We (three couples over 50) stayed for two weeks and loved every minute. The house and grounds are beautiful. The views over the Pacific are stunning. The constant roll of waves is fully audible. We chose to have staff cook our meals, even though we have never experienced such a thing before. That was a great choice. Marbelly is a fantastic cook. She and Fiama took care of our meals (every one of them delicious), cleaning (everything sparkling), and all of our washing.
Javier, who watches over and takes care of the beautiful grounds helped us with anything we needed - where to catch a taxi, how much it should cost, how to rent horses to ride on the beach (he did it for us - we insisted he ride with us and we had so much fun with him as guide). Javier went to the store for us, came with us to the store to help us navigate, went out for a late night pharmacy run, and on and on. He is so friendly and approachable.
We made full use of the lovely pool, the six hammocks, the gorgeous views from the upstairs balcony, the easy direct access to the beach where we walked early each morning.
We could go on and on, but we would not want to neglect mentioning Rogelio, whom John contracted to meet us at the airport and also take us back. But Rogelio did so much more than this - he took us to Costco (called Price Smart in Managua), and another grocery store, also to the currency exchange in Managua. He was our shepherd - so patient, friendly, and helpful.
