Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort Reviews

On the day of my wedding, we encountered some rain, but the team provided us with an excellent contingency plan for the ceremony. The food was exceptional, receiving a perfect score of 10 out of 10, and all the guests thoroughly enjoyed it. I must commend the server, Edwin, who ensured our satisfaction throughout the event. I never had to concern myself with my drink, as he consistently refilled it. My family appreciated his attentive service, and he even preserved my wedding cake until the following day at the hotel.

Our guest were impressed with their stay at the courtyard Marriott island verde. Juan was amazing to work with. He made everything run smoothly even with a little rain before the ceremony. Would recommend to anyone looking to do a destination wedding in Pr!

Celebrar nuestra boda en el Marriott Courtyard de Isla Verde fue una de las mejores decisiones que tomamos. Desde el primer día, la atención fue impecable. El hotel es precioso, con una vista espectacular y un salón hermoso, perfecto para una ocasión tan especial. Pero más allá de lo bello del lugar, lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue el servicio.

Amnel, el director de eventos, fue increíble desde el principio. Siempre mantuvo una comunicación clara y constante con nosotros, y se aseguró de que todo fluyera perfectamente. Estuvo pendiente de cada detalle y trabajó en total coordinación con nuestra coordinadora de bodas y con todos los vendors, lo cual hizo que todo fuera mucho más fácil para nosotros.

Tanto él como todo el staff del hotel fueron atentos, amables y siempre dispuestos a acomodar lo que necesitáramos. En ningún momento nos sentimos desatendidos — al contrario, siempre estuvieron presentes, asegurándose de que todo saliera perfecto.

Y como si eso fuera poco, Amnel incluso se tomó el tiempo de pasar a saludarnos el día de la boda… ¡en su día libre! Ese gesto habla del compromiso y la pasión con la que trabaja. De verdad que se botó. No podríamos estar más agradecidos.

Recomendaría el Marriott Courtyard de Isla Verde con los ojos cerrados para cualquier evento especial.

We would recommend this venue to EVERYONE!! It was absolutely amazing from receiving our first quote all the way to the end of our wedding.

We had our wedding on Saturday, March 29th, 2025. Our ceremony was held on the Green Area and our reception was held in Las Brisas. We had about 65 people attend in total. It rained very briefly the morning of the wedding day, but in true tropical weather fashion, it stopped raining about as quickly as it started. It was 85-86ish degrees with 70% humidity, but the constant coastal breeze helped keep the temperature to a minimum for the ceremony. Although the reception was outside and in a covered area, it did get pretty warm (especially while dancing!!). We recommend having some form of fan as a wedding gift to guests to help them cool down!

Working with Juan Fuentes and Alejandra Rosa was an absolute joy. Juan is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and went above and beyond while helping our families. If you have any questions, he is quick to respond and will find you an answer if he doesn’t know right away. Juan was always reachable! Once we arrived to the hotel, he met us and walked us around the property to show where we would be having all of our festivities. Juan assisted us with the booking of both the ceremony and reception areas, the kind of food we would have, the bar, and worked with our wedding coordinator (Shout out Michelle Cruz Badia Events!). Juan is bilingual and made a half English half Spanish wedding work amazingly.

Alejandra was wonderful as well! We ended up creating a room block reservation which she helped us with. Despite our hesitance in doing it, we are so, so glad we did! We decided on 10 rooms, and we’re glad we did, because by the time our wedding was here, the hotel was completely booked for our wedding weekend.

All of the staff were eager to help, extremely professional, and we enjoyed working with most everyone at the hotel. Housekeeping has a bit left to be desired.. On the wedding day, it took 3 separate requests from the bride and groom to have the bridal suite cleaned by housekeeping in preparation for professional photos to be taken. Besides the housekeeping, the only other minor issue we had was how long everything takes; especially food and drinks at the restaurant and bar outside (Sirena).

The catering came included in our overall price, as did the bar. We chose to have the Puerto Rican Buffett which we had amazing reviews from our guests. The food was delicious, cooked well, plentiful, and vegan/gluten free options were offered. The bar was fantastic as well. The bartender was a great vibe and happy to serve. We had a good mix of liquors, wines, beers, and non alcoholic drinks.

The Green Area and Las Brisas were excellent locations to have our best day ever at. The only issues we personally found with the Green Area is that the beach is a public beach, so there happened to be a group of people who erected a white canopy on the beach which happened to be very near where our ceremony and was seen during the ceremony. There’s also potential for people to be walking in the back ground or popping a squat in a chair on the beach where photos are being taken. For Las Brisas, it has some of the best and prettiest beach views I’ve seen before, but unfortunately the other side looks at the parking garage, and cars can be seen from inside. However, there are sun shades that are pulled down and help hide the garage, as well as several fun designs that break it up. Truthfully, as the night progressed, we didn’t really even notice the other side of Las Brisas. Both the ceremony and reception spots provided incredible views that made for the best photos and memories. The deep blue ocean, blue skies, and palm trees made the experience all the more remarkable.

