The guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The hotel Gran Tortuga on Isabelle Island was good and they were very helpful about everything. The hotel Peregrina on Santa Cruz had very helpful staff however they lacked organization on our reservation and room. The maintenance of the hotel is not very good as there were numerous small problems with our first room and when we passed through on the return trip we ended up with a room that the AC didn't work this was due both to the lack of maintenance and the disorganization with our reservation and they didn't hold our original reservation and instead gave our room to somebody that just walked in without a reservation. Margo was great to communicate with and resolved any small issues we had.Show more
