I thoroughly recommend Max's hotel, the Albemarle on the island of Isabela, Galapagos. Max said we were the longest staying customer since he opened (at 11 nights). I can understand this as most people visit Isabela for a short stay as part of an overall tour of the Galapagos Islands. We (my partner and 11 year old daughter) decided to... more

I optioned to tour the Galapagos land base and I did spend lots of money, Santa Cruz Royal Palm and Isabela Albermarle both Hotels very expensive, Carnaval y mardi Grass in Spanish, We had DJ in front of our room with the highest volume you could imagine from 10 am to 1 Am next day, we could not rest at... more

Isabela is a paradise and Albemarle is a gem that was totally unexpected in such a sleepy remote island. The hotel is small, run by a delightful young couple Max and Diana. Couldn't do enough for us and the quality of the suite we stayed in was superb. Clean, friendly, good food and comfy beds what more could you ask... more

Albemarle was our first choice, but they were booked. A lot of tours pass through there. And so we stayed at San Vicente....for one hour... before leaving and wandering around town in search of different accommodations. Luckily for us, Albemarle had a cancellation and we jumped right on it! Throughout our stay, we ran into several groups in our similar... more

We were travelling with a 3-yr-old, so having the personal touch of manager Max and his family was wonderful. Our little girls played together, or at least alongside each other. The food was the big surprise. Awesome! After 10 days on San Cristobal, my wife was particularly tired of the food. Chef Marco created very interesting meals, especially upon learning... more

The design and interiors of the rooms, restaurant and bar are warm and appealing, The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a Master Suite offering magnificent ocean views and a long sandy... more

Beautiful hotel right on the beach in a fantastic location. The room was fantastic with an amazing bathroom. The view was stunning. The food was memorable and all the staff very helpful. A lovely place to stay and Isabella itself is an incredible place to visit. more

The Albemarle Hotel is clearly the best choice for accommodations on Isabela Island in the Galapagos. The hotel has the best view in Isabela ... and if that's not enough, it is very clean, comfortable (hot water and air conditioning) and well run. From what I saw while walking around the town, the was far and away the nicest hotel... more

My girlfriend and I had a great time in Isabela and hotel Abermarle. I'm writing this review because I think it is important for other people to know this hotel is the best in Isabela. I had such a hard time deciding where to stay, but I'm glad I chose this hotel. The room was nice and spacious, had a... more
