We stayed at Villa Isabella for the entire month. It was clean, had friendly and helpful staff, and tasty breakfast. My whole family also enjoyed the pool, relaxed atmosphere, and delicious coffee. It is perfectly located for walking down to all the shops, restaurants, and of course, amazing San Juan sunsets. We felt well taken care and the staff was... More

I just returned home 3/18/2012. What a nice surprise and such warm hospitality, clean rooms, wonderful breakfast. An over all pleasant experience, the owner/manager a real hands on person, in total control of this delightful place. You may call him Mr. Mike. Thank you Sir for everything, your establiment shows your dedication. Martha More

We just visited San Juan del Sur as a family of 7. We stayed at the Hotel Villa Isabella and had an amazing stay. The staff bent over backyards to accomodate us and the made to order breakfasts were fantastico! Our 5 kids loved the small pool - just perfect for cooling off during the afternoon and the variety of... More

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... More

Stayed here 2/5 & 2/6. Walked in without reservation and got lucky - beautiful triple room for cheap. A/C worked fanstastic, place looked well cared for, toilets flushed paper, plenty of high power, hot water in shower. The also had coffee going 24/7, which I find as a big perk at 5am when I get up and otherwise can't easily... More

Spacious air conditioned rooms with large bathrooms and hot showers met our needs. Not exactly charming, but certainly adequate, and well kept, clean. The staff is accommodating and helpful. Centrally located near the San Juan del Sur church. Breakfast was average for Nicaragua, nothing special - fruit, eggs, reconstituted jiuce, weak coffee. We had a large double room at $75,... More

I'm from NY so I thought the prices were ridiculously cheap. You can definitely stay elsewhere for cheaper, but here you get a clean, safe (they even have a night watchman), comfortable room with a pool, mini fridge and the best pancakes I've ever had (seriously- you have to order the banana/chocolate). The breakfast is complimentary and you can have... More

This hotel is located on the corner of a block that overlooks the main church in town. Only a couple of blocks from main bars, restaurants, shops etc and about 4 blocks from the beach. American owner was really helpful and made every effort to make sure we were happy. Breakfast was included and a good standard. Free tea and... More

I have visited this hotel four times, since 2001. The last visit was in November 2011 and I will be coming back for sure. The hotel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, has big clean rooms with good bathrooms and the staff and American owner are very friendly and helpful. I like it especially because it is an excellent deal.... More

We will be back at the Villa Isabella for the fourth time in January. We love it here. Amazing breakfasts (thanks Mike) just lovely times lazing on the front porch in a hammock, great rooms (we stay in condo 1A). And the place is run by two humanitarians. Ask Jane, one of the owners, to tell you about all the... More
