Stayed here as an independent traveler while visiting Galapagos. We had a great time doing day trips with local guides (helps if you speak Spanish and they really do know the best places to take you to!) and eating out at local restaurants, but the hotel really was the low point of our stay. Great location right on the beach... More

The Albemarle was somewhat of a dissapointment to us for the cost. First - BEAWARE - it is located RIGHT next to a lively bar. If you need rest - don't stay here. The bar noise goes until wee hours of the morning. Although the desk clerk assured us the noise stops after 9:00 PM it does not. In addition,... More

Although hotels are Isabela are limited, this one did not live up to our expectations. We learned how difficult it was to try and book hotels on our own (outside of an organized tour or agency), but still chose to maintain our independence. Hotel Albemarle is ideally situated directly on the beach, and our room was rather large, but it... More

I stayed at the Albermale for a couple of nights. the girl at the reception was nice. She never asked me for an ID, which could be explained by how safe Isabela is (literally, there is no crime whatsoever). I got the Crossman room. I was not very surprised. Even though it has a nice tiny pool area, the room... More

My wife and I were travelling from Peru and were really looking forward to the Hotel Albemarle and quiet on the beautiful island of Isabela. The hotel was great and view wonderful. The full size floor to ceiling window opened up fully and wind was lovely. One thing people should know however, recently a bar opened right next to the... More

We (my husband and I and 3 young children) stayed at the Hotel Albemarle for 3 nights during our land-based trip around the Galapagos. We found that there were good and bad things about our stay there. The good things included the sheer beauty of the hotel itself and especially the setting - it was right in front of a... More

My new wife and I stayed at this hotel at the beginning of February and had the most fantastic time and were made to feel very welcome in this beautiful hotel. It is run by an English guy called Max and his wife Diana, who were both very accommodating, Max has great knowledge of the island and organised all 4... More

I have been to the Galapagos Islands many many times. I feel like I know the islands intimately, having stayed on the three most heavily populated islands many times. This hotel is in absolutely the best location on the best island to visit. The island only has about 2000 permanent inhabitants, all of the streets are sand, with a laid-back... More

Do not stay at this hotel. The photos and description on the website are highly over exaggerated. We prepaid for a five night stay through a travel agent. The room was extremely hot - the air conditioner didn't work well. The latch on the window was broken and instead of repairing a simple latch, they nailed it shut. Therefore, the... More
