This review is a bit late but here goes. Once again I was welcomed back to Villa Tropical by Trevor and Jennifer to their wonderful place in paradise...this year I was there for a little over 3 weeks.from January 15th 2020 until February 7th 2020 . This hotel has an apartment like set up. This year i spent 2 nights is a one bedroom beautiful apartment with lots of privacy . I was traveling alone this year and after 2 nights of privacy I asked to be moved to a different apartment on Shacks beach . This was apartment TR. In this building there is a shared large deck and was much more fun for me.. At this apartment I saw over 7 Hump Back wales from the deck. This is a great building to watch surfers and kite surfers flying high in the are. These kite surfers are ultra friendly . If you stay at Villa Tropical don't be shy to strike up a conversation with them. The beach has a very well protected area for families with young children. I have visited Puerto Rico for 7 years now. It would have been 8 years but I didn't stay right after Katrina hit the island. After my many visits to PR I was so happy to discover Villa Tropical...Don't waste your time of money searching for a better vacation rental it won't be found. Jennifer and Trevor will make you feel right at home. The maids and handy man are ready to serve you as if you where a guest in their home.…

My family spent Christmas week in Isabela, PR. We stayed in 2 2 bedroom units in the main building and we also had a unit in the Q building. The accomendations were wonderful. Nothing like being steps away from the beach. We started everyday with breakfast on the deck and finished every night with fireworks on the beach. The kitchens had what I needed to make Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas dinner. Trevor and the staff are great to work with. This was are third trip to Villa Tropical. Will be back again!

The apartments sit right on the beach. Beach is more rock than sand so you have to get past the initial beach in some places but once in the water wow. To the west of the apartments is 5 miles of native beach and jungle. No houses etc. we go several times a year and stay here. Blue hole dive site right on beach.

Had a great stay at Trevor’s place. Was in the main building with direct oceanfront access, Apartment B1 had everything I needed and the view was amazing! A short walk to Ola Lolas for meals and I didn’t need to leave Shacks Beach all weekend. I’ll bring the family next time. Highly recommended, thanks for the referral Woody!

Our family loved the apartment. They gave us a two bedroom with spacious living area and kitchen. The outside deck had a bbq and picnic table facing the ocean. I didn’t realize we should bring food supplies but we ventured off the property for food anyway and that was good. The drive there from Aguadilla was short and kind of felt like a treasure hunt. We would definitely like to go back and bring more family. Beach access was awesome. The waves were visible and audible but not to powerful when in the water.
