It’s located in a beautiful part of the beach at the end of town. The pool and rooftop jacuzzi have great views of the surrounding nature. Close to great hikes/walks. There are several restaurants and bars nearby. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The view towards the back lagoon is also very pretty.

Pool and ocean/beach view (and hot tub + view) were fantastic with two young kids. Staff was very helpful. Was a little bummed about the shower situation after paying for a luxury room, but we also understood the desire to be good stewards of the water resources. Having fresh drinking water always available to fill water bottles was great.

The ocean access and local wildlife topped the experience - allowing for so many memorable and intimate moments! It’s called Iguana Crossing for a reason. The location and the beachfront view were impeccable. The location allowed for a more private and quiet stay away from the main centre / night life; while still being easily accessible and walkable. The ocean waves and privacy made for a dreamy ambience that provided the best white noise to sleep to! The staff were also friendly and the room was extra spacious and clean.

Iguana Crossing was a joy! The location is amazing; we had a view of the actual crossing from our room and enjoyed watching the iguanas on their path to/from the ocean. The staff was very helpful and the grounds were beautiful and clean. We will stay there again next time we're on the island!

The best hotel on Isabela Island. Across from a stunning beach. The pool is nice and the food is actually amazing. $1.5 ride from ferry. Don’t bother looking anywhere else. This is as close to US standard 3-4 star hotel you’ll find

Unique and Exceptional

We loved our stay here. It is on the edge of the small town, but easily walkable to everything including a sunset bar that was awesome. I assume it was not coincidentally named Iguana Crossing, but it is literally located at a point where iguana after iguana cross the road. The views from our room and the pool were unbelievable and the wildlife that literally walks in the lobby is amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Great hotel in a magical island

This hotel is beautiful. Comfortable beds and amazing sea views. Food was good from the restaurant, just make sure to make a reservation the day before you plan on going. Location was good. Very quiet but only a few minute walk to stores and restaurants. Right next door to board walk that leads to tortoise breeding center. Pool was great to have after a hot day and sun beds were fantastic for relaxing.

Chic hotel on west side of town

Amazing stay in this beautiful island. One of the best in all Galápagos. We arrived to Isabela via boat. We decided to walk from the port instead of taking a taxi. Is a long walk, so if you have heavy luggage I wouldn’t recommend it. Rooms were comfortable, modern and some have spectacular views of the ocean. The shower though, had this plunger thingy mounted on the wall which you have to press repeatedly every 10 seconds or so otherwise the water is cut off. We stayed in 3 different islands and every hotel had a feature similar to that to preserve water. Staff was super friendly. However they mixed up my reservation and somehow they were expecting us the day before. And they were sending messages asking at what time I would be arriving at the hotel. Breakfast was simple but good. The infinity pool is nice if only a little small. There’s a great bar next to the property. Beyond that, a huge park great for hiking and wildlife watching. I recommend this property 100%

Nice pool and bar. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast was really terrible. There was limited choice and what was there looked and tasted less than average. The hotel has a restaurant but if you want to dine there, you have to order 3 hours in advance. There are plenty of other great places to eat on the island though.

The shower only stayed on for 3 seconds at a time, WiFi was poor and the laundry service lost my clothing with no offer to compensate me.
