El Paraiso De Isabela

“Nice, clean, convenient, quiet, family run good price”

Would recommend this place. Clean. Bright rooms. Fairly new. TV didn't work too good. Centrally located. Store downstairs. Helpful staff, Good price. Restaurants and attractions nearby. Good breakfast on the roof.

“Does the trick!”

This is a small no frills hotel. It was clean. Breakfast included, which consisted of toast, eggs, fruit, juice, coffee. Basically a continental but it was served on the rooftop restaurant.

This is a small no frills hotel. It was clean. Breakfast included, which consisted of toast, eggs, fruit, juice, coffee. Basically a continental but it was served on the rooftop restaurant. The restaurant was only open to serve our breakfasts, as there were very few people staying in the hotel. Amenities are few but there is a good store on sight, as well as good internet. It is a very short walk to the beach and all the restaurants and shops on the main street. A very economical and comfortable place to stay. Perfect for an eco-trip where all you need is a bed for the night.

“Adequate accommodations on Isabela Island”

Stayed here one night while on a HS school group tour. Our room was large with 2 double beds, refrigerator and a standalone closet and shelf unit. Bathroom also a good size with a large stall shower. Unfortunately, there was a huge downpour that lasted for a while afternoon and when we returned to the hotel the 2 rooms across the hallway were having flooding issues on their floor and a small amount into the hallway. Luckily, no suitcases on floor and our room was not affected.

“10-minute walk to beachfront”

My room during a two-night stay was comfortably situated on the back (west side) of the hotel. Within the casual pace of Isabela one is not likely to mind the easy, 10-minute (or less) walk to the beachfront. Wifi (if needed) would be best either at the front desk (ground floor) or breakfast area… lisää

I was GRANDPAcking through the Galapagos and caught the public ferry to Isla Isabela. I booked my hotel only hours before my arrival. I booked a Double Room at the El Paraiso de Isabela for 4 nights at $21.20 / night including Breakfast. This was nearly half the price that it was being listed for elsewhere (obviously an error on Expedia’s part). I arrived at the hotel soon after 5pm. They knew nothing about my booking. I wasn’t surprised. With Expedia, you pay up-front on your Credit Card. I showed them the Confirmed Booking and the fact that I had already paid. After 15 minutes of trying to find my reservation (and calling Expedia without success), they just honoured the booking and took me to my room. The room was simple but adequate. It came with a small fridge but the only thing that worked was the internal light. The ensuite was also adequate. And, it came with a decent hot water shower. The room came with aircon (a silent heatpump – that worked). It came with in-room Wifi (that was so slow it was unusable most of the time – this seems to be a common theme throughout the Galapagos Islands). It also came with Cable TV (said Expedia) … I went down to Reception to get the remote. No TV he said … they have no signal. More to the truth is that they stopped paying for the cable channels. No WiFi and no TV … On went my music! 🙂 The ‘free Breakfast’ was served upstairs in the Terrace. It was a typical Breakfast with coffee / tea, juice, scrambled egg, bread roll, margerine, and jam. It varied slightly each day.
