Isla del Sol

The units at Isla del Sol are individually owned so depending on which unit you rent you could have a widely varying experience from those reviewed here. We stayed in unit #2204 so this review will pertain to it.
From the outside the building does look dated, but upon walking from the parking lot to the main sidewalk that takes you to each of the buildings, it’s clear to see that the grounds and pool are spectacularly maintained. I would compare the maintenance of the grounds (grass, outdoor shower area, pool) to that you’d see at a high end resort — grass meticulously cut to a precise level with bushes and plants neatly bordering the sidewalks.
The inside of our unit was beachy chic with tile throughout (great for cleaning up sand that inevitably makes its way inside with you). There was wood panelling throughout and the kitchen had been freshly painted a stark white that worked well with the décor. The back ‘wall’ of the unit was all windows with wood grain window coverings. The couch, coffee table with pull-​out ottoman seating, dining table/​chairs, and barstools all matched and had a fun seahorse/​fish pattern in colorful, but not tacky, material.
The master suite included a comfortable king size bed with attached bathroom. The second bedroom had 2 twin size beds, one with a trundle attachment with the second bathroom right across the hall. Each bed had nice bedding and comfy soft comforters. The showers, while small, had hot water with normal water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped with normal pots/​pans/​silverware and provided us what we needed to cook breakfast and some dinners several of our days there. The attached patio was very large with 4 lawn chairs for seating. Our condo did have wifi internet access.
The best feature of this condo was the direct access to the beach. Not only could we see the ocean from our patio, it took no more than 2 minutes to get from our front door to the ocean and I’m talking feet in the water! Great soft sand lined the beach and there were 2 companies (both to the right and to the left of the main beachfront in front of the Isla del Sol) providing umbrellas and lawn chairs for rent (~$ 20 for an umbrella and ~$ 30 for the umbrella with 2 chairs).
Overall, unit #2204 provided perfectly easy access to the beach, a refreshing pool when we were done contending with the salty waves, a cool shower to wash away the salty water and a place to lay our heads when we needed to rest. This unit easily gets a 5 star rating all-​around (location, maintenance, décor, comfortableness, beach access). You won’t be disappointed if you stay here!

I is totally amazing that the owner of a luxury resort condo would not have internet access in their premises in this the 21^st Century. I would have given a much higher rating for this place if it had. The management company was just great, but this owner needs to get in the real world!
The beach access is not ideal — you have to walk over a lot of rough terrain before you get there. I didn’t mind the dog next door barking, but I have a dog! If you don’t like dogs, you might go somewhere else.
