We stayed at La Gran Tortuga for 5 nights. We loved it! Jose and Juana were fabulous hosts and we had everything we needed including a wonderful breakfast every morning. The room was comfortable, conveniently located and it is priced very well! We had a wonderful time on Isla Isabella and Jose and Jauna helped to make it superb.

Decent hotel with large rooms and comfortable beds. The bathroom could use some improvement though. The breakfast was good with eggs & sausages, toasted bread, yogurt, granola, and fruit. There's a roof top lounge area with hammocks which is nice to chill out with fellow travelers. The location is good, close to the beach, restaurants and bars and the port.... More

Very nice owners who take care of you from arrival at the port to leaving the island, good help for booking tours, and agreeable, very clean rooms. Good modern air condition. Fair price. Pto Villamil is a very tiny place, so all is close. There are some rooms without windows and thus not having a good ventilation, for single visitors,... More

If you are looking for something authentic and for pure nature this is the place to stay. It's 100% eco and the owner Ana Rosa and her husband have created an unique environment and do their job with a big joy. They will talk to you, share their opinions, tell you the whole story of the island and their resort... More

The friendly, family run place is a good option to stay. Close to the beach and the main plaza with all the restaurants, it's located perfectly. Our room was large and very well equipped, there was a TV and A/C, WiFi-signal and cupboards for your things. The bathroom was very spacious and well working. A good breakfast is served in... More

I agreed with the other reviewers regarding the helpful and friendly staff at this place, but it was curious to me that nobody had mentioned how noisy the rooms along the street are. Maybe the rooms upstairs are quieter, but try to avoid the streetside rooms, because you can hear everything!! Breakfasts were good and hot water, air conditioning were... More

This was my third trip staying at Gran Tortuga in Isla Isabela! I spent two weeks surfing, snorkeling, hiking, and horseback riding. What really sets Gran Tortuga apart from some of the other hotels/hostels on the island is the personalized service/care from the owners. The complimentary breakfast does not end at a certain time, it is when you wake up,... More

The first time I stayed here I was a student at the University of Miami, we had a program on Isabela for marine biology students. I was not assigned to live at the Hotel/Hostal Gran Tortuga, but two of my friends were, so I ended up spending a lot of time here. The place I was originally assigned had no... More
