We decided to take a trip to Isabela, Puerto Rico, on the north coast, and decided to visit and explore the very much talked about, Royal Isabela Resort.  While driving there, we had to ask other drivers for directions to Royal Isabela Resort three times, since there are no signs leading to it.

The third driver was nice enough to lead us to a private road and showed us the entrance to the resort. They have a guard at the entrance gate and the guard does not let you in unless you have a reservation or have an appointment to see the property.  We said we wanted to look around and maybe have lunch at the restaurant.  After the guard called for permission, he let us in and explained how to get to the restaurant.  On our way, a golf cart approached us and the driver (a hotel employee) led us to La Casa, a beautiful one-story building designed around a sugar mill replica, where Rafael was waiting for us in the concierge office (which actually is the reception area).  Rafael took us in his “taxi - limousine” (a golf cart) and showed us the resort’s facilities:


The Royal Isabela has over 3,000 acres of land on the cliffs of the coastline overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.  The golf course is not a resort course but a more challenging one, reminiscent to those of Scotland.  Only members and Casita guests can play golf here.  There is a library, a restaurant-bar with a wood burning oven (great for pizza), La Casa golf course bar, a tennis court, two swimming pools and 20 one-bedroom Casitas with private plunge pool and a fabulous view of the ocean or gardens.


The Royal Isabela has an organic farm which provides fresh produce for the restaurant and guests.  Guests can pick their organic produce for their meal and take it to the restaurant for preparation.  The chef changes the dinner menu daily depending on what is available from the farm and the fisherman's catch.  Room service is available so that you can enjoy dinner in your Casita.



This is the perfect place for golfing, long walks, biking and enjoying the beautiful surroundings and ocean breezes.  A stay at Royal Isabela in Puerto Rico will renew your spirit.  We enjoyed the ambiance of the Royal Isabela and are sure you will, too.
