This hotel couldn't be positioned better; it's right on the beach. Each morning we had at least one sea lion sleeping at the hotel (one even took over a lounger that was left unoccupied for a few minutes). The rooms are very clean with excellent a/c. The staff are very helpful and helped arrange for last minute tours and a taxi to ferry in the very early morning. Breakfast is served on the top floor with an exceptional view. The hotel is well located to the main activities in town. Everything is close and walkable. Highly recommend this hotel.

Loved our time at the Comorant. Listening to and having the cool breeze from the ocean and being able to walk out on to the beach was amazing. The staff were so helpful, breakfast was delicious, and the bed was amazing. We had a sea lion sleeping on a beach chair outside of our balcony almost the entire trip which brought us so much joy and had us remembering how special Isabella and the Galapagos are the entire trip.

Perfect location on a beautiful beachfront. Can almost touch the Pacific from your room. Spotlessly clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! Bonus: Panchito the small-ish sea lion arrives at daybreak to sleep on a lounge chair till dusk! Relaxing next to him whilst reading a book is a classic memory.

We understand it is the Galapagos and we came to see wildlife, but we didn’t expect a resident gecko in our room. He was tiny, but unexpected. We also had at least 30 ants in the room over the course of the stay. As for amenities, they had a coffee house/bar upstairs where we ate breakfast and the ocean right in front of you, but other than that amenities were limited. We enjoyed the stay despite the extra guests. You can’t beat the view!

This is a wonderful place to stay while in the charming Island of Isabella. The hotel had a stunning view of the white sand beach and was spotless. The room was small but nice and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast was amazing and catered to many types of dietary restrictions and was on the 3rd floor so with an awesome view. We were welcomed by a charming and helpful manager who went out of his way to ensure a great stay. I would suggest more updated beach chairs with working sun umbrellas, put outlets in the bathrooms so the hairdryers will work, and fresh coffee in the morning, but none of this detracted from an amazing experience. I hope to come back!

we stayed in a mainfloor room that walked out directly onto the beach. The room was well maintained, what with the sand that inevitably tracks in despite mats and a washing hose. The hotel is near the end of the strip along the beach which kept things quiet but easily walkable to anything we wanted. Absolutely gorgeous place to stay.

What a view

This tucked away hotel right on the beach was a lovely way to end our journeys in the Galapagos. We had a beach facing second floor room and loved it. Breakfast on the rooftop was yummy and everything modern and clean. Easy walking to restaurants and the numerous tour companies. Had a baby seal hang out on one of our lounge chairs all day. Adorable.

Very clean, spacious rooms appearing to be recently renovated with gorgeous view and ability to hear the ocean. Felt like paradise. Had amenities such as toiletries and hair dryer. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, able to have laundry washed for us for a small fee. Breakfast was great with fresh fruit, various breads, meats and eggs cooked to order. We enjoyed sitting outside on the beach under the umbrellas. Only complaint was 2 episodes of no water for flushing toilets, washing face or showering at night. Likely a water pressure issue uncontrollable by the hotel but thought it should be mentioned. It was a minor inconvenience. Overall we loved our stay here.

This is a beautiful two story hotel right on the sand, open and light, and had security cameras in public areas (which was comforting even though we never felt them necessary). It is close to everything (central market area, restaurants, beach bars) and highly walkable to elsewhere, but on the quiet side of island which was nice for sleeping. Reception always had someone available and helpful when we needed them and Nathalia even assisted us with a tour snafu that was not her fault/problem.
Very clean and comfortable with really strong wifi, amazing rainfall shower with hotel-branded toiletries, AC unit in room, towels provided for the beach, and there was filtered water available in the lobby.
There was a free and delicious breakfast with different specials each day (yogurt, granola, donuts, banana pancakes, plantains, bacon, made to order eggs/omelettes, waffles, fruit, fresh juices, variety of bread, and more) on the second floor beach patio.
We saw other guests at breakfast each day but felt like the only ones there otherwise. I will say that we wished we’d splurged on an ocean-front room once we saw the beautiful beach! Lots of marine iguanas everywhere, rays, and some sharks visible from the shore. Highly recommend staying here, we would have loved to have moved in forever!

I had a short but sweet stay here. This hotel was a base for my multiple tours in Isabela. The breakfast and the ladies who served/cooked it were lovely. My room was spacious and had nice toiletries. And when I had to leave early for a 6 am ferry, the front desk (Jose) very kindly packed up a breakfast for me, which was much appreciated

Very nice hotel right on the beach, and in an excellent area. I've been on famous beaches in Florida, California, Hawaii, France, and Italy. This has been my favorite. The white-sand beach is gradual. The water temperature is perfect. And the marine iguanas are amazing. Breakfast was good, too. Eggs made too taste and other hot foods (e.g., French toast). This hotel earns five stars, plus, from me.

Fantastic view! People were very nice and were glad to help when you had questions. It is close to everything but just far enough away so as not to be right in the middle of everything. Rooms weren’t huge but had what you needed. The bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room but they did install a beer and beverage fridge in the lobby on the second last day of our stay. The hotel is quite small so noise is not a problem. The breakfast in the morning is on a rooftop deck and was very good. This was a great place to spend 4 nights.
