  My wife and I stayed at Brisazzul for the weekend and we had only one major problem: we did not want to leave! The apartment is the perfect place to stay if you like astounding ocean views from a huge terrace or from the bedroom, a tasteful decoration, a nice bed with clean sheets, lots of windows and even a barbeque grill. The condo complex is very well kept with a decent size pool, tennis and basketball court. Maritza, the owner is a charming woman that makes sure that your stay is a pure bliss! In the apartment she has everything you need and more, wifi, plasma TV with cable, coffee maker, blender, microwave, books, magazines, etc. If you are not in the mood for cooking, there are plenty of very good restaurants nearby, One Ten Thai, Palms Café, Made in Italy, La Spezie and Texturas among others. I truly recommend this property 100%.

  Owner response: Julio, Thank you for the great review. It validates the extra effort taken to ensure all guests enjoy their stay. Hope to see you and your wife in the near future. Again, thank you!

  It was such a pleasure staying at Brisazzul. We stayed the first night in San Juan and took in the sites we wanted to see. San Juan is the most expensive city I have ever been in and after getting a taste of that Aguadilla and Isabela was such a welcomed change. The directions that we were given helped alot even with getting there at night. The apartment was tastefully furnished with appropriate beach style furniture. Everything we needed was there, washing machine, mask and fins. The amenities of the complex was great, there is a gym and a nice pool which helped us relax. The first night there we slept outside on the day bed outside, it was so relaxing sleeping and waking up to the sounds of crashing waves. Our first stop we made was at Walmart on the way through as we werent sure of what would be available at the apartment, such as coffee and sugar so we bought all of that. Be aware some of the previous guests had graciously left all that we thought we would need. My recommendation is to get there and see what is already there. There is a grocery store about 5 miles away that has everything you might need. The only issue we had was trying to get cash, the ATMs and debit cards were not working with our US bank cards, according to the cashier this is a common thing. The restaurants nearby are wonderful the food was good and a fraction of the price of San Juan and they all played reggae music. The Thai restaurant was really good but gets full early. It didnt have a sign but it is the red building on the right as you head away from Isabela. If you are going here to surf or kitesurf this is a great place. I walked down to Shacks and kited down there. If the waves werent 20ft I would have downwinded to Shacks and walked back. I surfed out at Rincon as the waves were only 8ft over there. The water is crystal clear and warm the waves were amazing. The guys at the WRV surf shop down the road from Brisazzul were really nice and friendly, a good place to rent a board if you want to surf at Jobos. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends.

  Our stay in Isabela was perfect. The apartment was spotless, had everything we needed, and has an amazing view of the beach. It was quiet but close to everything. It's very easy to drive or walk to nearby beaches and restaurants. We ate at Ola Lola's, Sonia Rican, and La Casa at Royal Isabela and loved them! We stayed for a few days at the beginning of the week, and it was very difficult to find open restaurants as most places are just open a few days a week and do most of their business on weekends. The guest guidebook was great, but it would be even better if it listed which days certain restaurants were open. We drove to several places we found in the book and were disappointed to find them closed. Other than that, we had no issues during our stay. We loved Isabela and will definitely be back!

  My wife and I loved our stay at Brisazzul. The ocean view from the spacious balcony can't be beat and its just a few steps to the expansive, unpopulated beach. The apartment was comfortable, functional, and nicely decorated. The complex is secure and close to the stores, restaurants and airport. We have stayed at several apartments in the area on previous visits but this was by far the most comfortable and best value. It has been several weeks since our visit but I can still hear the waves and look forward to returning...

  This condo is exactly as pictured. It is beautifully furnished with huge balconies overlooking both the ocean and pool. The condo had many unexpected extras, such as soaps, shampoos, paper towels, condiments, etc. We had forgotten to pack toothpaste, but there was some at the condo that got us through until we could get to the store. Little things mean a lot! The beaches were absolutely beautiful. Make sure you find Borinquen Beach -- you have to drive through the golf course to get to it, but what a beautiful spot! Crashboat Beach is a great swimming beach, as it's protected and has a smooth, sandy bottom. It does get very crowded on the weekends. We also went horseback riding with Tropical Trail Rides, and I highly recommend. It was $50 for two hours of riding through deserted beaches and beautiful wooded areas -- well worth it. We had a difficult time finding good restaurants, so make sure you do some research and ask around. We went to Chris on Route 2 one night, and it was pretty good. We also went to Eclipse one night -- a beautiful spot, but we didn't find the food to be as good as the surroundings and it was pricey. We had pizza at Jimmy's one night, and it was decent and inexpensive. We ate at Surfside, and it was ok, but the menu was extremely limited as they had no fish at all the night we were there. We were going to try Happy Bellies, but we decided to pass as it looked filthy. Hopefully you'll have better luck finding good spots to eat.

