Isla Isabela, Tomás de Berlanga hotel rooms at the Independent

"Relaxing room facing a deck with immediate access to the beach. Beach is clean and nice view. Helpful staff and free coffee always available."

"This property is simply fantastic - overlooking the ocean - superb view and location - staff extremely friendly and helpful - all shops close by - great location - enjoyed thoroughly "

"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. "

"We had a lovely night stay here. You’re on an island so some ants and bugs can be expected. This isn’t The Four Seasons so if you were looking for that you would be disappointed. What you will find staff willing to go above and beyond like Jonathan, who made our stay lovely. Love that you could just walk to the beach right behind the property. The peace and tranquillity you will find here is unmatched. I think this is the best place to stay on the island. We will definitely be returning. "

"We loved our stay here. It is on the edge of the small town, but easily walkable to everything including a sunset bar that was awesome. I assume it was not coincidentally named Iguana Crossing, but it is literally located at a point where iguana after iguana cross the road. The views from our room and the pool were unbelievable and the wildlife that literally walks in the lobby is amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful."

"Property was basic for my needs. My room was above communal area so you could hear talking and playing pool at night, so slightly in convenient if your up early for excursions. Request a room away from there and should be fine "

"This is a very nice place to stay while in Isabela Family owned they will go the extra mile to make you feel like at home. I will recommend this place and for sure will book again if I come back to beautiful Isabela island "

"Melina the receptionist was exceptionally professional and hospitable. She helped me alot and made my stay very pleasant with her tips, assistance and gracefulness. "
