The couple that own this guest house are the kindest, friendliest, cheerful people you will meet. They picked us up from the boat as a lovely surprise and Jackson couldn’t have been nicer with his guided tour when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was big and clean with hot water. Breakfast was big and delicious. It’s at the north end of town which we loved. Close to a cheap bakery and cheap $6 restaurants. There is a water refill too. There is also a kitchen you can use. Thank you Jackson and Lupa for you exceptional hospitality on this beautiful island.

There was only a sheet on the bed so I got a bit cold at night (in July). It is 900 metres away from the beach and main restaurant area in a residential part of town. So a bit further out but it's an easy walk.

We booked last minute and turned up late at night and they came and opened a room up for us. The room was simple and reasonably clean. The owners were friendly.

Jackson was an amazing host! Really went out his way to make our stay lovely. Would recommend.

You have to pay with cash at the hotel

Jackson and her wife made me feel like home, they are very kind, friendly and they were always willing to help us. Good breakfast everyday, they rent bikes for good price and also can offer tours. Walking distance to center was 10 min. I enjoyed my staying with them.

Jackson is absolutely the best host. He helped us sort out the best tours on Isabela and even walked us around the town to show us great places to eat and shop.

The shared kitchen could be cleaner and more equipped. The pillows were a bit firm for my wife, for me they were ok.

Amalia and Jackson are the best! They pick you up at the dock, something we didn´t expect and was very welcome. They give a quick tour in the centre to show you some good places. They offer great tours via their connections and they took really good care of us when we were pretty sick for a few days (checking in on us, providing medicine, food,...). We missed the volcano tour because we were sick but Jackson managed to reschedule eventhough we lost are money at first. Their breakfast is definitely a recommendation, very delicious and plenty (and we can eat a lot) There's purified water all the time. There's a lot of space to dry your wetsuits etc after snorkeling or diving. What more do you want! (And for those who find it important, their Wifi is really good). I don't easily have good nights when I travel but here we slept very well. I'm used to soft beds back home. The beds here are not as firm as always and there were plenty of pillows so it compensates the firmer beds compared to home. Last but not least, we had an amazing day at their farm when we went there with Amalia to work with her.

Location is 10 min walk from restaurants, and beach

Jackson is very kind and helpful, met us at the ferry when we arrived and sent us to the ferry when we left. Organized all activities and provided snorkels free of charge.

The host was amazing and very accommodating! Had a wonderful breakfast every day about 15 min walk from the pier, they provided water as well!

Wifi should work better. Low pressure in shower and bathroom could be cleaner.

We spent lovely week here with my wife. When we arrived Jackson was welcoming us with the sign in the port. Jackson and other people made us feel very comfortable. Jackson arranged trips (Isla Tortuga and Los Tuneles) for us with cheaper price than you can get by walking around and negotiating it by yourself. Breakfast was good and last morning they even prepared it for us at 4:30 am because we had early ferry to Santa Cruz. We caught tuna at Isla Tortuga trip and Jackson and his wife (?) cooked it for us at the same day and we had very delicious dinner together. Thank you for everything! 😊

Everything! Jackson, the host, is amazing and incredibly friendly. He picked us up at the Harbour and then gave us a tour of the area and showed us the best spots for dinner, sunset and stores. He helped us organize everything we needed (tours, bikes,…) during our time quickly and very cheap. The hotel itself is very cute, super clean and lies perfectly in a quiet neighborhood which is close to the city center. Jackson and his wife made us wonderful breakfast and welcomed us with open arms. I cannot recommend this place enough :) Thank you for everything!

The shower head should be replaced for better usage of the facility.

Good breakfast: omlette, local fruits salad and fresh juice. The owners are nice and supportive with everything you might need.

Nothing - all was good

Jackson was really helpful and organized trips to the volcano and tunnels and rented us bikes for a really good price. The breakfast was also good and the room was very clean and comfortable! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Jackson is very friendly host, we really enjoyed being his guests! He organized a transfer for us from the ferry and a really good private guided tour in the village, led by Freddy. Jackson made every morning amazing breakfast for us: toast, tropical fruits, eggs, coffe & tea plus delicious juice. He gave us local recommendations and helped with the taxi as well. The accommodation is quiet and perfect for travelling couples.

Hotel still under construction (but it didn't bother us). Kitchen a bit basic for cooking and no fridge. No hot water during our stay.

Warm welcome by the owner at the ferry arrival. He is very thoughtful and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and we could choose when to eat. Owner arranged tours, bike rentals and laundry for us. We're very thankful for everything!

the port is not very close

the hosts are kind and helpful on the first day he picked us up at the airport and then took us around the city for half an hour to show us the sites of interest and to advise us where to eat. The breakfast is very good, bread, egg, jam, juice with fresh fruit, fruit salad, tea and coffee. the room is very quiet and you sleep well at night. I recommend it. The bed Is very comfortable.

The host is exceptional. He makes you feel like you’re part of the family and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great time.

Amelia and Jackson were wonderful hosts that helped us arrange everything from the hostal (tours, bike rentals, taxis - even though the taxi failed to show up) The hostal is in a very quiet neighborhood.

WiFi works fine but is slow sometimes. Like a “tortuga”! :-)

The greatest thing by no doubt was the hospitality of the owner! Señor Jackson came to pick us up at the port for free and showed us around in town after we checked in. He was very willing to help us with anything. Furthermore the breakfast was good and the room was fine.
