Hostal Punta Arena  

In laid-back Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island — a short stroll to Galápagos National Park and roughly 500 m (about an 8-minute walk) from Puerto Villamil Beach. A pet-friendly guesthouse tucked close to the pier and Concha de Perla nature spots.

Small, simple and friendly with garden views and four air-conditioned guestrooms. Expect communal comforts: a shared kitchen, a TV in the common area, picnic and barbecue spots, and bathrooms with showers plus complimentary toiletries.

Garden and picnic areas, BBQ grills, a swimming pool and free on-site self parking. Concierge and a 24-hour front desk help arrange tours and excursions. Express check-in/out, a computer station and laundry services keep things easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk straight into island life.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a guest computer station for quick work or trip planning.

Continental breakfasts are served daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM for a fee. There’s an on-site restaurant plus a communal kitchen where you can cook your own meals after scouting the local markets.
