We stayed here at end of December with wife and two children ages 9 and 11. We stayed the the top floor of the apartment. Here are some highlights... read more of our stay.
1. Customer service was excellent. Email communication throughout the booking process and afterwards was so nice. Manany was so helpful with all questions.
2. The room was so nice and spacious. The out door balconies with hammocks my kids loved.
3. The walk into town about 10 min not bad at all. We did not encounter any dogs. We also rented bikes in town which was a very easy bike ride. The island is safe and so easy to bike around.
4. No ac takes some getting used to but the fans are excellent. If though you get hot easy, this may be an issue.
5. Mosquitos some nights but overall not a major issue. Mosquito plug in coils may be nice to provide.
6. Had some issues with ants first day but Manany quickly helped. She was always so helpful.

Overall excellent stay and service. I highly recommend. More

  Chez Manany is a beautiful, clean and thoughtfully designed apartment on Isabela. It is walking distance from the port and Concha de Perla, and walking (or biking) distance to Puerto... read more Villamil (our two children, aged 11 and 7, made the walk easily). Isabela was a great place to vacation as a family, as we were able to enjoy all the Galapagos "must sees" (e.g. marine iguanas, boobies, volcanos, snorkeling, tortoises) within walking distance. The kitchen was well supplied and made cooking our own meals easy. Manany is an incredibly helpful host, providing us with detailed information, helping to plan several day trips (Los Tuneles was amazing!), and helping us navigate last-minute COVID vaccination changes. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and will hopefully be back again soon! More

  Chez Manany is a beautiful eco-lodge with pride of ownership. Mariana is so helpful and lovely. She arranged our tours at a much lower price than you can find online... read more for a small fee (our savings was way more). I was a little worried about the distance from town, but our 6 and 8 year old boys had no problem walking and no bikes were necessary. The port was so close and convenient for our tours to Los Tuneles and Las Tintoreas (we just met them at the port instead of going to the office). Bottled water is now free with the room, and the rules are common sense and not at all hard to follow! Of course we want to preserve this organic, unusual, and diverse ecosystem of the Galapagos! If you want to really enjoy the beauty of Isabela in a sustainable and beautiful place, this is the place to stay!

If we ever visit the Galapagos again, Chez Manany will be the first place we book!
