Marine iguanas live here! It is right on the beach with an incredible view. Two blocks, if that, to the center of town. A bar with happy hour onsite, great music, hammocks in several places and overall very chill - a place to really be on vacation. They can arrange tours and transportation and were very helpful with any question... More

We're really happy we chose this hotel in Isabela. It's located on the best stretch of beach (There are a few hotels crammed at the other end of the beach but Caleta Iguana is on the quieter side). If you want to enjoy unspoilt beach with marine iguanas coming up to you & sunbathing just a few inches away from... More

We stayed at the hotel's backpackers twins (2 single beds, shared bathroom, cheapest of all rooms) for 3 nights. The hotel staff was kind enough to pick us up at the port and introduce some tours, and she speaks English well. Our room however, was slightly disappointing as the mosquito netting was torn at one of the corner, and there... More

The open air bar is the best I have ever visited: very simple seats at the beach and good cocktails. What is undescribeable is the atmosphere of the place: fantastic music and cool people (a mixture of backback travelers of all ages and locals) sitting around the open fire. Everybody chats to each other und you hear languages from all... More

I can honestly say this was a very special place. I went with friends and family including my young grandsons. Never a dull moment unless you wanted to chill and the staff and tours were amazing. Would highly recommend especially for a large family traveling together. We did our own cooking and cleaning so we also had complete privacy. Enjoyed... More

We planned to spend a few days of our honeymoon on the beach side and ended up spending a whole week in Caleta Iguana. The best location on the beach. Cheap yet clean, young environment yet not noisy, relaxed atmosphere yet functional. Really helpful staff who advised us on things to do on the island and on our trip further. More

I stayed with Felipe early february this year.... I had a fair trek through Isabella before picking my accommodation; i wanted a place where i could trully chill with no inflated prices, secure, and most importantly, a surfer's cove. Being that Galapagos is so tourist prone, finding a local's house turned into a boutique hotel was gold! Felipe is a... More

Pros: Inexpensive, great location, nice staff, near la fiesta, by the sea, beach volley, nice music and bonfire in the evening. Cons: No water and toilet not working for two days and one night, noisy at night, old house. The owner was not taking care of things during our stay, when he returns things will greatly improved. I can say... More

Hi Ivan, Thank you for reviewing us. I am very sorry about the problem with the water during the hours there was no electricity. The problem is that here in Isabela the water has no pressure and if there is no electricity the pump does not work. Anyways I am sorry I was not here during your stay as I... More

The room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the ocean from our room, it had a great outdoor seating/eating area right next to the beach and a wonderful decking area. Breakfast and internet was included and was very good. The staff were very friendly and Felipe could organise any tours you would like and the person he... More
