We came to celebrate our anniversary because we love all about this enchanting place !! The views, the tranquility, the atmosphere, the friendly personnel, the cleanliness, the service, the creative and outstanding food in Jota Restaurant!! It’s probably not your everyday hangout place, money wise but so worth it!

For the money you would expect a luxury stay, the location is amazing, great views, but the rooms were run down, the plumbing did not function properly, the walking paths were over grown, it just seemed like a hotel on tight budget or going out of business,

We absolutely loved this property. If you are looking for a quite getaway in a lovely, clean and charming casita with a lounge and private patio with pool, this is a must! Great food and cocktails in the restaurant. Amazing views over golf course/jungle to the ocean. 10/10

The casita layout and amenities were nice. Every meal we had at the restaurant was wonderful but be sure that you have time for a leisurely paced meal. We had a fun lesson with the golf pro. The walking trail to the beach was nice. It is true that the casitas have noticeable wear and tear but that had minimal impact on our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great place for a peaceful and private vacation.

Relax, quiet

Absolutely has the bones to be nice resort but was extremely run down. Just about everything in our room was broken or poorly kept. I called to have the lock on our door fixed and no one ever showed up. The pool was broken-along with half the shower. I could go on but it’s not necessary. Restaurant service was lacking. Breakfast took over 2 hours each time- the food was great though. The other staff was accommodating but it’s disappointing because the grounds and buildings have the potential. Overall, not worth what they are trying to charge- if I had to guess it’s under new management.

Excellent!!!

Falls short of the 5 star it claims to have. Although service and accommodations adequate, it is in no way at 5 star levels.

Paradise in Paradise. Spectacular resort nestled amongst the mountains of Isabella, Puerto Rico. The casitas have thought of every amenity to ensure a peaceful, luxurious stay. The walkout shower overlooking the ocean and flora is breathtaking as is the individual plunge pool. Spacious room provides privacy and luxury. Restaurant is delicious but you cannot be rushed as service can be slow but worth the wait. Beach is 170 steps down a cliff but neighboring Jobos beach is worth the trip - surfers paradise with lots of restaurants/bars. Royal Isabela is for those that value quiet, luxury and a slower pace. I would not recommend for children as the resort is not set up for young ones and boredom will kick in disrupting the tranquility of those around them. Beautiful pools, great tennis courts and outstanding golf course. Security is very tight to ensure guest’s privacy. Pro’s - EVERYTHING THIS RESORT OFFERS, Cons/Suggestions - linen could use a refresh. Special mention for concierge workers and Manuel the bell hop and golf cart driver - they provided exceptional service. Lastly, I highly recommend renting a car as car service is costly and difficult to obtain and Uber is practically non-existent. Royal Isabela and its staff provided the most memorable birthday celebration of my life! We will be back, thank you for providing a memorable experience.

Great scenery, wonderful food, very pleasant staff, somewhat remote. There is no beach to use. Property desperately needs investment. Beautiful golf course but POORLY maintained. Real golfers will be disappointed Rooms are nice but not receiving needed maintenance. Fixtures broken, amenities unavailable. Could be spectacular. Wait to see what new owners do.

Superb!

Gorgeous quiet retreat. Would definitely go there again.

Honeymoon getaway, didn't want to leave.

Total privacy wanted and I can't believe this hidden treasure I found in my town of Isabela. I don't know any one who experienced this beauty. I would definitely come back and enjoy this experience again. The staff, food, privacy, nature scenery and oceanic view make it all everlasting experience...

Watchful from top of hill the sunset left an inner beauty and glow I'll treasure for a lifetime. The time spent was worth it, regardless was a bit on the expensive. The total privacy and isolation from busy hotels made it super special and welcoming for any couples' wanting a lone time and get away just to relax... I give rating of ***** (5 stars). I would love to return to this hidden oyster... and sail away with the hillside sun... August 29,2017. -Minerva A. Garcia, New York City

The only chnage I would make is having better access to the beach. It was a fun and adventurous walk, but I wish the hotel made it easier to guests to get to the beach on their own and without any extra fee.

My husband had always dreamed of visiting this hotel and i decided to surprise him on our Anniversary. It was just stunning. Felt like royalty. Our in room tub with shower and doors that led to outdoor private jacuzzi with an oceanview. Total relaxation. Delicious dinner at restaurant in premises. And last but not least a bottle of champagne and snacks as a gift for our anniversary from hotel management! What else can we ask for.

The most beautiful place I ever been. Great service and can't forget the great food

My experience at the Isabella was amazing. The room was perfect. Great size "casita" with your own deck, pool & area. The hotel is gated off & has security which lets you in or out, so it's definitely safe. The gym has great equipment. The restaurant has really good food. Nice pool area. Rooms & everything was very clean & well maintained. My only complaint was one night we came back to a HUGE beetle by our bathroom sink. Not sure where it came from, or how it got there but other than that my stay was great.

An amazing and relaxing place to stay!!!! U literally feel like royalty!!!

This resort was top notch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it whole-heartedly. The staff was fantastic and the on-site restaurant was amazing! We would definitely go back.

Spectacular it was beautiful views quite and quaint .

Solid 4 star hotel, beautiful property and very quiet surrounding from our casitas. Lack of luxury feel for the furniture, bed and bedding. Lack of food choices and breakfast was not much of a continental since there were basically only some bread and fruit and cheese. No eggs, you can order but it will be charge. A sense of over promises and under deliver, our friends casita doors to the pool was stuck they said will get fix while we were out to eat, never got fix... Said there were slippers included in our room, I called for it and it never came. Only one restaurant on the property, food was decent. So beside the quiet and beautiful view from our room not much else was there and service was also just decent for the hotel class.

Excellent peaceful retreat with excellent location the restaurant food the best

The staff was warm, and welcoming. The casitas were clean, comfortable and private. There was nothing the staff wasn't willing to help us find. They were knowledgeable about the surrounding area, and were able to guide us to enjoyable experiences on and off the resort. They treated us as if they had known us for years, rather than with polite separation.

We had the most fantastic time! My husband, 6-yr old son and I stayed at Royal Isabela after reading that the resort was primarily for couples. We loved the idea of having a plung pool right outside of our casa! And it didn't disappoint! Each day, we used the plung pool for a few hours. Each day, we used elements of the resort, and our son LOVED it! The employees were friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. At many times, we felt like we had the entire resort all to ourselves. We loved the experience and look forward to returning!

Royal Isabela is a great and huge ocean front golf resort with friendly staff. It is ideal for people who would appreciate a quite vacation with amazing ocean view and golf oriented place to stay. It is pretty private and safe with only 20 villas and gated security. It is located at north west of Puerto Rico which means you have to rent a car for transportation. The resort could consider to have more dining and entertaining options for there is only one restaurant and a bar on site.

So good. Well worth it!

Great place fo couples!!

Outstanding resort!!! Beautyfull scenery and peacefull environement...

Booked this place by accident, it looks like you are in Ireland, but has caribbean weather. Gold course is amazing with ocean cliff views. The rooms called casitas(little house) are one of the best I have ever stayed in. Huge bed, huge bathroom area and your own very private deck with a pool !!!
