Bella Isla Luxury Apartments

Amazing place

I have been following the development of this project for some time and was delighted when it was completed and I had the opportunity to rent one of the last available units. Alois, Jose, and the entire staff are incredibly professional. Moving from a high-service, high-end co-op in NYC, I was initially skeptical about the level of service I would receive in a rental complex. However, I must express my pleasant surprise and deep impression with the quality of the staff and their responsiveness. The building's amenities and units surpass the usual expectations for a rental property, boasting very high-end finishes. The location is top-notch, and mentioning that I live in the new Bella Isla apartments always impresses people. I can't imagine a better place to reside. If given the opportunity, I would purchase my unit in a heartbeat. The building and its staff have made my transition from New York to Florida incredibly welcoming and seamless. Really well done!

I moved into Bella Isla at the end of 2023 and I'm loving it here. The building is beautifully designed and the staff is friendly and helpful. The building manager, Jose, is super responsive and makes sure all residents have the best experience.

A building owned by Spaniards, designed after Mexico’s Tulum, occupied by affluent foreigners from New York, Europe, and California, financed by banks (foreign to all of us), built by, maintained by, and operated by underpaid foreigners. Nothing really Miami about this place besides the climate.
As one of maybe seven (?) people who is actually from South Florida to have spent a significant amount of time in this building, my opinion of this building is my opinion of Miami: it’s American mediocrity in a palm tree climate, priced as a luxury.
The fixtures are mediocre, the appliances are mediocre, the floor plans are mediocre, the hallways themselves are coloured in a most bland beige and the apartments themselves with soulless white walls and uninspiring grey floors and cabinetry.
There’s not even valet, (Luxury?)
Just underpay some locals, is it really that hard?
The building will make $1 million/month at full occupancy. Stop nickel diming basic amenities, especially at your rates.
There is no telecom at either of the front entrances, the front desk needs telecoms. Figure it out.
The lobby is nice I guess.
Save for very very few, the (underpaid) staff here is phenomenal. The useless five stars I leave is for them.
The residents here (potentially your future neighbours) are actually quite great (again, save for very few), and it is with the Miami local seal of approval I announce that at this building exists an unusually low level of Miami Trash (due in part to the fact that they can’t afford to live here, amongst other reasons.)
My personal bar, however, is quite low: it’s a place to live. In that regard. I suppose this a luxury building in that housing has become a luxury.
Former prospective (now current) residents often expressed to me they did not want to live in high rises and they loved the location (look how nice I am, I am giving you first-hand accounts, free market research).
Maybe if the zoning of 95% of this suburban wasteland of a country wasn’t single family housing, you could build more buildings like this. (But then prices would drop proportional to the level of mediocrity, I shall pray fervently to Mary the Mother of Christ that she prevent such a catastrophe never befalls our fair Miami.)

Bella isla and the team here is second to none. I moved in about a month ago and aside from the lovely apartment with excellent views and finishes this place is also made special by the team here. Jose, Alois, Veronica and Rick really make it their mission to prioritize community, tenant needs and safety. Having lived in Miami, Boston and New York, I feel more at home here than I’ve felt anywhere else.

One of the best places to live in Miami. The chill laid back apartment community is refreshing for being in Miami, but still being able to walk to the beach or quick ride to downtown. The building and units are amazing, but the staff are flat out incredible and making living here truly enjoyable!

The place it’s beautiful… Good attention.

The views are amazing and the front desk staff are so nice. Alois and Jose are doing an amazing job managing the building! I viewed the building 4 times while choosing my unit and they were accommodating each time and I can tell they took the time to curate the building with amazing people so far. It’s very quiet and move in was smooth and the 24/7 security, and complimentary coffee and water in the lobby are nice touches. The parking and Amazon lockers are easy to use and I look forward to using the amenities - the pools, rooftop garden and gym.

Been looking at places by this area as I might need to relocate and Bella Isla is definitely in my top choices. I have to say that Jose, the person who helped me out and showed me around was extremely helpful and very transparent with me. Great views, and the amenities are top notch (specially the gym and pool) They even have charging stations for electric cars. I would really recommend looking into these if you are looking for a luxury apartment around Miami Beach.
