The hotel is located on a very beautiful beach - the best we saw in Galapagos. Rooms are wonderful. Service is a bit slow, preorder your food and drinks in advance as it takes a lot of time to receive them.

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!

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.

Not worth the price
The view from the hotel and our room was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, this hotel is not a high end hotel and is not worth the price. There are just as nice hotels in Puerto Villamil for a lot less money that are also on the beach. The hospitality was sub-par, the front desk treated us more like an inconvenience as opposed to guests. The front desk was not always staffed, and at times you had to look around to find someone. We alerted the management to my dietary restriction but the staff looked at me each morning at breakfast like I had two heads when I requested almond milk. The room needed a deeper clean and maintenance as it had mildew in the shower, rust and the tile grout was crumbling. There were no cushions/pads on the chaise lounges on our balcony so sitting on them was incredibly uncomfortable as they are made of wood. Overall it is a nice hotel with a beautiful view but not worth the money.

This was a fantastic place to stay! We ended up booking this hotel extremely last minute due to no air conditioning in our previously booked hotel, and I’m so glad we did! It is a gorgeous hotel and the staff were all amazing! The pool overlooking the gorgeous blue water was the perfect ending to our day!

A beautiful hotel, great location, a good breakfast and nice rooms with 2 cons: Bear in mind that double bed is not large enough for 2 adults and 2 double beds room does not fit 4 adults (although sold as such). In addition in order to have water in shower you need to push a button every 10 seconds which makes it very uncomfortable. Overall a good and beautiful hotel, but too expensive for the value you get.

Best Hotel we have stayed in since Adare Manor, the challenge of delivering an exceptional hotel experience in such a remote location must be considerable. Nothing was ever too much and the hotel is like South Beach Miami dropped into Galápagos The hotel itself is in the perfect location on the quiet beach and the start of the trials to the Turtle reserve and Wall of Tears walk where you will see giant tortoises in the wild. Above all this is a small hotel that is intimate enough to talk to other guests. This is a place where you can trust them with a key component in the trip of a lifetime, guaranteed that you will be sad to leave.

5 stars!
This was an amazing hotel! Perfect location: across the street from the beach (amazing views), right at the start of the bike trail to the Wall of Tears. Nextdoor is a boatdwalk that takes you past iguanans and flamingos, right to the tortoise breeding center. The staff were wonderful. Pur driver, Family, was so kind and welcoming! The airport trabsfer is incredibly useful ... he even helped with our bags at the airport and getting us checked in. Food was great. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We cant wait ro stay here again!

This hotel really is beautiful and the staff is very nice. I gave it two stars because it fell short in a couple of ways. I understand that they have the bathroom fixtures to conserve water but there are other ways to encourage and even reuse water from showers, etc. The shower was akin to those at the beach, you push a button and get water for about 5 seconds and then it goes off. Same with the sink. I felt like I wasted more water trying to shower and wash my face using these fixtures. One other oddity was the floors were very sticky. We would shower before bed and the walk from the shower to the bed - somehow we ended up with super sticky feet in bed - very weird and gross. Probably just the cleaner they use. The restaurant is convenient but not that great and very overpriced. They provided no information on the local town, a map, things to do, local restaurants, shops, etc. I'm sure if we asked, we could get some info, but they weren't sharing openly.

The property is located right at the edge an endless, beautiful beach and the views are stunning. However, since it is the last property at the end of the strip, it gets very windy and it can be fairly loud at night, as the windows rattle. There is a hot tub on the top floor terrace, which is a greay amenity, but the water does not get very warm unfortunately. The food at the hotel restaurant is great, as are the cocktails.

Iguana Crossing is an absolute gem on Isabela. We visited for four nights during our Galapagos honeymoon and this property was by far our favorite stay! Right across from the beach with an abundance of iguanas, we slept with our balcony doors cracked and listened to the waves crash. The staff was accommodating and helped us to call taxis as needed. The breakfast was a delicious spread each morning. Our only complaint was that the water in the shower only runs for 8 seconds at a mild lukewarm temperature in an attempt to be more eco friendly. It was not a deal breaker, but we are used to longer/warmer showers.

The first night we had no hot water. After a day of diving, that's the worst! The TV did not work and view wasn't great. They did upgrade us the 2nd night which was a little better. Still no hot water. As for eco friendliness, they kept turning the temperature down to 17degrees when they cleaned our room. Why make it so insanely cold???? Lots of energy wasted.

Beautiful hotel and location. The staff was excellent and helpful. Food was good. Restaurant area with great atmosphere and views. The lounge beds by pool were super comfy.
