This is a beautiful two story hotel right on the sand, open and light, and had security cameras in public areas (which was comforting even though we never felt them necessary). It is close to everything (central market area, restaurants, beach bars) and highly walkable to elsewhere, but on the quiet side of island which was nice for sleeping. Reception always had someone available and helpful when we needed them and Nathalia even assisted us with a tour snafu that was not her fault/problem. Very clean and comfortable with really strong wifi, amazing rainfall shower with hotel-branded toiletries, AC unit in room, towels provided for the beach, and there was filtered water available in the lobby. There was a free and delicious breakfast with different specials each day (yogurt, granola, donuts, banana pancakes, plantains, bacon, made to order eggs/omelettes, waffles, fruit, fresh juices, variety of bread, and more) on the second floor beach patio. We saw other guests at breakfast each day but felt like the only ones there otherwise. I will say that we wished we’d splurged on an ocean-front room once we saw the beautiful beach! Lots of marine iguanas everywhere, rays, and some sharks visible from the shore. Highly recommend staying here, we would have loved to have moved in forever!

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

Very nice hotel right on the beach, and in an excellent area. I've been on famous beaches in Florida, California, Hawaii, France, and Italy. This has been my favorite. The white-sand beach is gradual. The water temperature is perfect. And the marine iguanas are amazing. Breakfast was good, too. Eggs made too taste and other hot foods (e.g., French toast). This hotel earns five stars, plus, from me.

Fantastic view! People were very nice and were glad to help when you had questions. It is close to everything but just far enough away so as not to be right in the middle of everything. Rooms weren’t huge but had what you needed. The bed was comfortable. It would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room but they did install a beer and beverage fridge in the lobby on the second last day of our stay. The hotel is quite small so noise is not a problem. The breakfast in the morning is on a rooftop deck and was very good. This was a great place to spend 4 nights.

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!

This hotel has a great location and view. The Staff are very friendly and provide a great service. The only reason I will give this hotel 1 star is because everything is great as long as you don't have any issues, concerns or emergencies (like in my case). I paid for 4 nights, however, I had a family emergency and I needed to leave the island on the third night. I requested to see if I could get a refund for the night/day I wasn't going to stay (28 hrs in advance), but the Manager (Michelle, who doesn't even live in the island) declined it because I needed to give them a 72 hrs notice. Well, I wish my family emergency would also give me a 72 hrs notice so I can plan my life accordingly. The hotel wasn't even full, maybe 3 or 4 more rooms were full, so I'm guessing they simply didn't want to give me a refund because they didn't want to loose money. We left and I will not recommend this place because they are not willing to help during difficult times.

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.

Great hotel filled with great people
Cormorant Beach House was a welcoming shelter against the elements and a stark contrast to the bare infrastructure of the island. The hotel rooms are either directly facing the beach or if you’re on the second floor, it’s literally on the beach. The ocean view was absolutely gorgeous and the beach was not crowded at all. We loved going up to the rooftop terrace to enjoy breakfast. Hats off to the chef and his assistance for preparing our delicious breakfast and making us feel like we’re home. The view was also incredible. Stalin, at the front desk, is super friendly and helpful. He provided great restaurant recommendations. He also lent me his very own jacket for a few hours for dinner because mine got soaked. He offered to wash and dry my jacket and return it after dinner. I was beyond grateful for his kindness. Last, but not least, he helped us get a late checkout so that we could enjoy our hotel room and wait for the afternoon boat ride. It’s truly the people that made our stay amazing. Thank you very much!
