“Amazing stay! The location is perfect—quiet, by the ocean, and just a short walk to restaurants and tour spots. The service was great, and I especially loved the terrace and porch. It had such a cozy, homey feel, like being at your own island home.”

“The location and front porch were amazing. The room was small but clean. We enjoyed the "homey" atmosphere of the hotel and it had a very casual vibe. We watched the sunset from the porch and the upper balcony.”

“The location was a little out of town so it was very peaceful. And very close to the beach as well. I liked the purified water in the room which isn't often standard but it a nice plus.”

Property info

The Drake Inn is a family owned small Inn and one of our most attractive features are our many terraces overlooking the Isabela Bay and the Galapagos National Park. We are located at the end of the small town of Puerto Villamil where it is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Being in front of the beach gives one the solitude where one can commune with nature but remain close to all the amenities of the town. A few yards down the road is the entrance to the Giant Tortoise breeding center which is the largest of its kind in the world

Neighborhood info

Upon exiting the Inn and turning right one can walk for miles along a white wide sandy beach with only the wild life and endemic flora and fauna for company. If one exits left, there are several restaurants and beach bars to provide you with a nice meal or drink.
