Rating: Mid-range
Located right on the beach in the centre of the small town of Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island, the Hotel Albemarle provides an ideal place to enjoy the natural splendour of the Galapagos Islands in comfort. Each of the 8 rooms is equipped with cable TV and air-conditioning, and each has a private balcony with spectacular sea views. The Restaurant Albermale within the hotel serves excellent seafood, and room services and picnic lunches are also available.
The Hotel Albemarle is ideally positioned to explore the many sights of Isabela, and the hotel staff can help organise tours. Snorkelling equipment and kayaks can be hired from the hotel, and just a short walk or boat ride from the hotel you can see giant tortoises been reared and snorkel with penguins and sharks. Longer tours can take you on foot or horseback to Sierra Negra Volcano, the second largest volcanic crater in the world, and by boat to nearby islands. A newly opened dive centre also offer Scuba diving trips around Isabela.
