Hotel Isamar Galapagos Beachfront

Convenient to the sea front

Rooms are a bit dated

Fantastic location, in front of the beach and a quiet place. Feels a bit more private compared to other places we saw. Staff was super helpful and caring, they supported us with anything we needed and allowed us to work on our laptops from the main restaurant, organised taxis. Breakfast is fresh and delicious too. Rooms are very clean, spacious and you have provided bath ropes, beach towels, toiletries, water etc.

Nothing! It was a great place to stay. Thank you for everything you do to allow us to relax.

The location right on the beach was fantastic and our room opened up on to the terrace. Breakfast was good with tea/coffee/water available at all times, and games and bodyboards available to use was a nice touch

One slight negative was that the hotel double booked us for a wedding party - but they informed us early and arranged for us to complete our stay at their sister Albemarle Hotel with an upgrade which was also good and had a lovely pool as well

The location is fantastic! Hotel is right on the beach--just steps away from white sand and being able to put your toes in the water. Additionally, it's an easy walk to either the main drag of the town where there are lots of restaurants, or to the main port, it's centrally located right between the two--easy walk.

MANY geckos/little lizards in my room. At any given point in time I could look up on the walls and ceiling and see several geckos in my room (i.e. seeing at least 6-7 at a time wasn't uncommon.) They would be chirping constantly, especially in evenings, and as a light sleeper even kept me up at night. There were many little holes in the ceiling/walls/windows so these critters (including other bugs) could easily crawl in--it's not like they just came in through an open door. Yes, I understand that I'm in the Galapagos, but ideally I would not have lots and lots of critters in my room. (I like to look at that outside, not in my room.) It prevented me from getting comfortable in the room, and my sleep suffered. Additionally, note that this was in their "best room" with the ocean view. As such, I didn't find the room worth the expense. The room opened up to the main deck area for the hotel (on the same ground level), so in the early morning/late evening I didn't even want to open the curtains to look out at the beach because I didn't want people to look in at me in my pajamas. And then during the day I wasn't in the room. So, it was an expensive "upgrade" that I didn't even really use. Additionally, I didn't like the fact that on the day I checked in they didn't even tell me that there was no water at the property that day. I had to figure that out on my own when the toilet wouldn't flush. As best that I could tell it was not the hotel's fault that they ran out of water, but I still would have expected some notice, etc. The water was turned back on later that day thankfully.
