The Albemarle Hotel is clearly the best choice for accommodations on Isabela Island in the Galapagos. The hotel has the best view in Isabela ... and if that's not enough, it is very clean, comfortable (hot water and air conditioning) and well run. From what I saw while walking around the town, the was far and away the nicest hotel... more

My girlfriend and I had a great time in Isabela and hotel Abermarle. I'm writing this review because I think it is important for other people to know this hotel is the best in Isabela. I had such a hard time deciding where to stay, but I'm glad I chose this hotel. The room was nice and spacious, had a... more

Hotel Albemarle is exceptional, particularly against the backdrop of Puerto Villamil, a sleepy fishing village. The hotel's owner, Max Murray, is an Englishman in his 30s who is extremely helpful in both arranging excursions and providing advice as a local. We stayed in the only suite, which is a luxurious 1-bedroom apartment. The bathroom in the suite is top-notch, with... more

The Albermarle is right on the beach, in the center of town (a very small, very quiet little village really), and every room has a wonderful sea view. Max was fantastic at suggesting things to do, and he arranged several taxis, a boat/snorkeling tour, a... more

After being two nights at the horrible Casa Marita in Puerto Villamil, we stayed two nights in this new hotel. The boss an english man named Max Murray was very nice, very friendly.

Hotel Albemarle is newly opened and run by a young friendly Anglo-ecuadorian couple. It's located in Puerto Villamil on the south coast of Isla Isabela, the largest of the Galapagos Islands, and definitely the best place to stay ... if you'r looking for a big comfortable bed, free laundry service, a helpful British-speaking owner and a spectacular ocean view!
