Galapagos Islands
Albemarle Hotel
Albemarle Hotel is a luxurious family run hotel positioned just steps from a beautiful white sand beach near Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island. The hotel has a distinct Mediterranean architecture which blends well with its surrounds.
The rooms are simple but spacious and clean with air-conditioning, safety deposit box and TVs and most have views towards the beach or garden. Complimentary Wi-Fi available in reception and underwater cameras are available to rent. A buffet breakfast is served each morning, but other meals need to be taken at one of the local restaurants, which the friendly staff will happily recommend for you.
The hotel also features a rooftop terrace, ideal for watching sunsets with an evening drink, and there is also a small swimming pool and tropical garden with sun loungers.
The hotel’s location makes it an ideal base to explore Puerto Villamil and sites such as the Tintoreas Islands and its shark alley, the flamingo lake, the lava tunnels, Sierra Negra Volcano crater and the Concha de Perla natural swimming pool.

Having never been on a tailor-made holiday we were extremely impressed with how smoothly our holiday went and it made our honeymoon much more enjoyable not to have to worry about the transfers. However, what impressed us most about your company was the helpfulness before we booked. Jonathan Morris was extremely helpful and suggested what we could afford on our budget and sent us a sample itinerary. . .This contrasted with a few other companies we contacted who told us that we could not afford a tailor-made Galapagos trip and would not even discuss it further. We had many emails and telephone conversations with Jonathan and were extremely impressed with the information and assistance he gave us.
