    Enjoying La Quinta Life in our beautiful Bella Blue Pool!

    We can't say enough good things about Mario and the Bella Blue team. They not only built us a world class resort-like pool, they did it ahead of time and within budget. Furthermore, they worked hand in hand with our HOA to get approvals and were critical for completing our yardscape build. Finally, we also continue to use the Bella team for ongoing pool maintenance. Great service. We are happy to serve as a reference here or DM us for any additional reference questions. Thanks Bella Blue! Mike & Kim Rogers

    We couldn't be happier with Bella Blue Water. When we began shopping for pool contractors, we spoke to five different companies. Although price wasn't the only factor, Bella's competitive rates really stood out. However, what truly distinguished them was the prompt and clear communication from Erika and Mario. Their responsiveness was faster and more personalized than any other company we spoke with. They were always willing to spend time answering our questions and seemed genuinely interested in understanding our needs. The contractors they use and their staff are some of the best and extremely professional. Our pool construction started quickly and was completed on schedule. We have had no issues since completion and are extremely satisfied with the result. We would highly recommend Bella Blue Water to anyone for pool and hardscape needs.

    GORGEOUS!!  We LOVE our new expanded pool & deck that Mario designed!!

    We just had Bella Blue Water complete a major renovation and expansion of our pool. Mario, his office manager (Erika), project manager (Marco), and tiling team (Horatio) were all nothing short of a pleasure to work with and I can honestly say I was NEVER frustrated with him or his team. That is unheard of on a major renovation project in my experience. What I want in a company is ...a lot. However, I think that is what most want... good communication, honesty, reliability, timeliness, efficiency, cleanliness, proactive nature, detail-oriented, no hidden fees...AND a beautiful result. Mario does what he says he will do when he says he will do it...AND when there were a couple issues (I will elaborate below), he immediately brought them to my attention and collaborated with me to find the best solution and keep on our timeline. On top of that, he had vision and suggestions that can only come with many years of experience on high-end projects. I interviewed and obtained three quotes from reputable pool building companies on Yelp - all had excellent reviews. I chose Mario because he was the person that came up the with vision we ultimately decided on. I could have taken his idea and went with the company that was less expensive or one that said they would do it a couple weeks quicker...but my intuition said to award the project to Mario because he earned it, seemed the most reasonable and realistic, and made the best impression. I am glad I followed my gut. During our first introduction, I told Mario what I was generally looking to do and then he proposed a variation of my design plan and gave the reasons why. When I saw the 3D CAD Erika sent me the next day of the proposed pool along with our written and detailed quote, I knew Bella was the company we were going to go with. I proceeded to bombard Erika with 100+ bulleted questions over the next week to button down every detail of the project and she never showed frustration with my detail-oriented nature. I really appreciated that; huge kudos to her. Mario was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, so much so that I never had to go to him to ask where anything was in the process the entire project. Mario is one of those individuals that you can tell runs circles around others. He moves fast (literally), picks up on details and people's personality styles quickly, and is just an extremely efficient person. I am an A-type, so it was nice to be in like-minded company and to know he would be competent to take care of any issues when they arose...and like with all projects, they did arise. We had issues with the city inspector flagging us for something that slowed us to a standstill for a whole week. When Mario got him to understand that the deck we had planned from the beginning was already approved and provided all the necessary proof, the inspector let us proceed (we should have never been stopped to begin with). Mario kept his cool but pressed the city and the inspector to get us back on track and then Mario also had his crews work extra to make up for the lost time even though the mistake was the inspector's fault. He did this so we could have our pool completed for company visiting on the Fourth of July. Mario did this throughout our entire renovation when working with subcontractors and coordinating with inspections and our inside general contractors. Mario proactively offered to move four 500lb boulders to any other spots on our property for us (it took them four men with a dolly to move each one). Mario added electrical boxes on our deck stairs because he saw the opportunity to make that design better during the project and did not charge us for that. Mario brought us eight bags of salt to get an algae situation reversed after filling the pool even though that was not his responsibility - free of charge. The motherboard and sensor on our Pentair system went out during the renovation - Mario replaced for free without trying to blame it on us. He provided recommendations to us without any kickbacks or reward for himself for other general contractors, misters, pool servicing companies (they no longer offer maintenance service to new customers because of labor shortages). Mario offered to come back later when we have our Kool Deck Concrete resurfacing application done to help cover up the pool waterline tile - again, at no charge to us. I could go on, but really what you want to know is that Mario is on top of his projects and timelines, the details, and his customer's happiness with his work. He won't leave you high and dry. He won't ghost you. He won't charge you for crazy things to gouge you. He won't let more than a couple hours go without responding to you. Mario is top notch and a pleasure to work with...I looked forward to seeing his smiling face in our backyard several times a week and am kind of bummed his work is now done (beautifully). Hire Bella Blue Water...you will thank me later!!

