We were given a price over the phone for a condo for a week, spoke with Mike the owner he confirmed the price and that breakfast was included. Then when we got there the price changed. I asked to speak to Mike and he pretended to act as if he was an employee as if pictures of him are not... more

A really great hotel! Good location just slightly off the hustle & bustle of beach front. Owner Mike and all of the staff were extremely friendly & attentive and gave good help on transportation. Nice breakfast and facilities incl. a front garden veranda, great place to observe a rain shower. (RamoNewYork)) more

This was our first stay in San Juan del Sur, and we were enchanted by the town. The leaders of of our "Sister City Newton (MA)/San Juan del Sur" group recommended we stay at Villa Isabella, aka Mike and Jane's place. Since this Sister City connection has been sending people to this town since 1988, we figured they had checked... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Villa Isabella. We did not have any reservations when we arrived in San Juan del Sur and we looked at a few places first, which were really overpriced for the quality of the accomodations. At the Villa Isabella, the rooms were neat and clean and the atmosphere was great. We just wanted something... more

Highly recommend the Hotel Villa Isabella! My two sons and I just returned from a surf trip to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. While we there we stayed at Hotel Villa Isabella, owned and operated by Mike Iacoboni. The hotel, Mike and staff are wonderful! It all started with our late night arrival and the incredibly friendly and attentive staff... more

The only negatives were that the cushions on the wicker furniture never stayed in place and that the water pressure is extremely variable and very slow to warm for a shower. However, having been in other parts of Nicaragua, this was still only a minor inconvenience. Mike was... more

This is a great place to kick back and enjoy the great life in Nicaragua. The rooms are very comfortable with most of them having two double beds, air conditioning, bathroom with large showers, walk in closets, and free cable TV. The rooms are kept neat and clean and are fairly large so that you do not feel cramped. The... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Villa Isabella. The owner and staff were super friendly and always helpful. Every morning we looked forward to the breakfast as you had your choice of almost anything you wanted. Eggs, pancakes, waffles, omelets. It was great not to have the same things everyday. My only complaint would be the pool size and... more

Everything you've read is true about Mike the owner's hospitality and helpfulness, the rooms being nice, the staff friendly. When we arrived, the hotel was virtually empty - we had reservations and were shown a terrible room that opens literally into the dining room - you need to maneuver around tables to enter/exit. Why offer such a room when the... more
