The property was absolutely beautiful and amazing! The landscaping is the first thing we noticed from the outside and once we entered the premises, we were greeted by lush gardens. There are tons of fruits trees and we personally enjoyed eating the acerolas, pomegranates, avocados, star fruit, and even had bananas!
The grounds were quite ideal and the outdoor living area made you not want to leave the property. We spent most of our time between the outdoor couches or hammocks, the outdoor kitchen/bar area, and the pool.
The architecture of the property itself was quite appealing. I felt like I was in a Dr Seuss-type house because there were no true right-angles; all walls were rounded at the corners. The ACs in the bedrooms worked well, there were no bugs in the house, the decor was simple but just right.
There are a couple of things that are noteworthy for any future traveler/s. The host books the rooms based upon the number of guests you have so you may not have the entire house. If your group is 1-2 people, you're assigned 1 room; 3-4 people, 2 rooms, 5-6 people, 3 rooms, 7-8 people, 4 rooms, and 9-10 people, 5 rooms. We had a group of 6 adults and my 3 kids were not there the entire time. I thought we had the entire house. I called Charlie, the host, and explained our situation. He accommodated us with no issues and we paid to have the entire house. So, if you expect to have the entire house, be clear in stating as much.
The 2nd thing is extremely minor. We are a Puerto Rican family so we like to cook and when we cook, we almost always use a caldero (large cooking pot). There was no caldero in the house and had to make due. Otherwise, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need.
My family immensely enjoyed our stay and will definitely return! My aunt (not in attendance) was so impressed by the pictures and videos we shared that she has decided that she would like to stay at La Casona Blanca next year.
Lastly, the staff were extremely helpful and attentive and went about their duties without trying to disturb us. I love the fact they greeted us each morning with a "Buen dia" as they passed by us. La Casona Blanca will not disappoint and will meet your every expectation. I didn't even mention the 3rd floor area with it's amazing views of the Caribbean Sea; take in a sunset or sunrise while you're there!
Disfruten!
