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.

This place is gorgeous! The view and how close the beach is, literally steps away is amazing. The host was in touch throughout the stay making sure things were going great. The place has everything you need to chill at the beach. There's restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies at walking distances or a car drive minutes away. I recommend this place 1000/10.

My two daughters and I stayed at this fantastic condo recently for 4 nights. It was everything we wanted with a beautiful ocean view from the balcony and from the bedroom windows. The hosts were great and left us food in the fridge, coffee, eggs, bread, cheese, orange juice and more. They answered every question we had quickly and went out of their way to accommodate our flight schedules. It is right on a beautiful beach and has a nice big pool. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Puerto Rico.

Place was very clean, with easy check in and great communication. They had extra amenities (coffee, sunscreen, beverages), which was a nice surprise and felt welcoming. Air conditioning worked very well. It is right off the beach, so very easy to get down there. Within walking distance to a Walgreens and restaurants. Pool looked very nice (though we spent most of our time at the beach). Area and building felt safe and secure. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent location

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.

Little Condo with a Big View

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.
