How “Isla Bella” got it’s name:
We were sitting on the balcony on a sunny Sunday morning looking for a name for our new property. The sea was quiet, the waves were flat, with four shades of turquoise and blue extending out to the horizon. The beach was golden sand, just a free joggers and walkers, the crowds had not arrived yet. And my wife exclaimed “God, what a beautiful island!”. And we had our name. Beautiful island in Spanish is Isla Bella.

The security for the property was great, which even though it's in a great neighborhood, made us feel very comfortable letting our teen go down to the pool solo :) Location and view can't be beat. Amazing food right across the street. Spent a LOT of time on the balcony!

Found a great high rise building right on the beach access from the back of the property. Has pool and very clean place. Certainly would recommend the place for a great time not too far from San Juan
We enjoyed our stay immensely. Waking up to such an incredible view every morning made us actually want to wake up early. The onsite supervisor was quick to respond as well as the management company. If/when we return we would love to stay here again.
We stayed here during our sibs retreat. The view of the ocean was breathtaking as soon as we entered the condo, with easy access to pool, b-ball courts, and ocean. All essentials were provided including snacks and refreshments. There were plenty of places to eat on the same street. Would recommend.
Great view and access to the ocean and beach. Host was very respinsive and commun8cated quickly and was very kind. They even went as far as to have some fresh food in the refrigerator upon arrival.
We always stay in one of the Marbella del Caribe condos. We love the area. This property is very clean and comfortable. The hosts left a few groceries to welcome us. Location is the best on the island, you can walk to plenty of great restaurants and of course you are right on the beach and have a sweeping view of the entire beach. Buildings are extremely well maintained, I always feel safe and secure in this area of the island. Will always come back to Marbella to stay.
We had a good stay here. The location, check in process, facilities were great. Just walk in to the beach. Out apartment faced the ocean so was nice to sit in the balcony.
Everything in the apartment was good , just the bed linens and sofa were a bit worn so may need updating.
My friend and I had a great time on our first trip to Puerto Rico. This condo was basic but had everything we needed. The views from every room were truly spectacular, and the location couldn't be beat. An excellent beach is right outside the door, and shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Communication with the host was very good; they were quickly responsive to all our needs. The only complaints I have is that the ice machine didn't work and the sofa needed cleaning.
Unfortunately I was a unable to go due to my son in law death. But the rest of my family went and told me the apartment was very clean and beatiful view. They also liked the neighborhood.
Judith displayed remarkable hospitality, friendliness, and a willingness to address any inquiries. The location was outstanding. Going forward, a two-bedroom setup is my preferred choice for my son and me. There were an abundance of necessary provisions, and the beach view and beach access were flawless.
We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful apartment in Isla Verde! The view was absolutely breathtaking, and everything was spotless—every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. From the beach and home towels to the little welcome touches like bears, a bottle of rum, and coffee, we felt truly appreciated. My wife loved every bit of it!The building itself was clean and secure, with a 24-hour doorman and convenient parking that made coming and going super easy. The WiFi worked perfectly, which was a big plus. We came to Puerto Rico to celebrate our daughter’s 15th birthday, and staying here made the experience even more special.Communication with the host was excellent—they were always just a text away. Truly one of the best hosts and places we’ve ever stayed. We can’t stop talking about how amazing our time was here. Thank you so much for everything!
Our host was amazing. Communication was great. The only hard thing figuring out the parking garage. You can solve that problem by asking her when you rent the place via text when we got in there we discovered she had left bananas and the makings for sandwiches in the refrigerator along with pina colada and Coke and rum makings. The beach entrance is in the back and it was just beautiful ! It's right across the street from a walking's if you need anything and the pizza place on the corner is really really good. highly recommend this place. Thank you so much and it was a great way to start our vacation traveling around Puerto Rico.
Enjoyed our visit to this area. The condo fit our needs very well. Previous comments about dated furniture and linens were accurate. (need to be replaced) A nice bonus was to find a small amount of groceries and beverages in the refrigerator upon check in. The door wall was a bit noisy with the whistling of the wind coming through. The landscaping and grounds around the pool area was well kept and nicely maintained. We would definitely return.
Nice apartment in great location near airport, restaurants and short ride to Old San Juan. Apt was well stocked (thank you for the bread, eggs, cheese and milk!) and had a nice view of beach and water. There is some construction going on in the small building between the apt and the beach, so hammering etc from about 7:30 on each morning despite a supposed rule saying 8am (front desk said they had no control over it). The apt is perfect for up to 4 people, it would be tight to have more, with only 1 bathroom and a small living area.
The places as amazing with breathtaking views. My husband and I think the pictures don’t give this place justice. The facilities are great and everything is near by! We enjoy our trip. Please read the book they have, it tells you everything you need to know
This property was exactly as advertised. I will definitely book again. Great communication check in and check out was so easy. Great location, the apartment as well as the building was very clean. The food items left by the owner was so sweet. It was much appreciated especially since our flight arrived in the middle of the night. My overall experience with this unit and owner is a 10 out of 10. Definitely will be back
