Pros (+) Very nice hotel a little outside of town but near the dock. The room was spacious and clean; breakfasts were tasty and ample. The real find was the restaurant, which is rarely open. If you can get them to serve you a dinner, go for it!
Cons (-) A little walk into Puerto Villamil, but it’s flat and easy.

Pros (+) Good, quiet location half way between Port/Concha de Perla and the town. Clean, comfy, large room with nice bathroom. Staff were very friendly. Good air-conditioning and WiFi.
Cons (-) A little pricey. Couple of small windows that didn't have blinds. Shame we couldn't get a late checkout particularly as the hotel was empty 😞

Cons (-) Not sure where to start, however we booked one of the best rooms in the hotel, one of the best hotels on Island Isabella per booking. We had huge cockroaches running through our bed, pillows, under bad, bathroom and closets. We couldn’t sleep there, as the amount of them was huge.
