I have very mixed feelings about Isabella’s. Some love but left disappointed.
we were in a third floor room facing the ocean with a balcony with plunge pool at the end of october
pros:
location amazing
design very cool, love the vibe
staff friendly
plant milks available
breakfast included was pretty good, (we did not eat lunch or dinner here) 24 hour snack bar was nice
cons:
The shower gets warm but not hot. After all day hiking the camí de ronda an actual shower would have been awesome. instead we used the hose attachment in sort of a very quick sponge bath. Disappointing
the plunge pool was not useable. all the paint inside was chipping, it is not heated and too cold this time of year and by the third day half the water was gone even though it wasn’t hot out. FYI on online searches it comes up as a heated jacuzzi, Isabella’s website makes no claims that the plunge pool is heated or has bubbles so don’t believe what you read elsewhere online. Regardless of this, all the paint chips and disappearing water would have made it not usable anyway. Very disappointing.
The room is all white and It was clean, but looked less so because it simply needs new paint. The balcony cushion had a huge stain and should have been replaced. TLC needed.
Elderly should be advised there is a curved step up to the bed. Caution.
The stairwell was a little dark. they have adorable hanging fish baskets - they should put lights inside them!
This could be 5 star with paint and hot water
