Bella Surf, as advertised, is right on the beach. There are stairs behind the property you can used to access the beach. Unfortunately, they do not clear the area at the base of the stairs so you have to navigate large pieces of drift wood and trash. The swimable portion of the beach with decent eats and surf class options is about .6 miles from the hotel. You can also walk on the street to that option of the beach - but you are walking on the street navigating parked cars, damaged tar, driving cars, and other walkers.
Despite all of this, it is a great location.
The hotel advertises washer and dryer and there is one on the map photo. We were told there was no washer and dryer.
There are two “jacuzzis” - standard above ground hot tubs for use but the water is not hot. We were there for two days and experienced warm water in the room for about 30 minutes so don’t plan for a hot shower to wash off the sand.
We had a room with a bedroom with a queen bed that took up all but 10 inches in the room and a kitchen/bedroom with another queen bed. No sofa. It was advertised as having a wrap around porch. This was a less than 18” concrete space the length of the room with a three foot wall and two chairs. Not comfortable and no real view because of the wall. Probably not something to get excited about.
Isabela has lovely beaches and a nice town square. The pickings are slim with and air bnb cleaning is over the top, so this place sufficed. Bella Surf over promised.
