Clean spacious room, hot shower, steps from beach and breakfast room with beautiful beach views, nearby beachfront restaurant 2 doors down was perfect to end the day. Quiet, kind staff. Would 100% recommend and stay again (stayed with our family that includes young children)

Great smaller hotel right on the beach. Rooftop terrace was great for morning or evening views. Easy walking distance from town. Staff was very helpful. We were a family with two teens and had the 2 bedroom family room which was great for some privacy. We loved this place and would definitely return. The island is beautiful and I would try to spend more time here if possible in your trip.

Wonderful two week stay at the Drake Inn while volunteering on the island. It is right across the street from a beautiful, quiet, and pristine section of the beach and steps away from the entrance to the trail to the Wall of Tears, and close to a variety of places to eat, shop, and hang (Pink Iguana bar!). Our rooms (the superior twin and double) were clean and nice with comfortable beds, fridges, and places to store our clothes. The hot water situation was decent (better than most places), the breakfast was simple but good, and the roof deck was hardly used by anyone else and was lovely (amazing views and a sun-heated jacuzzi). My one note is we could never figure out how to turn the AC off of auto and it would go on and off a lot in the early hours of the morning, which woke us up. Ear plugs helped.

Don't be fooled by the flattering high rating! The location is right on the sea front but a little out of town. It does have a rooftop terrace providing amazing views of the Pacific ocean. There is a utility room offering basic wash/dry facilities and a useful free water dispenser to fill up bottles for the day/night ahead. The double room that we stayed in was very small and basic and by far the smallest we stayed in during our trip. There were, only 2 power sockets in the room and neither were near the bed. There was no kettle, however, there was a fridge. The hotel rooms were far too close to each other and the acoustics were terrible - every door slam, toilet flush and conversation reverberated down the corridor. The hotel arranged a volcano walk tour for us and suggested an early breakfast before pick up. We duly arrived early the following morning only to be greeted by a locked breakfast room. We then had to wait for the miserable staff member to arrive and unlock the door. When they finally arrived, the breakfast had not been prepared and we subsequently had to forego it as our driver for the tour had arrived. No apology from the hotel was offered. One day we arrived 5 minutes late for another monotonous breakfast. However, the staff repeatedly told us us that it was too late to have any breakfast. There was no leeway on this, despite the fact that we had paid for breakfast. It really wouldn't have taken long to allow us to grab a coffee and bread roll as the hote

We loved our time at the Drake Inn. We spent four nights with our four and six-year-old. The location was perfect. 50 feet from the beach. The staff was really helpful. They provided sand toys and boogie boards for our kids to play with, helped us arrange travel, and even stored our bags for us and let us borrow their outdoor shower after our stay was completed. We'd definitely stay there again.

We loved the Drake. Rebekka was fabulous. Our room was available early. It was sparkling clean I loved being at the end of the strip. Literally right next door to the turtle sanctuary. The view from the 3rd floor was great. I traveled with my adult sons and had a 2 bedroom. It is extremely safe. Isabela was our favorite island

Rebecca greeted me at the door and for the next five evenings, she made me feel at home and gave me lots of advice for best activities and how to see the animals I wanted to see 💚 the breakfast was made to order eggs, fruit, granola, bread, and fresh juice and delicious! The views from the room either face the beach or the lagoon in the back where flamingos can be spotted. I will definitely stay again when I return to Isabella!

We moved this place, from its location right across the beach, to the decor and service. The place is spotless and the room’s decor and furnishing were top notch. Comfortable beds and the perfect view. Our room led to a mini jacuzzi and it was perfect for relaxing after a day full of tours and activities. Rebekka and the while staff were very kind, diligent and professional. I highly recommend this place. Worth the price.

While quite a basic, simple hotel, it was very clean and well run, comfortable beds and good quality linen. The manager, Rebekka, was great and had really good advice on restaurants and excursions.
