    My wife and I have stayed at Villa Isabella several times and have just booked a stay for Christmas week this year. The rooms are clean and comfortable, airconditioned, and with hot water showers. The breakfast choices are all excellent and coffee/tea are always available. Its safe and secure and the entire staff are very helpful and welcoming. The front porch is the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee or the "after surf" cold beer.

    My wife and I stayed at Hotel Isabella for two weeks in May, Mike and his staff make you feel like one of the family. The rooms are very nice, coffee is always on and the breakfast included is delicious. The front porch has hammocks and rocking chairs to enjoy! We love it there. Lou and Cindy Strom

    My sixteen year old son and I just returned from San Juan Del Sur and Hotel Villa Isabella. Are expectations were well surpassed. We loved every minute of our stay and we both were reluctant to go home. The food and staff were tremendous. I thought I might loose so weight while in Nicaragua, but I was completely wrong due to Roxanne's amazing cooking. The staff was so friendly and courteous and Jane truly has a heart of gold. Joel W

    Great location!

    March 02, 2012

    Very nice B&B. Excellent breakfast choices. 24/7 coffee. Clean, good-sized rooms, comfy beds, hot water, AC, small refrigerator, quiet location. Close to the beach and restaurant/bar row. Mike, the owner, is energetic and goes out of his way to be sure his guests are well taken care of. Jane was very helpful in booking our next hotel and guide (Willmore Rueda) on Ometepe Island -- thank you, Jane! Would definitely stay here again.

    WOW!

    February 05, 2010

    My husband and I are hard sells. We've been to Nicaragua several times and always went to the same secluded spot and same hotel because of the exceptional service and quality we found there. This trip we decided to head to San Juan del Sur and visited Hotel Villa Isabella. Mike and the staff way exceeded our expectations and we were blown away at the comfortable, relaxing atmosphere at the Isabella. We have three children and they did not want to leave! The selection of videos in both DVD's and VHS was amazing- like a video store right there and each room has a DVD/VHS player. The pool was wonderful and private, as well as well-shaded. The front porch area was perfect for morning coffee and quiet time and the hammocks are super comfy! The breakfast was one of the best we've ever been treated to! STUNNING! The hotel is about 4 blocks from the beach- just down from the central market and off of the center of town. Perfect location. Mike does a fabulous job of making guests feel at home. The hotel is secure and cozy for couples but yet great for families as well! We would highly recommend that you spend time with Mike and the staff very soon!!!!

    Gracious and welcoming

    March 08, 2009

    Jane and Mike, the owners of Villa Isabella, could not have been warmer and kinder to us during our stay for a few short days in February. Such a warm welcome for weary travelers. A few blocks from the ain drag by the beach of SJDS, this little place is a gem, away from the noise, with rockers and hammocks on a porch kept cool by the shading trees and plants. The staff is wonderful here, ready and willing to help out in anyway they felt they are needed. Highly recommended!
