Pool and ocean/beach view (and hot tub + view) were fantastic with two young kids. Staff was very helpful. Was a little bummed about the shower situation after paying for a luxury room, but we also understood the desire to be good stewards of the water resources. Having fresh drinking water always available to fill water bottles was great.

The ocean access and local wildlife topped the experience - allowing for so many memorable and intimate moments! It’s called Iguana Crossing for a reason. The location and the beachfront view were impeccable. The location allowed for a more private and quiet stay away from the main centre / night life; while still being easily accessible and walkable. The ocean waves and privacy made for a dreamy ambience that provided the best white noise to sleep to! The staff were also friendly and the room was extra spacious and clean.

We traveled as a couple and booked the ocean view room. It is a very clean place and everything what is required for a relaxing stay is available. The room is huge and had more than enough space. Bed is very comfy. Balcony is literally in front of the ocean, hence it is easy to see sun rise and sun down. Hotel itself is located at the end of the towns main road with very limited traffic, no noise during day or night. Hotel crew is very friendly and offer a helping hand whenever required. Fresh water can be poured 24/7. Laundry service is excellent. Thanks a lot dear Iguana Crossing Team!

Nice pool and bar. The rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast was really terrible. There was limited choice and what was there looked and tasted less than average. The hotel has a restaurant but if you want to dine there, you have to order 3 hours in advance. There are plenty of other great places to eat on the island though.

The shower only stayed on for 3 seconds at a time, WiFi was poor and the laundry service lost my clothing with no offer to compensate me. The staff was inconsistent-some very helpful and some were rude. Dinner took an hour and a half to be served. The hotel and location were stunning but would not stay here again or recommend.

Iguana Crossing was a joy! The location is amazing; we had a view of the actual crossing from our room and enjoyed watching the iguanas on their path to/from the ocean. The staff was very helpful and the grounds were beautiful and clean. We will stay there again next time we're on the island!

This was a fantastic place to stay! We ended up booking this hotel extremely last minute due to no air conditioning in our previously booked hotel, and I’m so glad we did! It is a gorgeous hotel and the staff were all amazing! The pool overlooking the gorgeous blue water was the perfect ending to our day!

Unique and Exceptional

We loved our stay here. It is on the edge of the small town, but easily walkable to everything including a sunset bar that was awesome. I assume it was not coincidentally named Iguana Crossing, but it is literally located at a point where iguana after iguana cross the road. The views from our room and the pool were unbelievable and the wildlife that literally walks in the lobby is amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Great hotel in a magical island

This hotel is beautiful. Comfortable beds and amazing sea views. Food was good from the restaurant, just make sure to make a reservation the day before you plan on going. Location was good. Very quiet but only a few minute walk to stores and restaurants. Right next door to board walk that leads to tortoise breeding center. Pool was great to have after a hot day and sun beds were fantastic for relaxing.

Great hotel with wonderful staff!

A great place to stay with lovely and helpful staff. During the time of the tsunami alert, the staff made time to ensure we were kept safe and provided ample fruits and drink at their ranch. It was the personal touch the hotel provided such as a complementary night as no ferries were running from Isabela and taxi service to reassure us that no ferries were running. I had booked the sea view room with lovely views of the beach and various birds perching around. In addition, marine iguanas aplenty. Great place to stay in Isabela. Highly recommended! Let’s hope you don’t face a tsunami alert!
