This is a lovely setting and I'm sure I would have given a higher review if we had a ocean view room. We traveled with a very exclusive travel company and I'm sure they must have requested it but a big group was coming in the next day so we had a room on the canal which was not good.... More

This was a wonderful boutique hotel. Great location on Isabella Island across from the beach with iguanas literally crossing the road all day. Room and private bathroom were both plenty large and immaculately clean. The infinity pool and adjoining outdoor shaded lounging area was a great way to relax between the days activities on and around Isabella and watching the... More

Our trip to the Galapagos just would not have been the same without Iguana Crossing! This is a beautiful boutique hotel with a spectacular view, which has been designed to take every advantage of Isabela's natural beauty. Service is very personalized and each of the staff members goes out of his or her way to ensure a comfortable stay. And... More

Loved the location right across from the ocean, the rooms, the fabulous dining, and the friendly staff with Marcia! The island of Isabela was our favorite on the Galapagos. Wish we could have stayed longer...

Having arrived on the island with only $16 to our name, little did we realise that there were no ATM machines on the island. It was an absolute nightmare and although we didn't stay at this hotel, the staff went out of their way to help us. We ate in the hotel a number of times and the food was... More

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful place this is. The hotel is beautiful and very well kept. The setting is lovely with a nice beach, hiking trails, bikes to rent all right at hand. The town is cute with a sweet church, post office and a nice restaurant although the food at Iguana Crossing is so good you may not... More

I chose to stay in Iguana Crossing during my visit to Isabela and it's absolutely the right decision.

Just returned from a week's stay on beautiful Isabela. Rather than going from island to island on a cruise, we chose to explore Isabela and make Iguana Crossing our home base. We were not disappointed. Hotel staff, including manager Pablo, made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived and throughout our stay The property is well-maintained and "casually stylish."... More

Iguana crossing was my favorite hotel of our Galapagos trip and for good reason- its relaxing and beautiful- overlooking a wonderful beach, breaking surf, and an occasional iguana crossing the road right nearby. The hotel is fairly new and at the very end of the unpaved street in Puerto Villamil. You can walk into town in about 3 or 4... More

This is by far the best hotel on Isla Isabela. On top of that, their restaurant makes yummy food. We just ended a 4-night stay at the Iguana Crossing, which is a short walk from the middle of Puerto Villamil. The hotel is situated directly across from the beach. If you choose to go to bed with your balcony doors... More
