This place was awesome. The rooms were lovely, not what I thought I was going to get for the price. Emile was the best host I've ever had, so helpful. Helped us book tours and gave us great advice. There's a bar which is a great place to meet people. The view in itself was stunning. Being the last house... More

I stayed at Casa Rosada for three nights while on Isabella. Isabella is a lot smaller than Santa Cruz and I was expecting the hotels to be worse than Santa Cruz....and I was wrong. Casa Rosada was better than any hotel I stayed in on Santa Cruz and cheaper! The hotel was clean, the rooms were comfy and the staff... More

My friend and I planned on spending a couple of days on Isabela, relaxing, surfing and seeing a couple of tours before our money ran out and we'd have to return to Santa Cruz. We ended up staying almost 6days. Emile was the best host we could possibly ask for, so welcoming and kind and hard-working. She made sure we... More

You have to stay there if you go to Isabela, because you have to meet Emilie who manage this place. She gave us all information we needed when we arrived before we asked anything. Surf lessons are perfect there if you are a beginner. We stayed 2 nights and wanted to stay more, but there was no more avalaibility. Emilie... More

Caleta Iguana (Casa Rosada) is located in Puerto Villamil- Isabela, the most beautiful island in the Galapagos.

It is the last house on the beach in the best location possible with the most amazing views and sunsets, just inches from the ocean and 3 minutes away from the town shops and restaurants (walking). There are many social areas, one with an LCD television, lounge, and a large collection of DVD´s, a book exchange library, and board games.

Outside, towards the beach we have a terrace with a Grill and BBQ area with tables, chairs, hammocks in the mangrove trees and the ocean just a few feet away! You will be able to observe hundreds of Marine Iguanas that chose Caleta Iguana as their refuge. You will see many guides with groups taking pictures of all the iguanas we have living here, including “Tyson” one of the biggest and oldest around… On the second floor you will find a huge sun-deck with hammocks and reclining chairs. From here you can enjoy some of the best views of long white sand beach and unforgettable sunsets. This is the best place to enjoy the wonderful views, sunsets and Galapagos wildlife. ... more   less
