Royal Isabela is a great and nice property, but really needs maintenance in the Casitas. For example, the woods in the terrace, lights inside the room. Also, the restaurant didn’t have some of the plates in the menu

We stayed in Royal Isabela for a short Family vacation and the highlight of our stay was their Signature Complete Experience, E-Bike Trek plus Kayak / Stand Up Paddleboard through the Guajataca River including lunch & beverages. This was my second stay at Royal and I absolutely love this place, the rooms, the peacefulness, views, food, everything is amazing. But now combining the relaxing nature of this place with the outdoor experiences just makes it perfect. The experience began with the Santa Cruz e-bikes expedition where we met our guide Jorge who makes this experience super fun and unforgettable. He's the ultimate outdoor adventure specialist and explains everything from the organic farms in the property, to different plants and birds we came across, little bit of local history, surrounding beaches and even some tips on handling this amazing e-bikes. We rode the bikes through the property where we passed through an old railroad passage and trails that lead us straight to an amazing beach. From there we kept surrounding the Isabela coast, went through the Guajataca Tunnel and ended up by the river where the second part of the adventure began. We went paddleboarding down the river with amazing views of the mountains and surrounded by nature and ended up at the river mouth where we took a swim. Then, we paddled our way back to find out that lunch and beverages were waiting for us on a really nice picknick Jorge setups under a tree by the river. After lunch, we rode our e-bikes back to the Hotel. We really had a special day and Jorge even took some pictures and videos so it's well documented. I highly recommend this experience or any other that Royal has to offer as it kind of complements the relaxing nature of this Hotel. Take advantage of this amazing property and all that Royal has to offer. Next time I'm going out surfing with Jorge!!

My wife and I just finished a 3 night stay at Royal Isabela. I had wanted to come here for a long time, but before I could do it Hurricane Maria happened, then the Pandemic happened, but, finally, we were able to make it work. The setting is really impressive. A very large property with impeccably manicured grounds and a challenging golf course on top of cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. There are only 20 casitas here, so, even if the hotel is fully booked you rarely see any other guests and at times it feels like you have the entire resort for yourself. I recommend booking a Royal Suite with Ocean views. The Presidential Suites are bigger and more expensive but don't offer direct unobstructed ocean views from the room itself. The location of the resort is perfect to make it a home base for a multi-day tour of the northwest corner of Puerto Rico: Arecibo, Isabela, Aguadilla, Rincon, the Gozalandia Falls. Plenty to do in this area. Highly recommend renting a car if you are going to stay here. Is about a 1h20 min to 1h45min drive from the SJU airport. Much closer to the Aguadilla Airport. They have a full service restaurant, Jota, that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a varied menu. They also offer room service. Food was really good. Service was not always the most efficient, but we found it very friendly and useful. You will certainly experience the famous Puerto Rican hospitality here. We loved our stay, and will definitely come back. However, there is some room for improvement. The casitas have not been properly maintained. They are very close to the ocean, which means that the salty air corrodes any exposed metal parts and those need to be replaced frequently. That has not happened here. That resulted in our room having door locks that didn't lock, French doors to the patio that didn't fully open, sliding room divisions that were stuck and a shower head (one of 3 in the shower that didn't work). Also, our wooden deck obviously had not been retouched/repainted in many years. The "distressed" look did not work. This resort was sold last year. Hopefully, the new owners will invest more in proper, and much needed, maintenance,

For the money you would expect a luxury stay, the location is amazing, great views, but the rooms were run down, the plumbing did not function properly, the walking paths were over grown, it just seemed like a hotel on tight budget or going out of business,

We absolutely loved this property. If you are looking for a quite getaway in a lovely, clean and charming casita with a lounge and private patio with pool, this is a must! Great food and cocktails in the restaurant. Amazing views over golf course/jungle to the ocean. 10/10

Lindo hotel con vista al mar, casitas privadas para disfrutar en parejas o familias. Un hermoso lugar para descansar, empleados muy amables, limpieza excelente. Vale la pena mencionar que el restaurante Jota es excelente. Las comidas riquísimas y su personal muy cortés, con deseos de complacerte. Definitivamente regresaré muy pronto!!!

It’s hard not to appreciate being away from home in Chicago but a getaway to Puerto Rico was just what the doctor ordered. With my partner and newborn (6 months), relaxation and minimizing efforts was key. Royal Isabela is well perched on top of the terrain with breathtaking views of the ocean and a manicured gold course to experience. The heat is to be expected with minimal time spent in the sun, where fighting for shade or the pool is a must. Not being a golfer was a disadvantage as I would have liked the course but much less the blazing hot sun. Our on-site resort excursion, as a result, was only limited to the long 177-step trek down to the ocean beach. Quite exhilarating to experience along with the feel for lots of foliage surrounding your descent and an amazing feeling of seclusion, like being in the deep forest. However, reaching the beach was a very desolate and seemingly uncharted zone. No chairs, or amenities to support this arrival (No water, chairs or towels) so you’re on your own to just experience the view and waves and trek back up. However, there are some things not to be desired at Royal Isabela. At this price point (+$500 paid), one of the most expensive around, housekeeping should happen more frequently, automatically and not after 12/1pm. We would wake up, have breakfast, head to the pool and then see housekeeping knocking on our door. Our response was always, come back, you had your chance all morning, it’s time for the baby’s afternoon nap. Similar resorts in Mexico have housekeeping multiple times a day voluntarily, and with staff that is overly friendly in greeting guests. Also, bringing the room towels, refreshments and water in a large plastic clear bag was also super low-class service that are found typically in a seedy cheap motels. Food at the Resort restaurant was very, very, tasty. My favorite was the Brioche French Toast, prepared to perfection along with the toppings for a new flavor experienced. However, the WAITING & WAITING around for service was simply absurd. While having breakfast, a coffee refill takes 15-20 minutes, and we were the only guests eating. How is that possible anywhere for a resort restaurant, and this lasted for our entire four-day stay. Even the memory of the same server to constantly ask for the same repeat request for coffee at the start. Asking and requesting everything is how they operate, nothing is proactive done on your behalf as a guest. I was told that it’s the Puerto Rican way, which in that case, save lots of money and find a decent hotel elsewhere with better service. The porters near registration were fantastic as they were alerted of your arrival at the parking lot, to provide pickup and drive you to the room in the cart. Quite helpful usually with a sleeping infant on the hilly terrain. Overall, An “A” Grade for the view, grounds, accommodations and experience of being away. An “F” Grade on the service, housekeeping, and interaction with the staff

Absolutely has the bones to be nice resort but was extremely run down. Just about everything in our room was broken or poorly kept. I called to have the lock on our door fixed and no one ever showed up. The pool was broken-along with half the shower. I could go on but it’s not necessary. Restaurant service was lacking. Breakfast took over 2 hours each time- the food was great though. The other staff was accommodating but it’s disappointing because the grounds and buildings have the potential. Overall, not worth what they are trying to charge- if I had to guess it’s under new management.
