    Great staff. Central location. Excellent vegan breakfast. Excellent value for money. Laundry service. Almost all hotels on Isabela are actually hostels. Taking this into account, La Gran Tortuga is an excellent choice.

    Only thing: the curtains don't really block out much light, so as soon as the sun rises, the room is getting bright (for those who don't like sleeping in daylight)

    An overall very nice place to stay in Puerto Villamil (basic hotel, but absolutely fit for purpose and had everything I needed and wanted). Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Fast internet. I was even able to check in early as I had arrived a few hours earlier than intended.

    It would have been nice to have a bit of external space but it wasn't essential.

    Our room was spacious and bright. It was cleaned every day. Hot showers were always available and the Internet connection was reliable. A substantial breakfast was included and cool bottled water was available for refills all day. The location was perfect

    The reception is often not attended. However if you have a question you can approach them during breakfast.

    Great customer service, in the heart of Isabella. We forgot our phone while on the ferry to St Cruz, and they drove down to the water taxi and brought the phone, this is what you can expect from them. Great people, nice property, beautiful island.

    Internet is spotty, which is same across Galapagos. Pillows are a bit hard.

    The room was large and airy. Very clean. Breakfast was probably the best on the island! Absolutely wonderful. And breakfast hours are early so you can still have breakfast and make the early tour. Was provided name of tour agency Tunels Ocean which was amazing. Did the Los Tunels tour with them...tour guide, Alexis is son of the hotels owner. Price of hotel/value was great! Absolutely recommend!
