Guest reviews for Royal Isabela

5 out of 5

Just what we were looking for

Pros: The staff, the privacy and comfort of the casitas, the feeling of having much of the resort to ourselves
Cons: Just a tweak on the dinner prep. Just below perfect. Great use of farm to table and locavore produce and fish.
Location: Accessible to Rincon and snorkeling, surfing and swimming. Coffee plantations a good day trip when open for tours.
This was our first stay at the Royal Isabela and first visit to Puerto Rico. Not only were the accommodations first rate, the staff were just the friendliest, most helpful and most diligent about making us feel comfortable and at home. The deck of our casita was a great place to let the hours just pass by with a magnificent view of the ocean with the breakers visible above the forest dropping below us. The sound of the waves and the numerous birds alighting on the all the vegetation surrounding our casita were the only noise we heard. The tennis court was beautiful -- cool and the sun screened just enough by the trees strategically placed around it. Walking on the back nine of the golf course early in the morning after clearing it with the pro was just breathtaking. The beach below the resort was easily accessible with a well-maintained stairway and pathway. It was two miles of beautiful sand with nary a soul in sight on most walks. We found a place to swim down by a rocky point that was protected. We had one of the best Valentine Day's dinner ever at the restaurant. Some of the other dinners we had were closer to an A- with some of the fish a bit over done. The continental breakfast every morning was perfect. Perhaps it was just the time of year that we visited the Northwest coast, but it was hard to find enough restaurants open in the early half of the week outside the resort, but there was always a table available there. Hoping to be able to return.