    We are absolutely thrilled with the stunning pool and spa built by Bella Blue Water at our home in Palm Desert. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and exceeded all of our expectations. If I could give 10 stars I would! First and foremost, the quality of workmanship is exceptional. Every detail, from the intricate tile work to the precise placement of the concrete slabs to the perfect Pebble Tec finish is flawless. The craftsmanship truly reflects the dedication, patience and expertise of the Bella Blue Water team. Mario Elias is the owner of this fabulous, local company and he is simply amazing. His professionalism and constant communication throughout the project were outstanding. We saw Mario everyday on site throughout the weeks of work. He doesn't hide in an office but prefers to be with his team and his customers and keeps a constant eye over all the work being done on all his projects. He is definitely a "hands on" guy. His organizational skills are top notch. He kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring that our vision for the pool and spa was brought to life exactly as we imagined it, in fact, even better than we had imagined! Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly leaving us feeling confident and reassured throughout the process. We seriously felt like we were his only customers yet he had several other projects going on at the same time. Not only is the end result visually stunning, but the functionality of the pool and spa are top-notch. The design is both elegant and practical, providing a luxurious oasis for relaxation and entertainment for years to come. The equipment installed is top of the line and everything can be controlled by smartphone. Bella Blue Water has a very high standard of quality and workmanship that Mario takes very seriously and it shows in every single worker that he uses. Overall, we cannot recommend Bella Blue Water highly enough for anyone considering a pool or spa project. Their commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service truly set them apart. Thank you Bella Blue Water, thank you Mario and team for creating the backyard of our dreams! David & Michelle

    I recently had a spa and pool installed in my yard by Bella Blue Water and can attest to why this company has over a hundred 5 star reviews. They handled everything from design, to permits, demo, excavation, rebar, shotcrete, electrical/plumbing, tiling, plaster, etc. Each individual that came through to work on our home was so kind and respectful of our property. They made sure to clean up after each work day. I never got a single complaint from neighbors or HOA. I was not on site for most of the project but Mario would frequently check in on the project himself and kept me updated after each phase was completed via phone calls/texts/photos. I must've asked Erika hundreds of questions during the entire process and she was so patient with me, her responses were always quick, communication was excellent. Special shout out to Eduardo, their foreman, who helped me with electrical and gas line issues I had with my home. Mario really has a way of keeping customers calm even during the most stressful times. He has so much knowledge and experience in the industry and was able to give me a lot of really great tips and suggestions. No matter how busy he was, he always took the time to address my concerns. He is very fair with his pricing and doesn't nickle and dime you for every little thing. Mario really is a perfectionist and did an amazing job transforming our backyard despite working with very limited space, and also completed the project on time as promised. Bella Blue Water is one of the best contractors I've worked with and it is obvious that they are professionals at what they do, but they also go above and beyond to keep their customers happy. Their work and customer service level has far exceeded my expectation and given the opportunity to build another pool, I would hire them in a heartbeat!

    It's important to show up in a clean vehicle...sets the standard for an attitude of doing a good job.
    Pamela D.

    Let's talk for a minute about attitude... I said good morning to this young man, "Scott". Then I complemented his truck and how nice a clean it is... His reply was, "Thank you, it's just like how we like our pools!" Way to go Scott!

    Before our pool.

    If you are thinking of having a pool built- do it. Best decision ever. We are so happy we hired Bella Blue to build our new pool! They were great from start to finish- Mario takes really good care of his clients, and prides himself and his business on the satisfaction of his customers. Mario goes the extra mile to make sure everything is done right, even if it is not always easy. Our pool was completed on time, and given the current shortage of supplies, we found that to be pretty impressive. In 60 days, we went from an average looking backyard, to a pristine, poolside oasis. Will continue to refer friends and family to Bella Blue. Big thank you to the whole team for their help, everyone from Erika, to the gunite crew, and especially to Mario's employees were a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

