We recently stayed at the Fusion Beach Villas in the Garden Studio and were so happy there. This property is walking distance to restaurants, bars and the beach. Fusion Beach Villas is beautiful! The property has a yard surrounded by lush plants and palm trees, containing hammocks, outdoor table and seating, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after returning from the beach. The path to the beach is located at the edge of this yard. The path is an easy walk, taking literally 1 minute to walk from the property to the beach. There is another outdoor sitting area at the front of the property, next to the main road. Very tranquil and peaceful.
There is parking available onsite. You can also walk on the main road in about 2-3 minutes to the nearest restaurant and bar. Take care though, as there are no sidewalks. You can also access these same bars and restaurants from the beach, as each venue has exterior stairs leading to the beach. Getting into the main town of Isabela is about a 10 minute drive and this is where you will find grocery stores, pharmacy etc..
About the room: The Garden Studio contains a mini-fridge, hot plate, and stocked with kitchen amenities, including: coffee maker, utensils, blender, cups, plates. Our favorite part of this room were the french doors opening onto the private patio with a table and chairs. We would sit out here each morning drinking coffee as well as in the evenings drinking cocktails. There is A/C and a ceiling fan. There is a TV with Roku.
The bathroom had plenty of towels. The shower pressure was fine, but the water will only get warm and not hot. Not a big deal, as the temperature is in the 80's.
The Owner (Elaine) was very helpful with suggestions on places to visit, restaurant options, etc... Just ask her if you need anything. She has some additional items available for use, such as: coolers, beach chairs etc. She is located onsite and also only a phone call away which was very nice.
This location was great and we would fully stay here again! Cannot wait to return!