The beach itself is very clean! The sand is amazing. They have 3rd party vendors on the beach who control the beach chairs and umbrellas. If you are staying at the resort, you get them for free, and if you have other guests who are not staying at the hotel itself, the prices are relatively inexpensive and reasonable. Don’t forget your sunscreen and bug spray, though!

There are no shuttles to/from the airport, but TSJU is located so close, that it’s both a good and bad thing (depending on who you ask!). The Ubers seemed to vary heavily in pricing and taxis were more consistently priced. A very quick 6-9 minute drive to the hotel once you leave the airport. That’s the best part about the proximity to the airport. The other part is that the airplane noise is pretty apparent (we understood that when we booked, please, if you’re going to book here, do not complain about the airplane noise too much).

There are several restaurants, bars, and entertainment options in walking distance, but a majority of the fun things to do are located in Old San Juan, which isn’t a bad uber/taxi ride away.

Overall, we had an incredible experience. A few hiccups along the way, but the Courtyard by Marriott, Isla Verde was an amazing venue. Wonderful and attentive staff, great views, an amazing beach, and the best time of our lives.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we can't imagine having it anywhere else. Amnel Colon (one of the catering/event directors) specifically was amazing!! He is responsive, organized, kind, and goes above and beyond! I highly recommend this venue.

Juan, Alejandra and the rest of the team at the Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde were all so wonderful to work with. They were very professional, very communicative and made our wedding feel like a priority. The service, to the food was outstanding from beginning to end. Thank You all for making our day so perfect and special!

We had the absolute perfect wedding at the Courtyard by Marriot Isla Verde Beach Resort! The venue was beautiful; the hotel was clean and had plenty of room for our guests; the lobby is stunning with a full casino, bar and coffee shop; the staff were INCREDIBLE!! We loved working with Juan, the catering manager. He was professional, supportive, available by phone and email (we were planning from Chicago), detailed, and so much more. The staff that took care of us during the wedding were amazing too! We had hors d'oeuvres and drinks delivered to us during the cocktail hour while we were taking photos. Our drinks were always full and food was always available to us. They went out of their way to make us feel special!

After seeing all the pictures and reading other reviews about this location, my wife and I decided to have our wedding here December 2024. We worked with Juan Fuentes, who was really helpful in making our stay there very special. He is very responsive, answered all our questions about pricing, provided us with more than enough info and pictures, and communicated any time he would be out of office. He was with us every step of the way, and ensured that our room was everything that we needed with a great view.

The hotel is well kept and made for some great pictures. There was some renovations going on while we were there, but it didn't really affect the hotel's aesthetic and there was no construction going on during the weekend. There a beautiful beach that is well maintained and a large pool with a hot tub that was very nice. The outdoor bar was perfect for gatherings with our guests, and all the staff is super friendly, hard working, and made great drinks. Come wedding day, everything was setup exactly how we wanted. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all fantastic. My wife is Puerto Rican and we had probably the best Piña Colada's on the island at this Courtyard. We did the buffet option for food through the hotel and had chicken, churrasco, fish and other dishes that our guests absolutely loved. They also left Prosecco in our room while we were getting married!

As far as our room, we stayed in the Ocean View suite on the 11th floor that had great lighting and an awesome view of the beach. The room was well kept with a full kitchen and a nice bedroom. There was plenty of space for my wife to have her friends there while she got ready and for the hair/makeup venders to setup. Plenty of good angles for good wedding photos too!

Highly recommend this location for events or vacations. You won't be let down

Everything for my wedding came out perfect. I couldnt have asked for a better experience!

