Awesome Place to Stay
This hotel was in a great location on the beach. We walked out of our room right onto the beach and close to everything. We had the cutest sea lion that has been living alone at the hotel that is so adorable. Nice breakfast on the rooftop is nice. The hotel is very clean and beds were so comfy and the air conditioning is very good.

A beautiful hotel right on the beach. We were able to upgrade to a walk-out room when we arrived and we were so glad we did. The bed was very comfortable and linens pristine. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the roof top breakfast was wonderful in the mornings. Not to mention the breathtaking beach right outside your door. I would highly recommend and definitely visit again!

Great hotel right on the beach
Lovely location right on the beach. Also only 2 minutes walk to the restaurants in the town. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the rooftop cafe is fantastic. Just a really nice little hotel for the price point.

Amazing
The hotel is literally on the beach with an amazing view. Rooms are spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Free coffee and filtered water in the lobby were a nice little bonus. Staff were super attentive and their recommendations were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Nice property right on the beach. Friendly staff who were helpful with recommendations. Rooms were small but sufficient for our needs. Breakfast each morning was good and there was something different offered in addition to eggs which was nice.

Very clean, spacious rooms appearing to be recently renovated with gorgeous view and ability to hear the ocean. Felt like paradise. Had amenities such as toiletries and hair dryer. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, able to have laundry washed for us for a small fee. Breakfast was great with fresh fruit, various breads, meats and eggs cooked to order. We enjoyed sitting outside on the beach under the umbrellas. Only complaint was 2 episodes of no water for flushing toilets, washing face or showering at night. Likely a water pressure issue uncontrollable by the hotel but thought it should be mentioned. It was a minor inconvenience. Overall we loved our stay here.

Beautiful place on Isabela
I had a short but sweet stay here. This hotel was a base for my multiple tours in Isabela. The breakfast and the ladies who served/cooked it were lovely. My room was spacious and had nice toiletries. And when I had to leave early for a 6 am ferry, the front desk (Jose) very kindly packed up a breakfast for me, which was much appreciated

An amazing place to stay in Isabella
I cannot recommend the Cormorant and it’s amazing stuff enough! Not only did they make our stay unforgettable, not only did they go above and beyond to allow us to refresh after a long day (even after we had checked out) but they have the best breakfast in the Galapagos!

The hotel has an amazing location right on the beach. Rooms are spotlessly maintained. A lovely breakfast is served on the rooftop (soon to be a cafe/bar). Lovely staff. All in all a fantastic stay!

Fantastic property - absolute beach front. Walk out if reception onto a beautiful beach. Great room right in beach, clean, friendly and very helpful staff. Looked at other beachfront properties during stay and none had the absolute beach frontage of Cormorant. Cannot recommend enough- best spot on Isabella and hotel lovely

Small boutique hotel right on the beach. The rooms were nice, with balcony or patio to sit on, small but comfortable bathroom. We had a beach view room and we loved it. They just opened their rooftop for breakfast and sofas to sit, with great views of the ocean and the area. Everyone was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The town is small and peaceful.

This is a beautifully designed small hotel which fits the beach town its in perfectly. The only downside for us was that due to an internet glitch we had to take a room at the front of the building next to a rooster that started crowing at 2:30am and didnt quit at all, so we checked into a very similar hotel nearby which put us right on the beach, without any roosters for $30 a night cheaper.

We loved the Cormorant Beach House! Our room with balcony was so comfortable, and we really enjoyed reading on the balcony. The staff is amazing. Front desk even offered us a late check out until our flight. The ladies at breakfast were also friendly and accommodating. If there was a score greater than “Excellent” Cormorant Beach House would get it!
