I had a good time during my stay at Isla Bonita Beach Resort. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location offered a nice beach vibe. However, the dining options could be improved, as some meals were underwhelming. Overall, I would recommend this place for its relaxed atmosphere, especially if you're looking to surf in San Juan. 🌊🌴
