Isla retreat has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The villa # 3 was much more than expected. The owner was slow to respond after the initial booking when we had to make changes to our reservation it took a number of attempts to get a response but the owner did accommodate our changes. Overall definitely a great place to stay.

Beautiful property with gorgeous artistic sculptures and wonderful staff. We spent a lot of time enjoying the very nice pool with waterfalls. Not a lot within walking distance - cabs are typically easy to hail depending on the time of day. Having a golf cart is ideal and really opens up the whole island for exploration. A beautiful property to return to at the end of the day.

Lovely escape

One never knows what to expect when one arrives at a VRBO property and this one did not disappoint. Removed from the hubbub of Playa Norte, Isla Retreats offers a peaceful and serene setting, spacious and comfortable quarters and a comprehensive list of restaurant recommendations. The hostess is very responsive and helpful. The staff is friendly and efficient. Our unit had everything we needed. We do recommend having the hostess make arrangements for a golf cart for ease in exploration and going to the beach and out to eat.

Isla oasis

Tropical gem in the middle of Isla with easy access by foot or cart to town. Loved our beautifully decorated villa with a comfy bed, plenty of hooks, hangers, and drawers made it easy to fully unpack and make it our home for five days. Coffee and wine provided. Lots of towels and daily housekeeping. The property was spotlessly clean. The pool was warm enough to never be chilly but still refreshing. Relaxed for hours poolside where at most there were six other people but often had it to ourselves. Excellent communication with our host - they even zipped up to the ferry dock to bring me a left behind item. Highly recommend!

New Tradition

I'm hesitant to write a review cause I'd love to keep this property as our little secret but the space and service was too wonderful not to share. This property is off the beaten path and quiet, which we appreciated immensely, has all the comforts of home and I've literally never stayed anywhere cleaned, and I'm and clean nut. Katy was so incredibly responsive to anything that came up and the cats roaming the property were great company.

Absolutely Fantastic. Stay here!

I had a wonderful stay at Isla Retreats. It’s a top notch property. I stayed in a one bedroom villa that was more than spacious and had all the amenities you would need for a longer stay. This included a fully equipped kitchen with new equipment and amenities. The living room had comfortable couch and relaxing chairs. Big screen Tv with Netflix. The bedroom and bathroom were comparable to a very nice hotel. The pool was incredible and there was an outdoor palapa with a gas grill bar and refrigerator. All the amenities of the villa were great. What made it special was the staff. Katy, the manager, was an incredible host. She was always around and had great recommendations. She also coordinated a delivery of fresh caught lobsters and fish for a very special Christmas Eve dinner. Her staff were also terrific and made sure my stay was comfortable. The apartment was cleaned everyday and they even did my laundry! I would highly, highly recommend this property.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé Isla Retreats

Juillet 2022 - Tout était formidable. Nous avons séjourné pendant 10 jours. La villa est impeccablement propre. Le personnel est très sympathique et la communication est facile avec les propriétaires qui sont très serviables. La villa est à environ 5 minutes de la plage en voiture et à 30 minutes à pied mais il fait beaucoup trop chaud pour marcher en été. Nous avons loué une voiturette de golf pour 1300 pesos mais il y a des taxis partout pour entre 60 et 80 pesos pour aller à la plage ou au Centro. Il y a un très grand marché pour l'épicerie pas trop loin à 5 minutes en voiture ou sinon il y a un mini dépanneur juste en face qui est très utile. Mon mari et moi avons adoré cet endroit et nous y retournerons certainement.

Amazing, Beautiful, Comfortable stay. Excellent se

My 2 daughters and I and a family friend had the most amazing time at Isla Retreats. Katy and her Fun loving father were amazing hosts! Katy was so gracious helped with our golf cart rental. The staff was great. I had to go across the street to the tiny store for a cpl things and the sweet housekeeper followed me to help me with my Spanish. The rooms we had suites 3 and 4 were so comfortable, linens, towels so comfortable. The kitchen had everything u coukd want. Always plenty of fresh water..doing the dishes was a treat looking out to the lagoon and picking a col limes from the lime tree and watching the hummingbirds feast on the nectar. So many delicious places to walk and eat. Every morning I would walk across the street with my coffee and sit on the wall and watch the waves and sea glass hunt. I will definitely come back to this paradise. Grounds and Pool were spectacular. Thank You!! I felt very safe always, but I always do on this magical Island. Keep up the good work Isla Retreats. I will see you soon. One more thing...the best Shower/Water pressure I have ever had on the Island. This was my 9th different place i have stayed over the years.

Amazing Vacation!

We just got home and we already want to go back! My husband and I instantly fell in love with the Island and Isla Retreats. We stayed in Villa #3 and it was very upscale, and had all of the comforts of home. The rooms were completely spotless, and clean. These accommodations exceeded our expectations - this property is definitely the most beautiful we’ve seen on the Island. I loved all of the closet space in the bedrooms, and the kitchen has the best cookware and cutlery . There is not a detail that has been over-looked, and the service is top- notch! The owners and staff are so accommodating and friendly. Everyone made sure our experience each day was perfect. We enjoyed many different local restaurants nearby, and the food was Always Amazing! The pool area is very peaceful and relaxing (I loved the saltwater pool). And we enjoyed spending 'happy hour' each day, under the palapa. We can't wait to plan our next vacation at Isla Retreats!

Beautiful Property. Great location!

Isla Retreats is a beautiful, well maintained property and our villa was well equipped. Katy is a warm, wonderful hostess who thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Awesome mid-island location within walking distance to the Caribbean and delicious restaurants. Ample space to park golf carts and taxis are readily available just out front of the property. The pool is beautiful and we loved the waterfall feature. This is a quiet relaxing property. We look forward to returning someday.

Beautiful property with gracious hosts

My family and I stayed in Villas 3 and 4 for a week. Outside, the setting is gorgeous, with tropical foliage, artwork, salt-water pool and colorful dwellings. Inside the decor is perfect for the island setting, the furniture and beds comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, and between the two villas we had more than enough room for 3 adults. But as impressive as the villas were, even more impressive was the kindness and helpfulness of our hosts. Katy assisted us over the week in ways big and small. She was very available and quick to make sure our stay was pleasant or to provide us with suggestions as to restaurants or places to visit. David worked around the property, making sure everything was just right for his guests. The island itself was great, the people friendly. Even though we could say little more than por favor and gracias, somehow we got along well. We walked all over the island and took a cab for the longer distances or the return. The food was delicious, with some of our better meals coming from the less-assuming restaurants. Mango Café was one of our favorites.

Perfect Vacation

Isla Retreats was the perfect getaway location. Descriptions that come to mind for the property include: tranquil, tropical, peaceful, and beautiful. It’s location is ideal for travel into Playa Norte or to the opposite end of the island. In addition, there are many delicious restaurants just a few blocks away. Katy is the ideal host, always available, and always with a smile. She even arranged for our golf carts to be waiting, upon our arrival to the property. The outdoor pool was a treat, perfect for an afternoon cool down. I can’t say enough about our stay. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful place

This is our 3rd time to stay on the Island. First time at Isla Retreats. This is a beautiful place. The condos are lovely and have everything you need. We rented golf carts and Katy had them ready for us upon arrival which was so nice. We headed out right away to grocery shop etc. and get ready for our stay. This place is quiet and clean, relaxing and modern. A golf cart is necessary as the swimming Beach is more than a walk away. But we liked heading out to the beach in the morning and returning to a quiet place at night. Katy and Dave did a great job with place.