  Owner response: Vicki: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Brisazzul. The view from the penthouse is definitely majestic and peaceful. Thank you for the great review and your comments about the restaurants. We will take it to heart and add more menus to the Guest Guide. Again, thank you, and we hope you visit us in the near future. "Mi casa es su casa". Best regards, Dirk and Maritza

  The apartment is very nice, clean and well equipped. The terrace is great and has amazing views. Location is excellent, close to Jobos and other beaches. The owner is always available to respond questions but not intrusive at all. Overall excellent experience and I’d recommend this place to anybody thinking about staying in Isabella..

  Thank you Jorge, for your graciousness and the absolute delight from every aspect of renting with you. Brett and I had the most enjoyable time at your incredibly romantic beach villa. It was perfect in every way and I am so grateful that we connected and we so look forward to coming back again, again and again. :-) Your location and the accommodations were perfect, from great yummy cotton sheets too a super comfy bed and the out side lounge was my favorite spot to sip on some tasty Sangria in the afternoon. The helpful guides, notes and maps you had available were so convenient. Also, I appreciated you checking in and making sure we were enjoying our time, the condo and that we had everything we needed. thank you so much for allowing us to share your space and treat us like family it meant a lot to us! I have to EMPHASIZE your location is absolutely beautiful, the views from all the balcony are breathtaking. The best part was listening to the roar of the ocean and feeling the breeze on our faces at night, made the experience all the more enchanting. I loved that the beach felt like my own private paradise and I could walk down to some great surfing and snorkeling spots. Even though I didn't realize (my mistake) you had boogie boards and all the beach amenities, next time I will surely take advantage of all the beach fun to be had! ;-) it's nice to know there available. Isabela is lovely, by far my favorite towns on the west coast. I've spent lots of time in PR and of all the beaches Isabela has the nicest and least crowded beaches in the area. the restaurants in the area were super tasty and the folks in the area were super sweet. My favorite spot was on the corner up the street when you head towards Rincon. They have the best Empanadillas on the island. you can tell all the locals stop bye to enjoy the delicious eats, that's the giveaway!. on another note...having a grill around made for great cook outs, not to mention the kitchen had everything we needed to cook in when we wanted to. all around Jorge we had the BEST time ever. thank you so much for allowing us to share in your slice of paradise. I will definitely be recommending your villa to all my family and friends. I wish all the best to you and I look forward to seeing your smiling face again in the near future. thank you my friend! Brett & Elizabeth Carper

  This was a wonderful place to stay in Isabela. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Jorge was a great person to deal with. It was very quiet. There was a nice pool for adults and/or children. The ocean in front f the apartment was rough, but a twenty minute walk brings you to Jaco. And the views and terrace were outstanding! I hope to be able to come back. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

  Our stay at Brisazzul was amazing. The view was everything and more than we expected by the photos. We are able to step outside and on the beach and very private. Everything we could have ever needed was supplied and we felt like we were the only ones on the premises. We will surely go back again. Thank you George for allowing us the use of your beautiful home.

  The apartment WAS everything as advertised. Many times rentals will have pictures that are not truly reflective of the actual place but this apartment was indeed. From the comfortable bed with good sheets/comforter, to the big screen TV, to the large decks with plenty of comfortable furniture, we very much enjoyed our week. The kitchen was well-equipped and that was important to us because we prepared the majority of our own meals (very good Econo supermarket a few minutes away on Rt. 110). There were other details that also made our stay quite enjoyable: Having a clock radio that plays an iPod...providing beach towels and quality beach chairs and a sturdy umbrella. Little things like that make a BIG difference. While the beach out front is not a swimming beach, it was fantastic to have our coffee outside every morning watching the waves crash in. We spent many hours out on the deck reading, sunning, eating, and just relaxing. We went to the beach several times and followed Jorge and Emma's directions to the spot a couple of miles past Jobos where there's a protected pool that you can swim in. Great spot and practically deserted during the week. Since we didn't eat out much, the only restaurant recommendations we can make are for 110 Thai (very good to excellent, depending on what you order). Good craft beers there as well. The other place we ate at is El Carey Cafe (walking distance from Haudimar). Excellent breakfast and lunch. Without a doubt - if we decide to come back to Puerto Rico next year, this is where we'd like to be! Rachel and Corinne New York, NY
