My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights while in SJDS. The location was just a few blocks from main strip which is a good thing because it was a nice & quiet location. The owner, Mike was nice and helpful. The rooms are nice, charming and clean. Also, we met some girls during a power outage and the... More

The beds are comfortable, the breakfasts are delicious, the coffee is always hot, and the location is convenient. Hot water showers and AC are a plus! Sitting on the veranda, watching the world go by is recommended.

We stayed here for the second time and it was nice and clean with a decent location. Plenty of movies to choose from, a small but refreshing swimming pool and a hearty breakfast (great pancakes) There is also airconditioning and hot water for a great value. Will be back!

Stayed there for a couple of days. Decent and clean rooms, very good bathrooms and AC, and good but ordinary breakfast. Owner and extended family are very nice and helpful if you have questions. The hotel has a little swimming pool and common areas to hang out or just to relax in a hammock. This is not a party hotel... More

Walking through the streets of San Juan del Sur can feel like going through one big surfing/NGO frat party. Villa Isabella is a wonderful respite, set back just enough from all the action, by about two to three blocks. The owners, Mike and Jane, were wonderful hosts. Knowing we had a small child, they set us up in Room 7,... More

This was one of several return visits and I again found Villa Isabella to be clean, comfortable, and completely enjoyable. With air conditioning and real two-valve hot water (not to be taken for granted in this region) this was about the first, and remains one of the best choices for US-level comfort and security in the area. Best of all... More

The Hotel is owned by a Californian who spends lots of time at the hotel and is a great source of knowledge on nearly restaurants, beaches, tours and general info on Nicaragua. The rooms are clean and spacious and quiet. The inclusive breakfast is American style filling and tasty and the service is excellent. The hotel has Wi-fi and a... More

We stayed at Villa Isabella just for one night, cause on the next day my girlfriend get bit by bit more bites on both legs. First we thought it were just normal mosquito bites but then my girlfriend found a bedbug in the bathroom, then we started to find more indicates for those bugs and we found the bugs poo... More

Forget anything negative you've read about Mike being a jerk, because for us, that certainly was not the case. We loved him, just like the hotel. After a crappy night in another highly ranked "hotel" (who shall remain nameless), this was just what the doctor ordered. Great, clean rooms, nice refreshing pool, delicious breakfast and way friendly staff, we almost... More
