. The big sliding doors at the front give you a great view and a little balcony to dry all your wet swimming gear, which is essential here. Breakfast is provided through a third party and it's ok. Would really recommend this great place but pay the extra for the front rooms.

This property should not be part of Expedia hotel selection! This property was horrible!! The property did not have electrify for over 4 hours but everywhere else had electricity which affected the water system. After 4 hours, we notified them a staff switched the electric panel on and off and finally we had power. No Tv, no running cold water at the washroom sink only the “hot” faucet worked but only gave cold water 😂 Everything was below 1 standards. We stayed at numerous hotels in Ecuador and Galapagos and this was the worst experience. We definitely Do Not recommended.

The hotel is right on the beach. The staff is friendly for the most part but became difficult when we asked for new towels because ours were still damp by the time we came back to our room late in the afternoon (humidity is super high). The rooms are poorly maintained , the beds are hard, and the sheets and towels are stained. The place is very conveniently located near restaurants and travel agencies.

This property is in a wonderful location… right on the sand overlooking the secluded bay. Gorgeous! As for the property. It’s an average 2-star hotel in a remote part of the world. We had hard, but clean beds, the A/C and electricity worked. We had no hot water, no television, no assistance with excursions, and no breakfast. The dining nearby is not good. It was loud very early with families with young children rising at 5am. Very utilitarian

Nice place to stay. Close to the business area and just a couple of minutes of walking to a flamingo lagoon. Staffs are friendly and helpful. We booked an ocean view unit. The view through the windows is fantastic. The hotel is just next to a beach. Highly recommended.