We had our wedding Oct 2024 at Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort and everything was perfect. I was planning this destination wedding all the way from Minnesota and working with Juan, who I cannot recommend enough. He was truly amazing, detailed through the entire process and beyond. His communication was quick, and no detail was too small, he answered all my questions and just made me feel so comfortable. I knew that with him, the wedding would go perfectly, and it did. He showed me the layouts and gave great ideas, you could tell he has so much experience with weddings and knew exactly what to do in any situation. He was so committed to making sure the wedding was exactly what I wanted and really appreciated him even more for that so much. I had a small intimate wedding of about 20 people. We had the ceremony on the Sirena Grass overlooking the ocean and it was stunning. I could not have asked for better scenery. We had the cocktail hour and dinner on the Sirena Terrace, and it was perfect. The food and drinks were so delicious, my guest kept complimenting the food. We had Chicken Satay, crab cakes and Humus, pita and veggies for cocktail hour along with the passion fruit mojito for the signature drink. All a huge hit. We did one long imperial table for dinner which was the skirt steak and French cut chicken. Both tender and juicy, so delicious!! The staff were so friendly, kind and just created an additional friendly and attentive vibe for everyone. They even bought my husband and I appetizers and drinks out to the beach where we were taking pictures when we took a little break so we could enjoy ourselves too, which was so thoughtful. You hear about the wedding couple not getting to eat much, not us, they made sure we were brought food and drinks. I remember my glass being empty, I looked up and there was a staff with another for me so fast, so attentive. And after a long day of getting ready and last-minute wedding details, it was much appreciated. The hotel and location are so beautiful and convenient for guests. The airport is literally 7 minutes away! Everyone of my guests could not stop raving about how easy it was to get to the hotel and how beautiful everything was. I cannot recommend Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort enough. Highly recommend and ask for Juan😊

We recently had our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding at Isla Verde Courtyard. We can’t say enough great things about our experience, especially thanks to Juan, the event and catering manager. From the very first time we met Juan months before the wedding, when he hosted us during our venue search, he was friendly, insightful, and very proactive. He was just as amazing throughout every communication before the wedding, during our stay, and even after the big day!

Juan went above and beyond in so many ways. He didn’t just help us plan and pull off the perfect wedding—he made our daughter-in-law feel incredibly special. Whether it was buying her coffee when they bumped into each other in the lobby or giving our entire family a personal tour of the wedding day plans, Juan was always there to make sure everything was just right. He even did a second tour the next day when our photographer arrived, making sure everything was ready to go.

The wedding itself was flawless, and I credit Juan’s dedication, expertise, and his calm yet fun demeanor for making it so! Even with a hurricane on the horizon, we felt completely at ease knowing we were in good hands! The catering staff at both the welcome dinner and the reception were phenomenal, and Juan’s presence at each event—though not required—was a true testament to his commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly.

Our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and a huge part of that is thanks to Juan. If you’re planning an event in Puerto Rico, I highly recommend Isla Verde and working with Juan - he’s absolutely the best!

After researching different venues in Puerto Rico, we landed on the Courtyard Marriott and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we chose this venue over 8 months ago, Juan was there every step of the way to help us make decisions and make the process enjoyable.

The venue itself was stunning, it looked even better in person! We had our ceremony on the green space and the reception in las brisas. Both were the perfect size for our 50 person wedding. The food and drinks were outstanding - they even were able to cater to our vegetarian guests by having a special dish at the buffet just for them!

What truly made our experience was the incredible staff. They were all so sweet and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even the bartenders were dancing to the music and having so much fun with us. They even packed up some of our food and desserts to take back to the hotel room after the reception. So kind!

This venue had everything - an amazing beach, pool, staff, food, drinks...the list goes on. Don't hesitate, book this beautiful venue for your wedding. Thank you Juan and the entire team, for making our wedding day an amazing experience! We cannot wait to stay here again the next time we visit Puerto Rico!!

The Director of catering, Amnel was great. He helped us making final decisions and suggestions he communicated with us promptly. Their staff was very professional and organized.

Juan and his team did a tremendous job. We explained, and they delivered amazingly. 100% RECOMMEND.

I could not recommend this venue more. It is absolutely beautiful, it is relaxing and it is in the best location. Amnel, who will help you guide through the entire process, is so kind and helpful. Liana, who will help with a "room block" if that applies, is so responsive and sweet. I truly couldn't have had a more positive experience. I heard from several guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I love this venue and the staff, I can't wait to visit again!

All I can say about the Isla Verde Marriott and Amnel is WOW! He went above and beyond for us, consistantly, arranging everything from florist arrive times to recommending barbers for the day of the wedding. I have never seen anyone as professional, open, or dedicated as Amnel, and the day would not have been nearly as successful without him.

We cannot express enough gratitude to our wedding coordinator for making our special day absolutely perfect. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our wedding, their attention to detail, professionalism, and unwavering support were invaluable.

Juan took the time to understand our vision and executed it flawlessly. They were responsive to our needs, offering creative solutions and calming reassurance throughout the entire process. Juan ensured that every aspect of our wedding day ran smoothly. The staff took care of us in such a way that shocked us both. We were so happy the entire night and could not stop talking about the attentiveness. Food was also a hit, we received compliments all weekend about the food.

Thank you to the entire staff at The Courtyard Isla Verde!

