First and foremost, Juan Daniel, the manager, is one of the main reasons to come here. He frenetically runs the hotel so everything is in tip top shape. Whatever your fancy desires, he will make happen. He is gracious, accommodating, and a great guy. The hotel itself overlooks the ocean, adjacent to a jogging path. The location could not be... More

We very much enjoyed our stay at Iguana Crossing. It is right across the street from a beautiful beach. There is a lagoon on the back side of the property that has lots of marine iguanas and wildlife to see. The staff is wonderfully friendly and service was superb. The lounge area is all glass and has wonderful views, comfortable... More

We appreciate your kind comments about the hotel. If we may add, it was awesome to share some time with you as well. Even if the showers can be annoying, we must add that sweet water is an extremely precious ressource in Isabela, so we must take as many meassures as we can in order to preserve it. We´re glad...

This is a boutique hotel with the most amazing views of a white sand beach, magnificent sunsets, and the daily parade of iguanas crossing from the ocean to the lagoon. Accommodations are stylish and comfortable, & service is impeccable. Staff go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. My only reservation is that food & (especially) drink at... More

We stayed here three nights over Christmas as our Christmas Treat. Ironically, the transfer to the hotel was provided by the Red Mangrove Lodge, who we had stayed with in Puerto Ayora! Once there we were greeted by the manager who welcomed us with a juice and explained the need to save water (the showers operated via a push button... More

Great views, great rooms, good food, excellent staff. It's been years since I encountered this level of service. Directly across from the ocean--you could literally throw a rock and hit it. At the edge of town, so a short walk but very quiet. Easily best hotel on the island and pretty much the best we stayed in Galapagos or Ecuador.... More
