My family and I spent 5 days at this boutique 'home-away-from-home' hotel at magical Isabela Island and we had a great stay. The hotel's located a few steps away from an amazing beach. One night, we walked to the beach at low tide and discovered many tide-pools. There was a large bird pecking on a few Sally Light-foot crabs and... More

We ended up at Iguana Crossing after a change in travel dates caused significant alterations to our plans. We always say things happen for a reason and we are so glad we got the chance to enjoy this beautiful hotel for two nights. We missed out on Ocean view rooms due to the hotel being booked solid and it broke... More

The hotel is at the edge of town along the ocean front. Lots marine iguanas and Sally Lightfoot crabs at the beach. There a large marsh in the back of the hotel. You can walk along the pristine beach and not seem many other people. The hotel has a bar with a large window overlooking the ocean. There's also a... More

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Watching the Iguanas cross the road in the morning and returning at night is priceless. Great bar, Great Views, Great Staff. My only complaint was that the coffee in the morning was luke warm.

My wife and I spent a whole week at the Iguana Crossing hotel and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the manager, Marcia. While the hotel doesn't have 100% of the amenities that modern, top quality hotels have, it is as close as you will be able to find in the Galapagos. The... More

This is a lovely setting and I'm sure I would have given a higher review if we had a ocean view room. We traveled with a very exclusive travel company and I'm sure they must have requested it but a big group was coming in the next day so we had a room on the canal which was not good.... More

This was a wonderful boutique hotel. Great location on Isabella Island across from the beach with iguanas literally crossing the road all day. Room and private bathroom were both plenty large and immaculately clean. The infinity pool and adjoining outdoor shaded lounging area was a great way to relax between the days activities on and around Isabella and watching the... More

Our trip to the Galapagos just would not have been the same without Iguana Crossing! This is a beautiful boutique hotel with a spectacular view, which has been designed to take every advantage of Isabela's natural beauty. Service is very personalized and each of the staff members goes out of his or her way to ensure a comfortable stay. And... More

Loved the location right across from the ocean, the rooms, the fabulous dining, and the friendly staff with Marcia! The island of Isabela was our favorite on the Galapagos. Wish we could have stayed longer...

Having arrived on the island with only $16 to our name, little did we realise that there were no ATM machines on the island. It was an absolute nightmare and although we didn't stay at this hotel, the staff went out of their way to help us. We ate in the hotel a number of times and the food was... More