    August 21, 2021 To whom it may concern: I would like to recommend Bella Blue Water Pools and Mario Elias as your next pool contractor. I found Mario through researching my YELP app.  We just recently moved into our new home and wanted to build a small pool.  The YELP ratings and reviews prompted a call.  Mario was quick to respond, and he came out to our home to discuss our plan. Our home had a sloped back yard, and Mario recommended that we installed a retaining wall for a few reasons:  1.  By having our pool on one level our usable space will be larger; 2.  We would be above the homes below us and would command a better view of the south mountains; 3.  We would not be in risk of the pool eventually falling down the small hill.  Mario stated that by doing this, our backyard space will be second to none - the only problem was that his company did not do wall construction, and I would have to find someone who did that work. He assured me that this would be best for all parties.  He told me that by concentrating only on pool construction, he builds a solid product, and doesn't get tied up with becoming a wall contractor. It was a slow start for my pool construction because I had to handle the retaining wall.  Honestly, I wasn't sure if I did the right thing, but boy....am I glad I followed Mario's advice.  After wall construction, Mario's team was on it! During the entire process, Mario was at my house every day to ensure that everything was going as planned.  His communication was excellent, and He was genuinely excited about how our pool was going to look once completed. Mario gave me recommendations for good people to help with my landscaping needs, and because of that I was able to coordinate with a guy to add plants, and artificial turf, and work with another to build the fencing over my retaining wall. I would recommend looking through "Pinterest" to get ides for the style of pool that you envision.  I found a nice fire bowl, and two pairs of tiki torches, a long with equipment for an outdoor kitchen.  Listen to Mario, and ask him for his advice.  He really knows his business!  With some preplanning, Mario's team will be able to put a great plan together for your backyard - one that you will enjoy for years to come. By the way during construction of our pool,  I asked some of Mario's sub-contractors, who is the best pool contractor: They all told me that Bella Blue Water Pools was the best in the Coachella Valley.  One guy went on to say that everyone who works for Mario is extremely happy, and all of his customer's are equally as happy with the entire process and finished product. Because we moved into a new development, two other neighbors were in the process of constructing pools in their yards and they went with a contractor that told them they could "do everything! - Walls, fences, BBQ's landscaping.  As I am writing this both of my neighbors' yards are still under construction, and my home has been finished for 18 days now - and both had their hole dug before I started construction on my retaining wall! Use Mario Elias & Bell Blue Water Pools with confidence! Bob and Beth Cummins Indian Wells, CA

    I had a complete remodel of my pool(plaster, tile) and installation of a variable speed pump, auto-filler, new hand rails, and new pool light. Overall all of the teams from Bella doing the work were excellent. Communication was super and all work was done timely. Francisco also communicated with me on the contract or any other change orders required - he is awesome!! Mario and his team know what they are doing! Mario specifically worked with me and provided a very reasonable estimate for work not planned in my remodel. Don't go anywhere else for your new pool or pool remodel!!

    "FIRST IMPRESSION LASTS" is not always true. But with Bella Blue Water, I can say IT IS! From the very 1st response we got from them when we asked a schedule for a site visit so we can get a quote, everything went smoothly thereafter.. When Mario and his dad went to make measurements, he gave us a lot of options/suggestions on layouts and features. Before them, we already had other pool builders who came over for site visits, but upon meeting Mario and his dad, we already know we would like to have Bella Blue for our pool project. Erika, who always answers emails, is VERY RESPONSIVE. We didn't feel lost throughout the process- between her and Mario updating us what's next and what to expect. The workers were also very nice. We were expecting our backyard and driveway would be a mess throughout the build as that we were seeing with others. But the workers ALWAYS CLEAN UP after every time they worked so we never had any issue with dirt and mess. WE WERE SO HAPPY with how everything turned out! See the pictures, but everything looks MORE AMAZING in person! We love to travel but we may be staying more at home because of our backyard now feeling like a vacation spot Thank you Bella Blue Water!

    Please look at the pictures of our 11 month old pavers (35k), along the pool deck and walkway. Sloppy, reckless technician. Find someone else. Pictures speak louder than words.

    I worked with Bella Blue water to build two pools at my properties . They are well priced , very fast at communicating , and very efficient at doing the job ! The men worked in the heat of 120 deg F to get the job done AHEAD of time. Elias Mario is extremely fast to communicate , very responsive to your needs for your pool and yard and gives great ideas as well. The best part is they were very thorough with contracts , plans , the office was very fast in communicating and getting things to move forward . We decided to finance the pools halfway through and the process of them working with the financing agency was seamless. Quickly sent contracts, updated photos . And at the end of the day the final product is gorgeous . Love the pools . Mario gave me a walk through of the equipment and explained it al beautifully. I'm really happy with my pools , would definitely do it all over again if I had to !
