La Casa de Marita

Our stay was during the slow season (October, 2025) so the hotel was not fully booked. The two front desk attendants we interacted with were both helpful and eager to serve. Consummate professionals. They spoke English flawlessly, which was enormously helpful. The hotel itself is just perfect. Beautiful wood accents, lots of visibility to the picturesque beach. Isabela was our favorite island that we stayed at in the Galapagos, probably largely because of this hotel. Loved the furniture on the beach in the sun and under shade. Comfortable. Loved the hammock. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the A/C as well. 100% would stay again.

Best spot! Oldest hotel in the island and amazing food and views! Right out of the main part of town so it’s a very private setting but a 2 minute walk to the Plaza. The restaurant is incredible and the breakfast was crucial every day. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. Have to stay here!

Great room with ocean view. Good food. Staff friendly and helpful. Room is clean and we had our own terras. Laundry service great, the same day. Super. Eating outside and inside possible. Waiting area at the front if you are waiting to be picked up. We highly recommend this lovely place.

So glad I chose this hotel. It was a definite slice of paradise. I had a room overlooking the beach, which was just gorgeous. My room also had a balcony with two chairs and a hammock. The staff was very lovely and friendly. The location is very easy for walking just a few minutes down the road to restaurants+shops. I did have dinner at the on-site restaurant one night and I thought the food was mediocre, but as everyone says the Mojito is excellent. Breakfast buffet was good albeit simple. Overall would definitely choose this hotel if I were to return to Isabela.

Our  ‘yellow’ room with large windows and sea-facing balcony was one of the best. They provided additional Gluten free breakfast items as requested.  The Senior Receptionist was notably very good and specifically asked us how our stay was going. The hotel is kept very clean. The fridge in the room was great, the room was large, the bed was comfortable, there were chairs, a side table and a hammock on the balcony. There were great views. Quiet in the day and at night, in a good way, allowing us to relax. There is water in reception so no need to buy any. We had the tapas and wine one evening and this was very nice and good value. It was delivered to our room so we could enjoy it on our balcony. It should be noted that the sea is more suited to surfing than swimming unless confident, and this seemed to apply to the whole coastline on that part of the island at least.  There is no lift but staff took our suitcases to the room. Overall we would definitely recommend this hotel.

We had a lovely night stay here. You’re on an island so some ants and bugs can be expected. This isn’t The Four Seasons so if you were looking for that you would be disappointed. What you will find staff willing to go above and beyond like Jonathan, who made our stay lovely. Love that you could just walk to the beach right behind the property. The peace and tranquillity you will find here is unmatched. I think this is the best place to stay on the island. We will definitely be returning.
