We had a great stay. The bungalows are very nice, the location super relaxing, food a bit overpriced but ok, however the staff was very sweet!

After a trip among all the islands we had the opportunity to see a lot of hotels and resorts and we think our choice has been the best! Everything was fine and the staff is super kind, they helped us in many ways.

excellent place to relax and enjoy the beautiful caribean sea. the staff was very friendly and helpful. the resort is clean and functional, but don't expect luxury!

I wanted a quiet and beautiful get-away and that is exactly what I got at Ecohotel Isla Bela. The dinner for overnight guests was delicious and the staff was warm and helpful. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and respected.

Loved staying at Islabela! Staff was great and the accommodations were lovely. Highly recommend the Plankton swim -- that was such a special experience. Be sure to bring swim shoes, as the main beach is covered in coral and is really tough on your feet. I brought them and was fine, but my partner struggled. Also recommend bug spray for at night. The mosquitos ate us up pretty bad. Overall, had a lovely time.

This place was incredible! You are on a small private island off the coast of Isla Grande (bigger more touristy island). You get on a boat with fellow day travelers and if you book IslaBela Eco Hut, you will essentially have the island for yourselves once the day travelers leave. We loved our stay here so much! We did daytime snorkeling and also night time bioluminescent snorkeling booked through the hotel. There were also free paddleboards for you to use if you pay for the night stay at the hotel! The staff was very nice and accommodating :) Great stay and the hut itself was awesome!!

Cam

The location is beautiful. And once the day visitors leave, the place is calm and even more enjoyable. The snorkeling is amazing.The hotel employees and island residents are all very friendly and helpful. A shout out to Maria and her team! The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Since the island is in the Caribbean, it gets hot, so be prepared. And obviously, you have to travel there by boat, which costs extra. We stayed mid-week and did not experience the loud music from the big island. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would definitely return.

Octavio

United States of America

Alejandro, Casey and all the staff at Eco Hotel Isabela were absolutely amazing! Upon arrival you are greeted with a drink, and welcomed to lay back and relax. The fact that the number of visitors is limited, offers guest a unique experience to relax and enjoy the Carribean waters, with much tranquillity. If your looking to relax and enjoy an absolutely picturesque environment Eco Hotel Islabela offers just what you want.

Marivel

This was the BEST EVER! We LOVED our stay at islabela. We felt so catered to and the manager is an absolutely incredible host. We had our private cabana waiting for us when we arrived and our room was absolutely spectacular. We woke up to have coffee outside our room waiting for us. No hot water in the showers but this wasn’t a big deal. We went on a weekday so there was no issue with noise. The snorkeling was awesome and whoever said that the dogs are a nuisance has no soul :)

The beautiful hotel is located on a small island that has amazing private beaches of white sand and turquoise water. It is a perfect place to unwind and relax, surrounded by nature and very very nice hotel staff. Food was delicious as were the coctails : )

“Peaceful island getaway ”

During the day there were some day guest, which basically didn't bother us. Just on Saturday the boats in the lagoon were playing really loud music, but that's nothing the hotel can do anything about.
Everything was perfect! The staff was very friendly, the food and juices/lemonades were extremely good and while staying there you support the island community. Furthermore the boat team was very professional

Nothing, it's an eco resort and the description is pretty accurate
All of it, it's a little heaven. The staff is really nice, spending the night there is definitely a plus as you get to enjoy the beach with less people. The bungalows allow for intimacy and give a feeling of wildness and being alone, while being an easy and close walk to restaurant and main beach. Just loved our stay there! The playlist is also an amazing walk down memory lane around the world.

“Here's a place to get away from it all - noise, crowds, and pollution. It's so hard to leave!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The beach is a bit rocky at the start - just watch out. otherwise, everything was great.
Clean and incredible facility. It's small, feels less like a resort and more like a tiny village community. I couldn't believe some of the views and the perfect chill vibe this place evoked. Try out the snorkeling, take a kayak to Pablo Escobar's old house (do not go on the property, there are squatters), or get a massage for a great price. What a dream.

The music was playing all day long which was a little distracting. Even if I went to my hut there was a boat parked nearby blasting music. It’s not horribly laud but I came to work quietly and found it distracting. No wifi in huts, only on the main beach which through a lot of my work out of the window
Had my own hut with a private beach. Only a handful of people in the same hotel. Apart from the times when day tour people came (10-2) it was deserted and very quite which is what I wanted. Kayaked every day to different islands
