Susan, Canada

Amazing location and view! We had a wonderful stay on Isla Isabela! Drake Inn was wonderful and served a delicious breakfast. Owner and staff were warm and welcoming. Thank you!

Christine, United States of America

The location of Drake Inn was great, right across the sandy road from the beach, and just down the street from the main area of Isla Isabela. The room was small, but very clean, and had lots of little hooks and shelves to stow things away. There was a comfy bed, hot water, and even A/C to enjoy after a sweaty day, no complaints! There was a simple breakfast every morning with eggs, toast, fresh juice, coffee and tea, and granola and milk, and had a great terrace on the top of the building to enjoy the views of the ocean. Ivan, the man who stayed on site and took care of things, was great, super helpful and accommodating.

Laura, United States of America

This place is really awesome - right across the beach, not in the middle of all the noise of the small town (just 5 min walk from it), super clean and taken care of. The manager allowed us to check in earlier since we arrived on the morning boat from Santa Cruz island, gave us advice on what and where to see things, and made very nice breakfasts... It's a beautiful and tranquil place to rest, relax and enjoy the stay on Isabela Island! We would stay there again!

Anna, United States of America

The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower was hot. Ivan, the gentleman who manages the hotel, is very friendly and helpful. He made our stay super pleasant.

The room seemed quite small and a bit moist. It was a bit hard to dry wet clothes.
This hotel has a very good location close to the beach and only a few 100 m from a local turtle reserve, the flamingo cove and a path which leads to a nature reserve. The staff does not really speak English but they are very friendly and helpful. We asked for a hair dryer and an umbrella and the staff made sure we got it. We had breakfast included which was pretty good. The location is quiet and there is only five minutes walk to the center of the town.

Amazing view of the beach from the terrace. The beach is literally across the road. Behind the hotel is a wetlands area where we saw flamingos just a few feet away. Staff very nice (limited English but that wasn’t a problem) and breakfast was decent. Air con in rooms works well.

“Wonderful stay in Puerto Villamil!”

We really enjoyed our stay at The Drake Inn. The hotel's location was great-towards the end of the main road that runs through Puerto Villamil, so it is within walking distance to all the shops restaurants and bars, but it is also far enough away to feel secluded. The view from the upper roof deck is stunning! My husband and I loved sitting up there at night, watching the waves and sunset. The rooms were clean, comfortable and nicely decorated and the AC was perfect for cooling down after beach or biking activities. Breakfast was good - our favorite out of the three hotels we visited in the Galapagos! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend The Drake Inn if you are planning a visit to Isabela Island!

Adorable boutique hotel just a few steps from the beach - you can't beat the location. We loved the pirate decor and relaxed atmosphere and spent time lounging on the rooftop balcony. The host Ivan was super friendly and helpful. He prepared eggs, fresh juice and bread every morning. The rooms were comfortable and clean with good water pressure and AC. It's also a very short walk to a nature trail. Excellent hotel for the value.

Water not provided so we had to buy bottled water. This is our only complaint as this is so bad for the environment and goes against the stated ban of plastic bottles at airport flying into Galápagos. Other places we stayed (Santa Cruz and mainland Ecuador) all provided drinking water from refillable plastic jugs. We hope Drake Inn will consider this. Fresh fruit not provided at breakfast but fortunately for us an Ecuadorian family staying at the inn bought fruit and local cheese and bread to share with other guests.
Location and view of beachfront from main floor and second floor patio. Stunning!

A couple of quirks. i.e. fiddly door locks, only one key to the suite, hot tap not working at wash basin. All in all would highly recommend for a stay in Puerto Villamill.
Excellent breakfast. Great location right across from the beach. Great terrace overlooking the beach.

This place was vastly over-priced. First, the promised ocean view was not delivered. Let’s put it this way: If you were 6 foot 4 or better, you could look out the window and, through a gap in the corrugated roofs of the neighboring buildings, see a tiny sliver of the harbor. Second, we had warm water for just one of four showers. Third, the air conditioner made incessant noise. This problem was only alleviated by wearing noise-canceling headphones to bed. Fourth, there was no drinking water for the guests. Our friends and relatives staying elsewhere in town for maybe half the price were supplied with drinking water. How difficult is it to put a couple of bottles of water in the room each day? How about a coffee maker or small refrigerator? We had neither. I will give the hotel high marks for cleanliness, beach access, and location. They say in the real estate business location is everything. In The Drake’s case, it was just about the only thing. For over $100 per night, no matter where you are in the world, you should expect far more from a hotel than what we got.
The location and the beach.
