Villa Isabella is a warm, inviting small hotel with a helpful staff. Not only does Mike, the owner, make killer breakfasts (omelets, pancakes, scrambles, fresh fruit, 24 hour coffee and tea service...), he is a wealth of knowledge and attentive to guests and any problems that may arise. Our toilet was leaking and the hotel's very pleasant handyman, Javier, was... more

We were meant to spend 3 days here but ended up staying 8 days. OK, we loved San Juan generally, but Villa Isabella had a lot to do with it too!

We will return and although we could afford one of the higher end resort properties, we would... more

I agree with everything said in the prior emails. The staff is the selling point of this hotel, the breakfast is great, the coffee/tea available at all times, a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay here and felt completely welcomed, esp out on the front porch - that was a nice touch. My only comment to add is that... more

I have stayed at the Villa Isabella for the last 5 years as part of a medical mission group. Mike, Jane, Patricio, Roxanne, Juan - the whole group make it feel like home. The breakfasts are terrific and sustain us through the day. The veranda becomes the center of our world - to organize, visit, learn and relax. The hospitality... more
