great breakfast, really nice hosts, amazing location- can’t do better - they have a bar too ❤️

Lane United States of America

The room was small but cute and comfortable. The breakfast was great and the hosts were really nice and helpful (helped us book a tour and ordered a cab for us to get us back to the port)! Great stay, can only recommend!!!

Delia Switzerland

The location was excellent, just far enough out of the main town so that it was very quiet, but it was very easy to walk into town. It was also right across the street from a great beach! It felt very safe. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Owners Carlos and Anne were prompt and helpful answering questions prior to our arrival. They gave us good recommendations for tours and bike rentals. Ivan was always very helpful with whatever we needed. He cooked our eggs to order each morning. Rebecca was also super friendly and helpful. We stayed here for a full week after our cruise and a stay on Santa Cruz.

Kitty United States of America

Carlos, Ann, Ivan and Rebecca were exceptional hosts. The rooms were very clean and the A/C was great and very quiet. The beach location is unbeatable and the rooftop area was great!

Douglas Bolivia

The hotel is right across from a beautiful beach. It's a lovely little Inn, small but cozy. The staff are very helpful. It's near a wetlands walk with usually a few lovely flamingos. Loved the view from the rooftop deck

Carolyn United States of America

This place is incredible! Perfect location, all of the staff were incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Great recommendations and they were able to accommodate early breakfast for a day trip. We were definitely sad to leave!

Kiersten United States of America

Rebecca and Ivan practically anticipated our needs and treated us like we were old friends! We loved the rooftop area that gave a 360 degree view of the coast and a perfect spot to photograph the lunar eclipse that occurred while we were there.

Gavin United States of America

The owners and staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We enjoyed getting to know them!

Adrienne United States of America

Location was perfect, across the beach, Carlos and Ivan were really helpful with tips and advices about tours and places to go, really nice experience, looking forward to going back to Isabela

The Owners, Carlos and Ann
The Drake Inn is a family owned small Inn and one of our most attractive features is the top veranda that overlooks the Isabela Bay and the Galapagos National Park. We are located at the end of the small town of Puerto Villamil where it is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Being in front of the beach gives one the solitude where one can commune with nature but remain close to all the amenities of the town. A few yards down the road is the entrance to the Giant Tortoise breeding center which is the largest of its kind in the world
We are a husband and wife team that strives to give our guests a personalized service so that you can experience the ultimate Galapagos experience
Upon exiting the Inn and turning right one can walk for miles along a white wide sandy beach with only the wild life and endemic flora and fauna for company. If one exits left, there are several restaurants and beach bars to provide you with a nice meal or drink.
