Costa Del Sol Hotels, La Herradura

"Our family of 10 stayed at Casa Blanca for Thanksgiving week. The property is beautiful and well cared for by the property manager, Jose and his wife, Sandra. Bonus for us is that we asked if their 7 year old sweet daughter could play with my grandkids (some do and some do not speak Spanish). Great fun! We all agreed that the having a cook ($30 per day) was terrific. What a treat! The food she prepared was delicious! All we had to do was pay for the groceries, make requests (use their suggestions to try the local cuisine), and say what time we would like breakfast, lunch and dinner (we would return after watching the sunset and dinner was ready). Since there is not many restaurants nearby, this worked out great! No one in our group ever got sick and we all tried new and interesting things. My grandchild unfortunately got stung by a bee and had a bad reaction. Jose, took him to the nearby clinic with his mom. Had excellent doctor care, plus follow up care (cost $20)! There is so many different areas to relax and enjoy. We booked Paola for massages one day - ahhhh worth the 40pp. One day we hired a driver to take us to Boqueron National Park. We had little kids and all enjoyed this. Construction traffic was bad so it took almost 2 hours to get there, but a lovely visit and cooler temp. We wanted to tie this in with Puerta del Diablo but little kids got restless with the long car ride. A great trip- only 10 minutes away is the 2 hr boat ride in the Estero. "