We had our wedding here on February 2024. It took us a year to plan all the way from Houston, TX. Amnel made the planning easy, and provided us with a vendor recommendation list, giving me ease and comfort that I would be working with a great team. The attention to details for our wedding, the accommodations, the facilities and resort were all perfect.

We’re a foodie couple and we wanted our guests to have a delicious meal. The three course meal an appetizers were a crowd pleaser. Everything was delicious and served perfectly. Our personal waiter did a wonderful job making sure we were hydrated and comfortable the entire wedding. We received many texts from family and friends thanking us for choosing Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde to celebrate our special day.

We got married at the Courtyard Isla Verde in February 2024, and it was absolutely incredible. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour at the oceanfront green area and reception at Las Brisas. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place and its staff. Juan and his team at the Marriott were extremely communicative and kind. Planning a destination wedding from the US can be stressful, but Juan always quickly answered my questions via email. The grounds are so beautiful and our guests had a great time at the casino, pool, beach and restaurants during our stay. The location is conveniently located very close to the airport and the planes were not as loud as we expected. We only had one take off during our ceremony, which was not a big deal, as we just paused for the 30 seconds. Our entire wedding day was seamless and wonderful thanks to the Marriott staff. The food was so good! Reuben was our awesome waiter at our reception and always made sure we had drinks and ate on time! When comparing prices with other nearby vendors, the Marriott was a lower cost, and I’m so glad we had our wedding there.

The ONLY issue we had was with our room block. For our guests that stayed dates before or after our room block dates, they had to make separate reservations for those stays, which made everything a mess and hard to track. I felt like guests should have receievd our room block rate for their entire stay. Upon check-in, the front desk tried to tell our guests they would have to check-out and back-in on those dates and potentially switch rooms, which caused some chaos. Luckily a manager was able to resolve this so guests did not have to change rooms, but they did have to re-check in for dates outside of our room block. For a well-recognized brand that has weddings every weekend, this should be a much better process, as almost all guests stayed additional days to extend their vacation.

If you are considering getting married here, do it; you will not regret it!!

We had the most amazing experience with Amnel and the entire team. The entire experience was seamless and they are super quick to respond. I would suggest this venue in a heartbeat to anyone looking at a venue. Reach out to me with any questions, it was all a dream and it will be for you too!!

Our ceremony was in the Green Area of the hotel which was absolutely stunning. It was a bit smaller than expected but everything came together beautifully. I didn’t love that when I walked to the ceremony I had to turn a corner so I saw the groom right away but it really didn’t make a difference. The only downside was the “no-see-um” bugs which are sand fleas that come out at dusk and dawn and made me super itchy. The guests weren’t too bothered. The reception was held in Las Brisas on the second floor which helped with the heat but it was definitely still pretty warm. We didn’t care though, we all danced the night away. The staff was IMPECCABLE, couldn’t say better things about them all. The hotel was so kind and even let us have a little after party in the lobby bar. I couldn’t be more grateful for my experience with the Courtyard Isla Verde.

Amnel is the best asset this place has, you deserve a raise my man. From all the emails of all the planning, constant changes in the BEO, all the flexibility to allow us to have our dog, these people went beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted if it was possible.

The food was delicious, the accommodations of the hotel were great, the Valet guys were incredible and the table dealers at the casino became our friends! All of our guests were incredibly happy and we could've not asked for a better wedding! Forever grateful!

I just recently celebrated my daughter's wedding @the Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde and it was an amazing experience. Tatiana Espinoza and the entire staff were fabulous!!! Tatiana did an excellent job, always with a smile, super kind to me at all times. So attentive to all my needs and the bride's needs. Professional, organized.. on top of everything. A Wonderful and Magical Wedding.. Thank you ❤️

Finding the right wedding venue is the most import step in planning your wedding. After searching tirelessly for the right location for our destination wedding, we finally landed on Courtyard by Marriott in Isla Verde. It was the best decision we could possibly make. The location was perfect. Pricing and services offered was so much better than anything that we were finding from other venues. We immediately loved the place. This is before we were introduced to Amnel, catering director, for the Courtyard. Amnel was nothing short of amazing. We were planning our wedding from a distance so we really needed someone on the ground to pretty much hold our hand throughout the process. Amnel was attentive, responsive and extremely helpful. We could not have done this without him. Our wedding day went without a hitch. The location, food and catering staff were all amazing. Everyone at the wedding had such a great time and many of our guests kept mentioning how this was the best wedding they have ever been to. If you are planning to get married in Puerto Rico, look no farther. This is the perfect venue. We couldn’t be any happier. Thank you Amnel and the Courtyard staff for giving us our dream wedding.
