The Albemarle’s old world charm and beachfront access to La Playa Isabela makes it an ideal location to enjoy the island’s striking beauty and tranquility. The staff is excellent - we particularly appreciated Olivia’s gracious assistance.

8.6/10 Excellent! (26 reviews)

Property was basic for my needs. My room was above communal area so you could hear talking and playing pool at night, so slightly in convenient if your up early for excursions. Request a room away from there and should be fine

9/10 Wonderful! (97 reviews)

We had a lovely night stay here. You’re on an island so some ants and bugs can be expected. This isn’t The Four Seasons so if you were looking for that you would be disappointed. What you will find staff willing to go above and beyond like Jonathan, who made our stay lovely. Love that you could just walk to the beach right behind the property. The peace and tranquillity you will find here is unmatched. I think this is the best place to stay on the island. We will definitely be returning.
