Iguana Crossing Boutique Hotel

The hotel photographs well and has a nice outdoor seating area around a pool facing the ocean. However, get ocean front rooms. We were booked a "volcanoe " view room, which really just faces the back yard looked into dining room and hall. The manager was helpful and sympathetic and changed us for two nights to ocean front room, which was better. The breakfast buffet was basic at best. I think this is a fine place to stay if you got ocean front rooms, but given it is quite a bit more expensive than other hotels on island, I would look elsewhere.

Incredible! Best hotel on the island! The owner, Phillips, made sure all the guests had everything needed and more. Staff was excellent and the property was exceptional! We will definitely be staying here again!

Not worth the price The view from the hotel and our room was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, this hotel is not a high end hotel and is not worth the price. There are just as nice hotels in Puerto Villamil for a lot less money that are also on the beach. The hospitality was sub-par, the front desk treated us more like an inconvenience as opposed to guests. The front desk was not always staffed, and at times you had to look around to find someone. We alerted the management to my dietary restriction but the staff looked at me each morning at breakfast like I had two heads when I requested almond milk. The room needed a deeper clean and maintenance as it had mildew in the shower, rust and the tile grout was crumbling. There were no cushions/pads on the chaise lounges on our balcony so sitting on them was incredibly uncomfortable as they are made of wood. Overall it is a nice hotel with a beautiful view but not worth the money.

Great hotel in a magical island This hotel is beautiful. Comfortable beds and amazing sea views. Food was good from the restaurant, just make sure to make a reservation the day before you plan on going. Location was good. Very quiet but only a few minute walk to stores and restaurants. Right next door to board walk that leads to tortoise breeding center. Pool was great to have after a hot day and sun beds were fantastic for relaxing.

Isabela is so relaxed and so is this hotel. Very nice location at the end of a dirt road which is the Main Street that runs along the beach. Ocean and sunset views. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. It was luxury by Isabela standards, but the shower is restricted by a pump button that gives about 10 seconds of water per pump and no paper allowed in the toilet. Water is not clean to drink so purified water is provided and is plentiful. Housekeeping was twice a day and very thorough. Place was very clean. Staff was extremely attentive. Restaurant was very good but they request that we placed our order in advance with our preferred time to eat. We ordered at 4:30 for a 6:30 dinner. The meals were high quality and delicious. Drinks were available but limited selection. Breakfast was basic but more than adequate. A few fruit selections a couple of cereals, bacon or sausage, and bread for toast. Eggs were made to order. We had excellent communication with the hotel staff in advance of our trip to arrange our activities which were all outstanding. We were picked up in the lobby and dropped back at the hotel after each activity. Airport transfers were also arrange through the hotel which were inexpensive and helpful since we arrived by plane early in the morning. Our room was ready when we arrived. This is the very nicest of any of the hotels and we were very happy with our choice.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful!!! The service was extraordinary, attentive and incredibly friendly. The room was large and comfortable with a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean beach, which was just steps away from the hotel. We saw many marine iguanas, birds and other sea creatures. Our dinners were delicious and the breakfast buffet had a good variety. After a busy day touring, relaxing around the beautiful pool with a tasty drink was a lovely way to end the day.
