Excellent Restaurant

“The food at Hotel Isabela was really good. Every meal was freshly prepared, and I particularly loved the breakfast options. The kitchen staff created a lively setting and even made homemade tortillas to order on a wood griddle, especially by Irmalinda Rodriguez de Jesus, which were simply the best.” view full review

We had a nice stay at this hotel which had a rustic charm, reminding me of an old motel. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. While the area was quite rural and not much to explore, it suited our whale watching trip perfectly. The on-site restaurant was excellent with delicious authentic dishes, though the breakfast selection was more typical of the U.S. Overall, it was a good value for what we paid, but we did encounter a few hiccups with hot water and Wi-Fi.
