We only had hot water on one day although I suspect electrical things were turned off due to the Tsunami warning.

Sula Sula was in a great location a short walk from town, there is a mini-mart opposite, a laundrette next to that and a micro-brewery with a lovely atmosphere just down the road. We appreciated being able to use the washing line outside to dry our swimsuits. Our older children enjoyed the lounge area to get a bit of space from the younger ones and some great wifi. The owners were friendly and waited for us to be picked up before evacuating due to the Tsunami (Sula Sula is also 11m above sea level so if thats a worry for you this could be a great option!)

Our room was right on the street, and the windows are thin, so any passing noise has an impact. The AC could be a bit noisy as well. The curtains were thin. The hot water takes a solid five minutes to heat up, but I'm not sure it ever gets HOT. The bathroom door is see-through. There was a small spray bottle of soap at the sink that was annoying to use. The location is a bit out of the way, but it's a small community, so it's not a huge issue.

There were a couple of easily accessible water filter bottles on the property. The manager definitely mentioned that the water was not potable. Breakfast was decent, including juice, eggs, toast with butter and jam, yogurt and fruit. We were graciously allowed a late checkout, and a taxi was arranged for us to go to the airport.

This place was great, we would stay there again, the owner was super nice, helped us book the ferry and when we had to leave at 4 am, he gave us a snack for next day breakfast.

Staff came into our room multiple times a day tidying up our room which meant we often couldn’t find our things and felt slightly intrusive especially in the evenings.

Very clean and good location (slightly outside of town) but not too far. Breakfast was great and staff very friendly and helpful

We really enjoyed our stay at Sula Sula. The host is very kind and gave us a rundown of all the places to see on Isabela. She can also help book tours with reputable tour guides if needed. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. WiFi worked very well. The breakfasts were delicious. The shower was the best we had on the 3 islands (good water pressure and hot). A/C was great. Isabela is small, so the location is a short walk to everywhere. They also stored our luggage for us after checkout and arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport.

The only thing I disliked was that the room wasn’t very modern. But it was exceptionally clean and quite charming. I would absolutely stay again.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, super comfortable and big bed, great shower - warm and great pressure, clean. Air con was a welcomed treat.

Actually, everything was great, no complaints.

Sula Sula is in quite a central location. The family who run this hotel are incredibly nice and helpful. At check in we we given a pretty complete synopsis of everywhere to go in the town and specific places that would be helpful to know about. Their kindness cannot be overstated. The breakfasts were wonderful, fresh juice, freshly cooked eggs, very good rolls, coffee and a few other items as well. The room was roomy, comfortable and very clean. There is even a clothesline you can use to dry your wet items after a day at the beach :-)

Our stay at Sula Sula was great. We stayed here 4 nights. The bed and the room were very comfortable. The breakfast was very nice and a good addition to our early planned activities. The staff was of great help to plan, book, and coordinate the timings of our tours, super friendly!! Julio was great in explaining to us how the tours would go on the following mornings. I definitely recommend Sula Sula!!

This is a nice hotel, excellent air conditioning, good wifi, really nice staff. However, it is a 10 to 15 minute walk from restaurants and shops. It's an easy walk, but very hot during the day and dark at night.

Off the beaten track, yet 10 min walk to the town center and playa Isabela. The rooms are spacious and clean, good A/ & breakfast.

Very friendly small hotel, great breakfast, the owners was very helpful and interesting to speak to. Our room was large and looked new with good air con. It is in a nice and quiet location but still only 5 minutes walk to restaurants and bars. Isabella is so nice, much quieter than Santa Cruz but still with lots of places to eat and drink.

I loved everything about this place.

The place was beautiful. Nice big, airy dining area where we were served a good breakfast every morning. Cold drinks for reasonable prices also sold there. Very good wifi. The beds were comfortable and room was spacious. Showers got hot with good pressure. A local naturalist guide with 16 years experience and his wife built and run this hostal.and you can book tours through them. We loved the people and the place and will be back!

The staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Julio was always looking at our needs and also was an espectacular tourist guide taking us to visit the Volcan Sierra Negra and also Minas de Azufre. Moreover, he liaise on our behalf with other tourist agencies and services in Puerto Villamil. We fully recommend his place to everyone and also ask him for tourist advice 😉

We loved our stay at Sula Sula. The host was incredible. Breakfast was great and they even offered to make us a to go breakfast. The room was clean and tidy. Fresh water to fill your water bottle up, daily. Short walk to every where. I would absolutely stay again we had a wonderful experience.

Stayed in July 2024

It was a bit noisy and not super close to the places we were going to, but this is no fault of the property.

The owners are very friendly, the breakfast is good and the room was big and clean. They also let us stay more time the day we were leaving.

Still has room for improvement in service and quality, but that can be said about most hotel infrastructure in Puerto Villamil.

Good internet connection, good price-value relationship considering the existing infrastructure in the town. Kind staff.

Sula Sula is a great place to stay when on Isla Isabela. It was clean, comfortable, with a nice breakfast and quick wifi. The family who run the hotel are really lovely and couldn’t do anymore for us. We also booked the Los Tunels tour through them which was a highlight of our whole stay in the Galapagos.

Stayed in March 2024

Best accommodation we had while traveling the Galapagos islands. Very clean, big rooms with really good AC. The staff is very attentive and helpful in all matters.

Beautiful corner room with lots of natural light and a great breeze. The shower was good, brekky was lovely and the staff were fantastic. Just outside of town, maybe a 10 minute walk. Would recommend— great value for money!

Peaceful, clean, friendly staff especially when catering for us as we were vegetarian and gluten free.

There is nothing we didn't like.

Sula Sula is a familiar hostal. It is simple, but very comfortable. Our room was very big, a lot of place to put the luggage and to hang clothes. Bed was comfortable, shower worked very good and air conditioner worked very good too. The windows have protection against mosquitos, so you can leave the windows open and get natural light. The wifi doesn't work very well in the room, but it works very good at the reception and there are a place with sofas also to use the wifi. The room was clean and the whole hostal was always clean, even though the streets in Isabela island are dirt streets. Julio and his family are super nice and welcomes you as family. Julio arranged tours for us, that were very good, kayaking and los tuneles, for a better price than other agencies. He also gave us tips where to rent the best bikes and what we shouldn't miss. He also arranged for us the boat to Santa Cruz. There is water for the guests to refill our water bottles and the breakfast had everything we needed: fruit, yogurt, eggs, tea, bread, jam. Check-in and check-out was so smooth, we got our room by the time we arrived and could stay until the time had to leave for the boat. Everybody on Isabela Island is so friendly and easygoing. We loved our stay at Sula Sula and can't wait to go back!
