10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is conveniently located close to the harbor where many tours disembark, but still close enough to town to be easily walkable. The beach behind the property is gorgeous and somewhat secluded. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and were able to accommodate our super early check-in. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was especially spacious! Water temperature in the shower was nice and warm, but the pressure was a bit low, which can be expected. The balcony with hammock made for a wonderful setting and view each evening. We ate dinner multiple times at the hotel due to convenience, and the food was very good! We had Tapas during Sunset one night, which was a fun experience as well. The breakfast is delicious and filling enough for a day of adventure. Would love to stay here again, highly recommend!

We stayed two nights at Casa de Marita. Location is amazing right on beach, breakfast was great. We ate at the hotel restaurant for dinner one night, and it was great too. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful. We highly recommend this hotel.

We loved the staff! I got injured because I rolled my ankle down the street from the hotel and fell on my leg. It was pretty cut up from the gravel. The staff were very attentive and brought me everything I needed. I was very appreciative of the help. The location was close to the beach. You have your own entrance from the hotel to a beautiful beach. We felt safe and comfortable during our stay. The room was very clean and spacious! The fridge in our room was great! The water pressure was perfect! Loved our stay! We would come back.

Very cute property. Even for a property on Isabella, there were a bit to many ants to deal with. More than I would expect to see even on the islands.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely night stay here. You’re on an island so some ants and bugs can be expected. This isn’t The Four Seasons so if you were looking for that you would be disappointed. What you will find staff willing to go above and beyond like Jonathan, who made our stay lovely. Love that you could just walk to the beach right behind the property. The peace and tranquillity you will find here is unmatched. I think this is the best place to stay on the island. We will definitely be returning.

Misleading pictures of rooms on Expedia were not representative of all rooms. Our initial booking was for a Garden Room which was dated and not to the same standard as the seaview rooms pictured, but a seaview room had not been available to book. However, when we discovered tiny ants swarming the bedding, staff moved us for 2 nights into a seaview room. As the hotel was full we returned to the Garden Room for 3 nights and again had a problem with another swarm of tiny ants and a cockroach. Staff cleaned the room and were able to move us to a seaview room for the remaining 2 nights of our stay. Eve on reception spoke English and was helpful and breakfast staff were friendly and warm. The location was good - close to the town and beach, but also close to a noisy road which disturbed us every morning in the garden room as it was busy daily with the early 5am transfer taxis. The seaview rooms were further away from the road and peaceful with the sound of the ocean, had stunning views and were more modern and tastefully decorated. No rooms had a safe, despite this being a listed feature on the website. There was a safe at reception. We had to pay with a debit card as payment could not be processed on check in using perfectly valid credit cards which had worked in Santa Cruz and Ecuador before and after the trip. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed an excellent meal in a scenic beach setting although it was more expensive than many local restaurants in town.

We checked in here when we discovered the original place we had booked was horrible and we could just not stay there. This hotel was a welcome find! I really wish I could remember the lady at the front desk’s name - she was so friendly and helpful, always smiling!! We also had a wonderful massage as well, it was so relaxing!! Special shout out to Jorge who went above and beyond!! We highly recommend this hotel right downtown San Cristobal.

10/10 Exceptional

A equipe de funcionários, em especial Daniel, da recepção, é excepcional. O quarto era confortável, limpo. O restaurante, para jantar, excelente! Mas o café da manhã era bem fraco para o preço do hotel e deixou muito a desejar: poucas opções de frutas, pães péssimos, só um tipo de suco e de queijo (e muito gorduroso) e praticamente nada para quem tem restrições de lactose e glúten, fora o cabelo na geleia no penúltimo dia.... Podiam também colocar cadeiras e sobrinhas na areia da praia, para o conforto dos hóspedes que querem aproveitar o mar na frente do hotel (acho isso também razoável para um hotel nessa categoria de preço).

Sensacional

Eu poderia morar nesse hotel. O atendimento é maravilhoso, a acomodações muito confortáveis e a comida gostosa. Jonathan foi sempre muito simpático e Jackie um amor! (Desculpem se escrevi o nome errado). Cama confortável e travesseiros muito gostosos. Banheiro amplo e bom chuveiro. O hotel é pé na areia e a praia maravilhosa. Cheio de vida, pelicanos, iguanas, mar lindo. Tudo incrível!

Hospedagem Perfeita em Isabela

Lugar perfeito, bem localizado e muito confortável. Atendimento nota 10 com equipe muito simpática e prestativa, coordenado pela própria dona do empreendimento. Voltaria com certeza a me hospedar nesse lindo e conveniente hotel.
